Double Twisted Hexagonal Wire Mesh Hot-Dip Galvanized Gabion Boxes

GABIONS and MATTRESSES consist of rectangular units, fabricated from a double-twisted hexagonal mesh. The gabion box is divided into units by means of diaphragms positioned at approximately 1m centres. Filled with stones, gabions become large, flexible and permeable elements from which a broad range of structures may be built. Gabions and mattresses are widely used for hydraulic and geo- technical control such as retaining walls, riverbank protections, weirs, channel linings etc.

Galvanized wire: Low carbon steel wire,diameter 2.0mm-4.0mm,the tensile strength of the steel wire not less than 380Mpa,the surface of the steel wire are protected by the galvanized coatings, the thickness of the zinc coated can be customized.

Zinc-aluminium alloy steel wire:(Also called Galfan steel wire)this is a new popular material on the international. The corrosion resistance of this wire is 3 times of the traditional galvanized wire. The wire dia canbe 1.0mm-3.0mm, and the tensile strength not less than 1380Mpa.

PVC coated wire: Twisted gabions after coating PVC on the surface of the low carbon steel wire. The PVC coating can give great protection on the heavy-pollution environment. And the alternatively colors can make it harmonious between the gabions and the surrounding environment.

Gabion box Specifications

Gabion box and Gabion mattress can be designed in different specification:

1.Cheap and simple installation. No special technology needed.Just fill the stone into the gabions and bind it.
2.Corrosion resistant, and aginst influence from the bad climate like earthquake, flood etc.
3.No collapse even deformed from heavy destroied.
4.Plant can be growed on the sludge between the stones in the gabion basket. This will helps the soil and water conservation.
5.Good permeation can prevent the damage from hydrostatic.
6.Less transport freight. It can be folded by transport and installation on the worksite.

Gabion mesh box 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.
