HEXAGONAL WIRE MESH (GABION BOX)

1Introduction

Gabion is made of hexagonal wire mesh, the wire diameter is basis on the different sizes of hexagon. If the wire is zinc coated, the wire diameter should be 2.0mm to 4.0mm, if it is PVC-coated, the wire should be 3.0mm to 4.5mm, Then the edge wire shoud be thicker one size wire guage than the hexagonal mesh wire

2Material

1.galvanized wire: low carbon still wire with diameter ranging from 2.0mm to 4.0mm, tensile strength≥380mpa, the wire surface is galvanized, the thickness of zinc layer is customizable, the max zinc content is 300g/m2

2.zinc-5% aluminum-mixed mischmetal alloy steel wire: a new-type material with diameter ranging from 2.0mm to 4.0mm, tensile strength≥380mpa. it offers as more than three times the corrosion resistance of pure zinc

3.galvanized steel wire, PVC or PE coated: PVC or PE coating will provide great protection to the gabion wire mesh, especially in a high-pollution environment

4.zinc-5%aluminum-mixed mischmetal alloy steel wire, PVC or PE coated: the steel wire is coated with a PVC or PE protective layer, which provides protection against pollution and can be available in various colors

4Application

Gabion boxes applications:
Control and guide of water or flood
Flood bank or guiding bank
Preventing of rock breaking
Water and soil protection
Bridge protection
Strengthening structure of soil
Protection engineering of seaside area

5Features

1.Economical. you just need to put stones in the mesh and then seal it

2.Flexible. corrosion resistant and can stand up to extreme weather

3.Simple struction, requiring no special technique

4.the silt between the wire mesh and stone contributes to plant grows. this makes the gabion mesh harmonious with the surrounding natural environment

5.Good permeability of the mesh prevents damage caused by hydrostatic force, thus helping ensure the stability of hillside and beach

6.the gabion mesh folding and can be assembled on side, which saves on transport costs

6Packaging

50-100gabion meshs per bundle, wrapped with 2-4 steel strips
