Product Description
Woven Mesh Gabion Baskets are constructed from double or triple-twisted chain-link hexagonal wire mesh. The twisting design ensures structural integrity even if individual wires are damaged. Their flexibility makes them ideal for uneven ground in civil engineering projects, where deformation is expected. The resulting walls mimic natural dry stone effects, seamlessly integrating into environments like riverbanks and coastal defenses.
Structural Variations
- Double Twisted (3-strand): Cost-effective for low-to-medium retaining walls.
- Triple Twisted (5-strand): Enhanced tensile strength for heavy-duty applications like high-impact coastal protection.
Technical Parameters
| Wire Dia. (mm) | Tolerance (mm) | Min. Zinc Coating (g/m²) |
|---|---|---|
| 2.0–3.9 | ±0.05–0.07 | 215–275 |
Specifications
- Mesh Sizes: 80×100mm, 100×120mm (tolerance: +16%/-4%)
- Dimensions (L×W×H): 1.5×1×0.5m to 4×1×1m, with optional diaphragms.
Applications
- Retaining Walls: Economical and aesthetic alternative to concrete or masonry.
- River & Coastal Protection: Reduces erosion and absorbs wave energy.
- Hydraulic Structures: Used in dams, culverts, and roadways for permeability and drainage.
- Slope Stabilization: Combines drainage and soil retention to prevent hydrostatic pressure.
Key Advantages
- Flexibility: Adapts to ground shifts without structural failure.
- Durability: Galvanized coating ensures a>50-year lifespan.
- Cost Efficiency: Lower installation and material costs vs. rigid systems.
