galvanized welded gabion box

Welded Gabion Box

Welded gabion box 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. It is manufactured from cold steel wire for tensile strength. It is then electrically welded together and hot dipped galvanized or zinc 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.

Welded gabion box 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.

•Quicker and cheaper to install than Woven Mesh gabions because no pre-stretching required.

•Special gabions sizes and mesh such as gabions with 4mm front mesh and 3mm mesh else can be available.

•Easy to vegetate.

Our welded gabion box is widely used for the following application: control and guide of water; preventing of rock breaking; water and soil, roadway and bridge protection; strengthening structure of soil; protection engineering of seaside area and retaining wall structures; hydraulic structures, dams and culverts; coastal embankment works; architectural feature retaining walls.
