Double Twisted Hexagonal Wire Mesh Hot-Dip Galvanized Gabion Boxes
GABIONS and MATTRESSES consist of rectangular units, fabricated
from a double-twisted hexagonal mesh. The gabion box is divided
into units by means of diaphragms positioned at approximately 1m
centres. Filled with stones, gabions become large, flexible and
permeable elements from which a broad range of structures may be
built. Gabions and mattresses are widely used for hydraulic and
geo- technical control such as retaining walls, riverbank
protections, weirs, channel linings etc.
Galvanized wire: Low carbon steel wire,diameter 2.0mm-4.0mm,the
tensile strength of the steel wire not less than 380Mpa,the surface
of the steel wire are protected by the galvanized coatings, the
thickness of the zinc coated can be customized.
Zinc-aluminium alloy steel wire:(Also called Galfan steel wire)this
is a new popular material on the international. The corrosion
resistance of this wire is 3 times of the traditional galvanized
wire. The wire dia canbe 1.0mm-3.0mm, and the tensile strength not
less than 1380Mpa.
PVC coated wire: Twisted gabions after coating PVC on the surface
of the low carbon steel wire. The PVC coating can give great
protection on the heavy-pollution environment. And the
alternatively colors can make it harmonious between the gabions and
the surrounding environment.

Gabion box and Gabion mattress can be designed in different
specification:
1.Cheap and simple installation. No special technology needed.Just
fill the stone into the gabions and bind it.
2.Corrosion resistant, and aginst influence from the bad climate
like earthquake, flood etc.
3.No collapse even deformed from heavy destroied.
4.Plant can be growed on the sludge between the stones in the
gabion basket. This will helps the soil and water conservation.
5.Good permeation can prevent the damage from hydrostatic.
6.Less transport freight. It can be folded by transport and
installation on the worksite.
Gabion mesh box applications:
Control and guide of water or flood
Flood bank or guiding bank
Preventing of rock breaking
Water and soil protection
Bridge protection
Strengthening structure of soil
Protection engineering of seaside area.
