Woven Gabions

Woven Gabions 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.

Woven Gabions 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. Woven Gabions Surface treatment: 1. Electro galv. Gabion box 2.Common Hot-dipped galv. Gabion box, Zinc coated about 50g/m2 3.Heavy Hot-dipped galv.

Gabion box, Zinc coating complies to ASTM A641-1998 & EN 10244-2 4.PVC coated gabion box complies to ASTM A975 & EN 10245-2 Binding Wire : Sufficient wire is supplied for lacing and bracing operations. Tolerances : Height, Width : ±5%; Length : ±10% Packing: For easy handling and shipping, the gabions are supplied folded flat.

A color stripe applied on the side of each folded gabion identifies the size. Loading: Usually, gabions will be loaded into 40ft containers to save cost.
