Gabionare baskets manufactured from 8x10 double twisted hexagonal woven steel wire mesh, as per ASTM A975-97 Gabions are filled with stones at the project site to form flexible, permeable, monolithic structures such as retaining walls, channel linings, and weirs for erosion control projects. The steel wire used in the manufacture of the gabion is heavily Galfan (zinc-5% aluminum-mischmetal [Zn-5 Al-MM] alloy) coated soft temper steel. A PVC coating is then applied to provide additional protection for use in polluted, contaminated or aggressive environments: in salt, fresh water, acid soil or wherever the risk of corrosion is present. The PVC coating has a nominal thickness of 0.02 in. (0.50 mm). The gabionis divided into cells by diaphragms positioned at approximately 3 ft (0.9m) centers. To reinforce the structure, all mesh panel edges are selvedged with a wire having a greater diameter. Gabions shall be manufactured and shipped with all components mechanically connected at the production facility.
Welded GabionUnlike hexagonal units, QiaoShi welded wire Gabion hold their shape better they dont bulge out when filled .They are easy to handle,which means more work,less labor and highter productivity an the job. QiaoShi Welded wire Gabion are made by one of the nations leading manufacturers of welded wire mesh. Each gabion is constructed of rugged hight tensile wire which is coated with a thick, cor-rosion-resistant layer of zinc. The wire is also available with a tough,durable PVC coating. The jality materials results in a longer,gabion life. QiaoShi welded wire supplied from stock in a complete Custom sizes to fit unique site con-ailable on special order.
Reno Mattress
The Reno mattress is a structure made of hexagonal double twisted wire mesh. Reno mattressesare filled with stones at the project site to form flexible and permeable, monolithic structures such as river bank protection and channel linings for erosion control. The steel wire used to manufacture the mattress is heavily zinc-coated soft temper steel. The standard combinations of mesh is shown in Table. In order to reinforce the structure, all mesh panel edges are selvedged with a wire having a greater diameter. Reno mattresses are divided into uniformly partitioned cells by internal diaphragms.
