Stainless Steel Hexagonal Gabion Retaining Walls With Flexible and Free Draining System

Stainless Steel Hexagonal Gabion Retaining Walls with flexible and free draining system 

gabion wall construction is considered to be a flexible and free draining system.When designing mass of gravity gabion wall, design checks must be carried out at each course level to ensure that the stability criteria is achieved throughout the structure. It is normal to incline the walls from the vertical by 6 or 10 degrees for aesthetic and stability reasons.

Instructions
The degree of inclination is a maximum of 6 degrees for the Gabion KS 39 System and 10 degrees for the Gabion KS 27 System.The walls can either be stepped or flushed face.The degree of flexibility of a gabion retaining wall is dependent upon the type of fill, quality of filling, mesh type and wire diameter of the mesh.

Typically, the more angular the fill, the greater care in filling and heavier the wire diameter of the mesh and the higher quality of installation.This results in a more dimensionally stable structure.The Gabion KS 27 System is the preferred type of products for these structures.For mass of gravity retaining walls along water courses when flexibility is required, the preferable gabion type is manufactured from double twisted woven hexagonal mesh.
