Gabion box is rectangular basket fabricated from a heavily galvanized hexagonal mesh. Gabion box depends mainly on the interlocking of individual stone and rock within the wire mesh for internal stability, and their mass or weight to resist hydraulic and earth forces. It's a porous type of structure that can sometimes be vegetated. Once assembled, the gabion is filled with stone or rock and the lid secured to form a monolithic structure in accordance with the recommended installation procedures. Gabion box is enviroment friendly and cost effective when compared to other options. The strength comes from a double twisted hexagonal mesh of steel wire which is reinforced by selvedge of heavier gauge wire running along the edge and by transverse internal diaphragm at 1m centre. In the event of accidental breakage of one or more of the wires, the double twisted wire configuration will ensure that the mesh will not unravel.
Features:
* Ability to deform without cracking allowing the structure to withstand any unpredictable movement or settlement without loss or stability
* Higher resistance to natural forces due to better tensile strength
* Majority of manpower need not to be skilled & speed at which the work is carried out is unparalleled in civil engineering, besides making it cost effective
* Easy of repair to any damaged cages, with minimal expense* Cost effective and environmentally friendly alternative to concrete system
* The gabion structure blends easily and harmoniously with natural surroundings
* Simple and speedy installation , using natural or quarried stones obtained locally
* The use of Gabions as retaining structures provides a low cost alternative to concrete or masonry retaining walls
Applications:
Gabion box is rectangular woven wire mesh baskets filled with rock to form flexible, permeable, monolithic structures such as retaining walls for commercial, industrial and road projects. They are also used for erosion control, bank stabilisation, architectural and urban design features, noise attenuation structures and weirs.
