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.
The mesh gabion box is manufactured from a main panel that forms the face, base, near and lid of the unit. The mesh panels are reinforced at the edges with wires of a larger diameter (usually called selvedge wire), to strengthen the structure. Gabions are divided into cells by cells called diaphragms/partitions, these partitions help in the reinforcement of the Gabion Structure & help during the filling of stones during assembly. The side panels and diaphragms are then jointed to the base section of the main panel. The unit is then folded flat for transportation.
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.
