Gabion is used as gabion box(gabion basket), gabion mattress or gabion mesh. To fill with stones at the river bank or seaside to stop flood, on the mountain prevent rock falling.

Main Characteristics of Gabion:

1.Good adaptability: adapting to the deformation of the groundwork.

2.High flexibility: not likely to be broken, bearing a large rang of deformation without collapsing.

3.Anticorrosive and washing-away-resisting, high resistance to natural damage, bad climate, quake and impact.

4.With both penetratability and non-penetratability, damage caused by fluid static power is prevented.

5.Available for growth and beautification of vegetation with the mud in the stone gaps, merging an organic whole with the surroundings.

6.Easy construction, not needing special technique, only putting stones into the gabions and tiding the gabion opening.

7.Saving transport fees: folded when transported and assembled on the work site.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD TO FOLLOW:
ASTM 975 standard:
Style 1 galvanzied wire as per ASTM A 641, class 3 soft temper
Style 2 style 1 and overcoated with PVC
Style 3 Zn-5Al-MM coated wire as per ASTM A 856
EN 10223-3 standard:
Galvanzied wire meets EN 10244-2 and old BS 443
Tensile strength between 380N/mm2 and 550N/mm2 according to BS 1052.
TOLERANCES:
On the hexagonal, double-twisted wire mesh opening shall not exceed ±10% on the nominal dimension.

In order to strengthen the baskets, all the edges of structure selvedged with wire of greater diameter.

Gabion baskets are supplied in various lengths ,widths and heights.

 

Gabion baskets have the features of simple installation, no special technology needed, corrosion resistant, economic, mixed to form a integrity with the natural environment.

Gabion baskets are general used forslope support, foundation pit, mountain rock hanging mesh shotcrete, slope vegetation (green). it is also made cages mat for rivers, dams and anti-erosion protection seawall and reservoirs, closure cages of rivers.

Gabion box is made of triple twist hexagonal woven mesh fabric with G. I. wires and PVC coated wires. The box shaped gabions are simply filled with natural stone used for channels, rock fall, roadside and culverts protection.
