Gabion baskets are constructed from heavy-duty 2.7mm high-density galvanized (HDG) or ZnAl (Galfan) coated steel wire, featuring hexagonal or welded mesh designs. These modular wire structures are filled with rock or masonry to form durable, permeable barriers ideal for slope stabilization, riverbank protection, dam reinforcement, and roadway embankments.
Technical Specifications
Wire Diameter: 2.0–3.9mm (±0.05–0.07mm tolerance)
Coating: Minimum zinc coating 215–275g/m² (Galfan/PVC options available)
Mesh Sizes: 80×100mm / 100×120mm (±16%/-4% tolerance)
Standard Dimensions: 2×1×1m (customizable length/height/diaphragm spacing)
Key Advantages
Structural Resilience: Withstands tensile, shear, and bending stresses.
Flexible Design: Accommodates ground settlement without integrity loss.
Eco-Friendly Permeability: Prevents waterlogging and soil instability vs. rigid concrete.
Cost-Effective: Low maintenance with a 50+ year lifespan in harsh environments.
Applications
River/flood control and channel paving
Retaining walls for highways and bridges
Erosion prevention in slopes/embankments
Drainage systems and coastal protection
Infrastructure stabilization (e.g., steep hills, construction sites)
