Gabion Basket

Gabion Basket /Gabions/Gabion box/Gabion boxes / Gabion mesh/heavy hexagonal wire mesh Gabion Basket are divided into cells with diaphragms (usually spaced at 1 meter or 3’ intervals), whose function is to reinforce the structure.

The mesh (except for the diaphragms) is reinforced on all edges with wires of a larger diameter to strengthen the gabions and facilitate the assembly and installation. Gabion Basket consist of rectangular units, fabricated from a double-twisted hexagonal mesh.

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. Gabion Basket Surface treatment: 1.
