Retaining Wall Welded Steel Wire Mesh Gabion Box / Welded Gabion Basket

Welded Mesh Gabions are manufactured from Hot-dipped Galvanized wire or Galfan Wire or triple life coated.

3" x 3" (76.2mm x 76.2mm) x 3, 4 or 5mm Galfan coated (95% Zinc 5% Aluminium for up to 4 times the life of a galvanised finish, see attached data sheet for comparison with standard galvanising) welded mesh Gabion baskets wire as per EN 10218-2. All mesh panels used to produce our baskets are European sourced and conform to EN10244-2 with a tensile range of 540-770N/mm2, steel grade 0.10% Carbon max, Weld sheer strength minimum 75% of the tensile strength of the wire.

We also supply gabion baskets in the same specification as the above but in Green Nature coated. Full specification 3" x 3" (76.2mm x 76.2mm) x 2.77/3.22mm 4life "4 times the life of a galvanized finish", then Nature coated welded mesh. Nature coated to an overall diameter or 3.22mm, average coating thickness is no less than 0.25mm, Nature" coating is based on PE and is superior to PVC in UV resistance or behaviour in cold temperatures. Main advantage is the environmental aspects including storage, use and recycling. Apart from that "Nature" is comparable to PVC. All mesh panels used to produce our baskets are European sourced from a European supplier IS0 9001, ISO4001, OHSAS 18001 registered and conform to EN10244-2 with a tensile range of 540-770N/mm2, steel grade 0.10% Carbon max, Weld sheer strength minimum 75% of the tensile strength of the wire.

Plastic coated units are most suitable for coastal projects. The Gabions comply with the Department of Transport White Book specification, as detailed in section: 6.26/4, and amended August 1994.

Gabion boxes and Mattresses are made from 76.2mm x 76.2mm nominal (3" x 3") Welded Mesh, divided by diaphragms at 1 metre centres where necessary with wire diameters 3mm, 4mm or 5mm.

3mm diameter wire is used on lower retaining walls, 4mm diameter wire on medium to high retaining walls and the heaviest 5mm wire for the highest structures.
