Plastic Coated Gabion Wire Mesh Boxes Rockfall Netting‎ Anti Corrosion

Plastic coated Gabion mesh box / Reno Mattress / Rockfall Netting‎

Product Description:

Gabions are wire mesh baskets that are filled on site with typically stone or rock to form larger building modules, there are 2 types of gabions according different use, gabion basket and gabion mattress, most popular specifications as below:

Gabion Baskets

Hexagonal Woven Mesh type, Class A Galvanised OR with an additional 0.5-0.8mm PVC coating of aperture 80 x 100mm, mesh wire diameter of 2.7mm and salvage wire diameter of 3.4mm.

Reno / River Mattress

Specifications: Hexagonal Woven Mesh type, Class A Galvanised OR with an additional 0.5-0.8mm PVC coating of aperture 60 x 80mm, mesh wire diameter of 2.2mm and salvage wire diameter of 2.7mm.

Advantages:

1. Metal Gabion made of hexagonal double twisted wire mesh provide adequate strength to the structure to withstand forces generated by retained earth and flowing water.

2. The flexibility of the double twisted hexagonal mesh helps in withstanding differential settlement without fracturing the structure particularly when a structure is installed on unstable and uneven ground or in an area where scours from waves or current can undermine etc.

3. The permeable nature of the Metal Gabion eliminates buildup of hydrostatic pressure behind the retaining structure and uplifts caused by turbulent flows. Hence the thickness of the required structure is significantly reduced.

4. Metal Gabion structures are heavy monolithic gravity units able to withstand earth's thrust. Its efficiency increases instead of decreasing with age since further consolidation takes place as silt and soil collect on the voids and vegetation establishes itself.

Gabion application:

erosion protection structures

weirs

soil retaining walls

culvert headwalls

Gabion structures are able to develop and integrate with the surrounding environment, permitting the preservation or restoration of the natural environment.
