Welded Wire Mesh Gabion is manufactured from cold steel wire for tensile strength. It is electrically welded together then hot dipped galvanized or PVC coated, ensuring a longer life. There are galvanized welded gabion and welded PVC gabions. Gabion boxes are designed on the principle of mass earth retaining wall. The strength of the wire mesh helps to with- stand the forces generated by the retained soil.
Material: Galvanized, PVC coated
Wire diameter: 3.0-6.0mm
Mesh size: 25 x 25mm, 50 x 50mm, 100 x 50mm, 100 x 100mm and 3' x 3'.
Mesh panels size are normal 500 x 500mm, 1000 x 500mm, 1000 x 1000mm, 2000 x 500mm,2000 x 1000mm, 2000 x 300mm, 1000 x 300mm. Other panel size is available according to required gabions size.
Gabion height : is 1.0m, 0.5m, 0.3m.
Advantages:
Blends easily and harmoniously with the natural surroundings.
Low cost alternative to concrete or masonry structures.
Very high resistance to natural forces due to better tensile strength.
Can withstand any unpredictable movement or settlement without loss of stability.
Simple and speedy installation, making it cost effective.
Quality finish and appearance is more aesthetically pleasing.
More rigid than woven mesh resulting in a more uniform finish when built.
Welded Wire Mesh Gabion is widely used in retaining wall structures, rockfall and soil protection and so on. Welded gabions are filled on site with hard and durable stone to form mass gravity structures. And welded gabions are quicker and simpler to install than woven mesh gabions.
