DESCRIPTION OF GABION:
Gabion is basket or mesh roll made of twisted hexagonal wire Mesh(80X100 APERTURE). Gabion box is filled with rock at the project site to form flexible, permeable, monolithic structures such as retaining walls, channel linings and weirs for erosion control projects.
Material
1. Galvanized steel wire: high quality low carbon steel wire, wire diameter 2.0mm -4.0mm. The tensile strength of steel wire shall be more than 380 Mpa. Protected by Hot dipped galvanized, galvanized thickness can be required by cuntomers, the Max is 300g/m². Heavy zinc-coated wire(EN10244-2 240g/m²)
2. Zinc - 5%Aluminum - Mixed rare earth alloy steel wire (Galfan wire):Corrosion resistance is more than three times of the traditional pure galvanized. Wire diameter 1.0mm-3.0mm, The tensile strength of steel wire shall be more than 1380 Mpa
3. Pvc coated wire(Pvc thickness:0.38-0.5mm)

PACKAGE
Package:40-100set/ bundle,binding with steel strape or strands; 40-100set/bundle;then use wooden tray; some sizes in rolls; as customer's requirement
MATTRESSES are also rectangular boxes which are larger in area and thinner in depth than gabions.They are made with a smaller mesh size and a thinner wire to provide a higher degree of flexibility.Like the gabions,the mesh is framely a thicker selvedge wire but due to the larger size of the mattress the lid is made of a separate panet of mesh to the base.Additional end panels and internal diaphragms at 1.0m centres are then wired to the base of thr mattress.

GABION CHARACTERISTICS:
1. Economy. Put the stones into the cage, then seal it
2. Construction is simple, without special skills.
3. The stong ability to withstand natural damage,prevent corrosion resistance and resist the bad climate impact
4. Withstand large-scale deformation, no collapse.
5. The plant can grow in the mud of rock crevice, melting into the surrounding natural environment.
6. The good permeability to prevent the damage of static fluid, and benefit the stability of hillside and bench
7. Save transportation costs.It can be transported after folded up, assembled on site.
8. Environmental protection material, cadmium(cd)<10ppm,lead(Pb)<50ppm,noxious substance, like mercury(Hg),hexavalent chromium(Cr6+),PBB,PBDE, conformity with environmental protection standard of RoSH completely.
