Product Detail

Gabion box also named gabion basket, is weaved by corrosion resistance, high strength and good ductility galvanized wire or PVC coating wire through mechanical. Wire's material is zinc-5% aluminum alloy (galfan), low carbon steel, stainless steel or iron. Gabion mattress is similar to gabion basket. But gabion mattress's height is lower than gabion basket, structure is flat and big. Gabion basket and gabion mattress are stone containers, uniformly partitioned into internal cells, interconnected with other containers and filled with stone at site to form flexible, permeable, monolithic structures to control and guide water or flood, protect dam or seawall, or used as retaining walls, channel lining and other applications.

Application

Retaining wall structures;Prevention of current scour and erosion control;Bridge protection;Hydraulic structures, dams and culverts; Embankment protection; Rockfall prevention and soil erosion protection.
Feature of the Hexagonal Mesh Gabion Basket:
(1) Economic. Just fill the stone into the gabion and seal it.
(2) Simple installation. No special technology needed.
(3) Weather proof under natural destroy, corrosion resistant.
(4) No collapse even under big scope of deforming.
(5) Sludge in the stones is good for plant growing. Mixed to form a integrity with the natural environment.
(6) Good permeation can prevent the damage by hydrostatics.
(7) Less transport freight. It can be folded together for transport and further installation.

Installation Process

1. Ends,diaphragms,front and back panels are placed upright on the bottom section of wire mesh
2. Secure panels by screwing sprial binders through the mesh openings in adjacent panels
3. Stiffeners shall be placed across the corners, at 300mm from the corner. Providing a diagonal bracing,and crimped
4. Box gabion filled with graded stone by hand or with a shovel.
5. After filling,close the lid and secure with sprial binders at the diaphragms,ends,front and back.
6. When stacking tiers of the weled gabion,the lid of the lower tier may serve as base of the upper tier.Secure with sprial binders and add pre-formed stiffeners to exterior cells before filling with graded stones.
