Gabion Baskets are wire containers made of hexagonal wire netting.
Wire diameter varies with the hexagonal nettings.
For hexagonal gabion wire with no pvc coating,the wire diameter ranges from 2.0mm to 4.0mm.For those PVC coated hexagonal gabion baskets,the outside diameter ranges from 3.0mm to 4.0mm.The wire of the outside frame edge is one wiregauge thicker than the wire used for hexagonal wire netting.
Gabions boxes are wire mesh baskets filled with stones,rocks and other hardmaterials,properly wired together for construction of erosion controlstructures,in civil engineering works.
Mesh opening and maximum wire diameter ratio:
| Mesh opening(mm) | 60*80 | 70*90 | 80*100 | 90*110 | 100*120 | 130*150 |
| Wire diameter(mm) | 3.0 | 3.2 | 3.2 | 3.5 | 3.4 | 3.8 |
Gabion basktes are ideal materials for flood prevention and flood control in protecting and support seawall,hillside,road bridges,reservoir and other civil engineering in the form of mesh containers filed with stones.Usually use of the gabion wall is below:
● Control and guide rivers and floods
● Channel Canal Bed
● Bank protection slope
