Gabion box is galvanized double twisted hexagonal
woven mesh with a rectangular box shape. When filled with rock or stone, it can form flexible, permeable, monolithic structure such as
gabion retaining wall for commercial, industrial and road project. It's also enviroment friendly and cost effective when compared to other options. The strength comes from a double twisted
hexagonal mesh of
steel wire which is reinforced by selvedge of heavier gauge wire and by transverse internal diaphragm at 1m centre. In the event of accidental breakage of one or more of the
wires, the double
twisted wire configuration will ensure that the
mesh will not unravel.
Features:
1. Higher resistance to natural forces due to better tensile strength.
2. Easy of repair to any damaged
cages with minimal expense.
3. Cost effective and environmentally friendly alternative to concrete system.
4. Simple and speedy installation, using natural or quarried stones obtained locally.
5. The use of
box gabion as retaining structure provides a low cost alternative to concrete or masonry retaining wall.
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
