PVC Coated Gabion Basket and es For Flood Protection

Product Description:

Gabions are an ideal choice for river erosion control as well as coastal management and as sea levels are rising, there is an increased risk to coastal communities. The PVC coated wire mesh used to make Gabions and s is one of the few construction materials that can withstand highly corrosive marine environments. Gabions and s have an advantage over traditional construction materials such as concrete because they are extremely strong and will not be washed away. They are also permeable and are flexible enough to conform to ground movement, as well as helping to dissipate and slow the water flow.

Gabions basket sizes: 2m x 1m x 1m, 3m x 1m x 1m, 4m x 1m x 1m, 2m x 1m x 0.5m, 4m x 1m x 0.5m etc.

sizes: 3m*1m*0.17m, 3m*1m*0.25m, 4m*1m*0.25m, 4m*1m*0.3m, 6m*2m*0.23m, 6m*1m*0.3m etc.

Specification of River Mattress

Gabion mesh Features:

ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLINESS–Gabions and es are environmentally friendly products.

PERMEABILITY–The stone fill allows the water to seep through the structure while retaining the soil, therefore no additional drainage is required to relieve the hydrostatic pressures.

EASY TO BUILD–Gabions and es construction does not require skilled labor because they are very easy to build.

Gabion basket and mattress applications:

Control and guide of water or flood
Flood bank or guiding bank
Preventing of rock breaking
Water and soil protection
Bridge protection
Strengthening structure of soil
Protection engineering of seaside area.

How to built gabion mattress?

Step 1 Erosion Control

Individual Mattress is first unfolded on flat, hard ground and stamped to remove all kinks. The two long sides and both end panels are then lifted upright and secured in position by tying the selvedge wires together.

Step 2 Assembly

The vertical edges of all internal diaphragms are attached to the sides and laced with typing wire or approved interlocking wire fastener.

Step 3 Slopes River Beds

The assembled Mattress is then aligned in the required position and tied or fastened to adjacent mattress along the whole length of selvedge wire. Mattress units should be placed in proper position so that movement of rock fill inside the cage -- due to gravity or flowing current -- is minimal. Thus, on slopes, Mattresses should be placed with its internal diaphragms at right angles to the direction of the slope. On river beds, position Mattress with the internal diaphragms at right angles to the direction flow.

Step 4 Hexagonal Mesh

The stone is placed into the compartments (cells). If it's a slope, start from the bottom. One or more Mattresses can be filled at the same time.

Step 5 Erosion Control

Sequence the installation by keeping the stone filling crew well ahead of the lid placement crew. Lids or top panels must be securely tied or fastened to side-tops and end panels and also to the top of the inner partitions.

Step 6 Form Cut Assembly

The Mattresses may be either telescoped or cut to form and tied at required shape when necessary, e.g. when Mattresses are laid on a radius. For a sharp curve, it may be necessary to cut the Mattress diagonally into triangular sections and tie the open side securely to an intact side panel.
