Gabions have been around for over a hundred years and have a wide range of applications and new ones are continually being found.
Application of the Gabion mesh:
1.Mass – gravity retaining walls
2.Skin-reventment walls
3.Re-inforced soil walls
4.Gab – clad walls – architectural wall cladding
5.Terrace walls
6.River canal lining
7.River training structures
8.Gabion weirs
9.Dam embankment protection structures
10.Roadway culvert in or outlet structures
11.Low-level or Irish crossings
12.Longitudinal river structures
13.Biofilters (Sewage Plants)
14.Hydrochambers (Water storage)
15.Rockfall mesh netting
16.River diversion structures
17.Mine primary crusher walls
18.Architectural applications
19.Bridge abutment protection
20.Sound barriers
Water Conservancy
The development and control of the river-ways concerns the technology of laying protective layer,with permanent protective function,on sections.The ston gabion can control water flowing volume and protect water resource from running off in holding the neigh-boring water resource and protecting and controlling the zoolory.
Main Characteristics of Water conservancy:
1. General evolution of watercoursesl approach
2. Bioengineering: a globa
3. Gabion gravity structures
4. Weirs
5. Groynes
6. Strengthening the stability of the river beds
7. Protecting riverbeds from being washed away
8. Providing the prefixed value of coarseness modulus of river banks
