Gabion Basket

Gabions are wire mesh boxes, containers or baskets filled with rock to prevent soil erosion and to retain/contain soil particles. Gabions and geotextiles are normally used together to reduce water velocities and to re-capture river bed sediment in streams. Flat Gabions, called River or Reno Mattresses, are widely used in river courses where soil erosion is a problem over a large flat or sloped area in need of protection against soil loss or scour. They are used mostly in the civil engineering industry, especially in the construction of roadway drainage structures. Recently however, due to the environmental benefits associated with gabions, they are being used in many various applications and industries.

The wire used to manufacture double twisted gabion wire mesh is soft annealed, mild steel wire provided with heavy zinc coating as per EN 10244/ASTM A 641 to prevent corrosion. In case of use in aggressive environments, it is further extruded with 0.5mm thick PVC Coating. The PVC coating is UV stabilized as per ASTM A 975.

Welded gabion Features

● Strength and flexibility.

● Good decotative,not only used on river area,but also can used on decorative wall

● The double twisted hexagonal mesh means that the wire will not unravel when cut which allows the gabions to be easily cut and shaped to suit project requirements.

● Strong anti-corrosion:heavy galvanized wire or Galfan wire,or glued PVC coated wire,PE coated wire to make the gabion wire mesh can more improve capacity of anti-corrosion,can adapted to sea environment.

● Economy: Wire mesh gabions are less expensive than most construction materials. Graded stone fill is usually locally available. Waste materials such as crushed concrete may be specified in place of stone.

Welded gabion Application

It is often used in earth movement and erosion, river control, reservoirs, canal refurbishment, landscaping and retaining walls.,gabion umbrella stand,etc.Gabions are also used for erosion control, bank stabilization, channel linings, and weirs.
