1,takea gabion welded from a pallet and cut off the securing brace.Lift the accesories and pull the gabion until fulllength is reached. close the base with the helical and fold the ends 90 inwards.now the spiral won't detach when we move and turn the gabion .this will also prevent sharp end and avoild injuries.this can be done with standard pliers.now turn over the gabion.
2,the
Gabions should be connected to form a monolithic structure. Prefabricated joining pins are provided for each Gabion. Simply grasp the 2 spirals then push them into each other. Place the joining pin into the section and push it downwards. Care must be taken that the head of the joining pin faces inwards. This must be done for security and will prevent vandalism. The joining must be done at both sides.
3,As to prevent heavy deformation caused by filling the Gabions, bracing ties are included in each Gabion. Depending upon the height of the gabion, they are placed at 1/3 + 2/3 or 1/2 of the height.Now start filling the first part of the Gabion.Bracing ties are placed 4 meshes from the sides and around the weld position. If not, the weld will break or the bracing tie will move. Repeat this principle until the
Gabionsare fully filled.
4,After filling the Gabion, the lid will be closed. Use the included spirals and attach the lid at every edge including the diaphragm
panel. Also twist the ends inwards for safety.When positioning
Gabions, the horizontal connections must be done.This is usually carried out with the help of clips or lacing wire.
Remarks
Join the empty Gabion together beforehand. Then stretch or push the
Gabions to reach the desired length. The play in the spirals will allow for a perfect fit. Curves can also be made when using the play.
To maximize the output assembly, joining, filling, bracing and finishing the Gabion must be considered as a production line. The standard team is 3 workers and a crane with driver.
If the inclination is bigger than 10m, extra bracing must be used.
If the
Gabion height is bigger than 1m, an extra row of bracing ties should be used.
Next to your own safety guidelines, we advise you to always carry security glasses,gloves and shoes.
Output can be maximized by using
Gabions with long length as this will result in less conections.
