Hexagonal Galvanized Gabion basket for soil erosion protection

Detailed Product Description

Hexagonal Galvanized Gabion basket for soil erosion protection

Product Description:

Gabion mesh is made of hexagonal wire netting. Wire diameter varies with the hexagonal nettings. For hexagonal wire netting with no PVC coating, the wire diameter ranges from 2.0 mm to 4.0 mm. For those PVC coated hexagonal wire netting, the outside diameter ranges from 3.0 mm to 4.0 mm. The wire of the outside frame edge is one wire gauge thicker than the wire used for hexagonal wire netting.

Gabion Baskets consist of Square or rectangular cells, and are made of hexagonal mesh from Low Carbon, heavily galvanized or Galfan coated wire. The wire mesh gabions are formed by weaving adjacent strands of wire by wisting, forming a hexagonal shaped mesh. The ends of the mesh wires are wrapped around a heavier transverse edge wire to form the panels.

Applications:

Retaining Walls

River Training

Soil Erosion Protection

Highways Protections

Coastal Embarkments

Recharge Dams

Channel & Cannal Lining Work

Corrosion Protection:

The wire used in manufacture of Gabion includes corrosion [protection of wire by way of Zinc Coating (galvanizing) of Galfan Coating usually according to EN10244-2 Table II Class A or other international standards.

Additional Corrosion protection is sometimes required for harsh / sultry / wet conditions. In such cases, wire, prior to manufacturing the mesh, is coated with a special PVC, PP or PA coating as per EN10245 to enhance corrosion protection of the Gabions and the Structure. Better protection against possible corrosion is obtained so the gabions become more suitable for use in marine or polluted environments.
