What is gabion net and what does it do?

Gabion mesh is a angular mesh (hexagonal mesh) cage made of mechanically woven low-carbon steel wires with high corrosion resistance, high strength and ductility or PVC-coated steel wires. The box structure is made of this mesh. It's a gabion. The diameter of the mild steel wire used varies according to engineering design requirements according to ASTM and EN standards. Generally between 2.0-4.0mm, the tensile strength of the gabion mesh steel wire is not less than 38kg/m2, the weight of the metal coating is generally higher than 245g/m2, and the edge line diameter of the gabion mesh is generally larger than the diameter of the network cable. The length of the twisted part of the double wire shall not be less than 50mm to ensure that the metal coating and PVC coating of the twisted part of the steel wire are not damaged. Box-type gabions are connected by large-sized hexagonal mesh. During construction, only stones need to be loaded into the cage and sealed. Gabion specifications: 2m x 1m x 1m, 3m x 1m x 1m, 4m x 1m x 1m, 2m x 1m x 0.5m, 4m x 1m x 0.5m, and can also be produced according to customer requirements. Surface protection states include hot-dip galvanizing, galvanized aluminum alloy, PVC coating, etc.

Gabion cages can also be made into cages and mesh mats, which are used for anti-scouring protection of rivers, dams and seawalls, and cages for damming reservoirs and rivers.

The most serious disaster in rivers is the erosion of river banks and their destruction, causing flooding, resulting in massive losses of life and property and massive soil erosion. Therefore, when dealing with the above problems, the application of the ecological grid structure has become one of the best solutions, which can permanently protect the river bed and bank.

1. The flexible structure can adapt to changes in slope without being damaged, and has better safety and stability than rigid structures;
2. It has strong anti-scouring ability and can withstand the maximum water flow speed of up to 6m/s;
3. The structure is essentially water-permeable and has strong tolerance for the natural action and filtration of groundwater. Suspended objects and silt in the water can be deposited in the stone-filling gaps, which is conducive to the growth of natural plants and gradual recovery. original ecological environment. Gabion mesh is an iron wire or polymer wire mesh format that holds the stone filling in place. A wire cage is a structure made of a mesh or welding of wire. Both structures can be electroplated, and the woven wire box can be additionally coated with PVC. Use weather-resistant hard stones as filler, which will not break quickly due to abrasion in the stone box or gabion sinking. Gabions containing different types of block stones have different properties. The multi-angular stones can interlock well with each other, and the gabions filled with them are not easy to deform.
