Product Description
Gabions are baskets made of 8x10 double twisted steel woven
wire mesh, as per BS EN10223-3 . Gabions are filled with stones at the project site to form flexible, permeable, monolithic structures such as retaining walls, channel linings, and weirs for erosion control projects.
The steel wire used in the manufacture of the gabion is heavily Galfan coated soft temper steel. A PVC coating is then applied to provide added protection for use in polluted environments where soils or water are acidic: in salt or fresh water, or wherever the risk of corrosion is present. The PVC coating has a nominal thickness of 0.50 mm. The standard specifications of mesh-wire are shown in Table 2.
In order to reinforce the structure, all mesh panel edges are
selvedged with a wire having a greater diameter .
