Gabion Sack

Gabion Sack - Corrosion Resistance Cylindrical Stone Bag Gabion sack is cylindrical bag woven by double twist hexagonal wire mesh. It supplies with steel reinforcing wire inserted during the manufacturing process to facilitate closing during installation. The wire of sack gabion is galfan, heavily galvanized, PVC coated or heavily galvanized plus PVC coated.

Edge wire is thicker than the wire of mesh. Gabion sack is filled with rocks at the project site, then placed tightly one by one. The structure is similar to gabion basket: flexible, permeable and monolithic structure. It can be used in emergency situation and river training, also provide defense from the erosion effect of water.

When installing, it should be take care that do not damage the galvanized layer and PVC coating.

Specifications Surface treatment: galfan, galvanized, PVC coated, galvanized plus PVC coated. Mesh opening shape: hexagon. Weaving method: normal twist (double twisted or triple twisted), reverse twist (double twisted). Nominal thickness of PVC coating layer is 0.5 mm to 1.0 mm. Tensile strength of wire is above 380 MPa.

The weight of zinc layer is above 245 g/m2. Selvedge wire is cruder than the wire of mesh. Tie wire is thinner than the wire of mesh. Galvanized is hot dipped galvanized. Thickness of galvanized layer can be manufactured according to customer's requirement, maximum can reach 300 g/m2. Length and diameter can be customized.

Features of gabion sack

Corrosion, rust resistance. Flexible, permeable, monolithic structure. Resistant to deform, breaks will not spread and easy to repair. Plant can grow in the spacing of stone. High applicability, good or poor foundation is suitable. Convenience, install quickly, effective, stable. Low cost, long life. PVC coated gabion sack has longer life. Applications

Sack gabion is used in emergency situation and river training work when local conditions require fast installation. Sack gabion can be used when the water does not allow for easy access to the site and when underwater installation is necessary. Sack gabion can protect river banks from erosion, protect bridge and pier from scour.

Sack gabion also can control and guide water or flood the same as gabion basket. Sack gabion can be used as the foundation of dam.
