gabion basket

Descripción del producto

Gabion basket consist of rectangular units, fabricated from a double twisted hexagonal mesh. Filled with stones, gabions become large, flexible and permeable elements from which a broad range of structures may be built. Gabions and mattresses are widely used for hydraulic and geo- technical control such as retaining walls, riverbank protections, weirs, channel linings etc.

Gabion baskets are divided into cells with diaphragms (usually spaced at 1 meter or 3’ intervals), whose function is to reinforce the structure. The mesh (except for the diaphragms) is reinforced on all edges with wires of a larger diameter to strengthen the gabions and facilitate the assembly and installation.



 

Wire

Lacing and bracing wire is the wire used to assemble and join the gabion units.

Connecting wires are the internal wires used to prevent the gabions from bulging during filling.

All tests on wire must be performed prior to manufacturing the mesh. All wire should comply with ASTM A****7, style 3 coating, Galfan and PVC coated steel wire. Wire used for the manufacture of gabions and the lacing wire, shall have a maximum tensile strength of *5 **0 psi (**5 MPa) as per ASTM A*****3, soft temper steel.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD TO FOLLOW:

ASTM **5 standard:Style 1 galvanzied wire as per ASTM A **1, class 3 soft temper

Style 2 style 1 and overcoated with PVC

Style 3 Zn*5Al-MM coated wire as per ASTM A **6

EN ******3 standard:

Galvanzied wire meets EN ******2 and old BS **3

Tensile strength between **0N/mm2 and **0N/mm2 according to BS ***2.

TOLERANCES:

On the hexagonal, double-twisted wire mesh opening shall not exceed ±*0% on the nominal dimension.

In order to strengthen the baskets, all the edges of structure selvedged with wire of greater diameter.

Gabion baskets are supplied in various lengths ,widths and heights
