Reinforced gabion is an advanced products of double twisted woven gabion meshes, which are added parallel reinforced steel wires on every other meshes. It can increase the tensile strength and loading capacity of meshes significantly.
The selvedges of the gabion baskets are the thicker perimeter and edge wires to which the wire mesh is secured as to withstand sudden or gradual stress from any direction. Reinforcing wires are the thicker wires incorporated into the netting during fabrication. The internal diaphragms are the internal wire mesh partitions which divide the gabions into cells. Lacing or tie wire is used to assemble and join the gabion units. Connecting wires are the internal wire used to prevent the gabions from bulging. Alternative wire fasteners are ASTM approved wire fasteners used in lieu of lacing.
