Gabion Baskets (or called Gabion box )

1.Gabions
Our mesh is hexagonal in shape meeting with the *0×**0 mm mesh aperture for gabions with a mesh wire diameter of 2.7mm and selvedge wire of 3.4mm diameter. Contact us also for welded mesh gabion material as well.

2.River Mattresses
Mattresses also have a hexagonal mesh spec. of *0×**0mm with 2.5mm mesh wire and 3.0mm selvage wire diameter. All gabions and mattresses use a 2.*0mm wire diameter lacing wire which is supplied with the baskets and used to lace together the mesh panels during the erection process.

Mattresses and gabion baskets are also available with a 0.5mm nominal thickness P.V.C. coating to enhance the resistance of the baskets to corrosion of the wire mesh. This provides a overall increase in diameter of 1mm to all wires used in the manufacturing process.

Applications
Gabions have been around for over a hundred years internationally and have a wide range of uses, new ones are continually being found. We have listed below the most common ones used up till now for your information. Kindly contact us for any information or design assistance you may need related to any of the applications listed below. We look forward to hearing from you about new ones you might have been exposed to.

Advantages of using Gabions :

• Simple to install – Using unskilled labour.
• Environmentally acceptable – The use of local rock and soils for backfill is encouraged, with the subsequent growth of vegetative cover made easy.
• Flexible Nature – Able to move and settle without failure, even on unstable soils.
• Economical – Suitable stone can be normally found on site or from a nearby commercial rock supply.
• The gabion basket has a high compressive resistance (rock) and tensile (mesh) strength capacity.
• Baskets allow free drainage of water through the structure, weep holes are unnecessary (porosity – *5%).
• Vegetation can be incorporated within or over the structures to blend in with the local environment.
• The local ecosystem within a riverine environment is unaffected using gabions, as they allow the free flow of water and growth of plants through their structures, even the breeding of fish in the open pore spaces.
• With time the strength of a gabion protection is enhanced with the growth of plants, their root systems penetrating the porous gabion structure and hiding the construction scar of a gabion intervention.
