Sack Gabion
Sack Gabions are manufactured with all components mechanically connected at the production facility. All Sack Gabions are supplied in the collapsed form, folded and bundled. The bundles are compressed and strapped together at the factory for easy shipping and handling. Lacing wire is supplied in coils. Ring fasteners are shipped in boxes which must be stored in a dry environment.
Gabion Sacks are filled with stone at the site to form flexible and durable structures to be used in river training and emergency works. Sack gabions are supplied with reinforcing wires to be inserted during the manufacturing process to facilitate closing during installation. The wire used in gabion sacks is heavily zinc coated soft temper steel.
Sack Gabion is a kind of cage net which is made of mantel wire mesh (hexagonal wire mesh).
Different kinds of wire diameter are used according to the hexagonal size. If Sack Gabiont is galvanized, the diameter of the wire is 2.0mm-4.0mm. The diameter changes from 3.0mm to 4.5mm if the wire has PVC coating, more wider wire will be used for weaving the outline edg.
