Gabion retaining structures are rectangular wire mesh baskets filled with rock at the project site to form flexible, permeable, monolithic structures such as gabion retaining walls for commercial, industrial and road projects. They are also used for erosion control for bank stabilization, channel linings, and gabion weirs. Gabion strength lies in their double twisted hexagonal mesh of steel wire which is reinforced by selvedges of heavier wire running along the edges and by transverse diaphragms. The wire will not unravel even when cut. Assembly is easy, requiring no specialized labor and nearby rock is used for fill.
Gabion retaining structures are available with different levels of protecting coating for durability. With 30% voids, gabion structures offer free drainage providing a higher bank stability when used for river bank protection.
Features:
1.Economic. Just fill the stone into the gabions and seal it.
2.Simple installation. No special technology needed.
3.Weather proof under natural destroy, corrosion resistant.
4.No collapse even under big scope of deforming.
5.Sludge in the stones is good for plant growing. Mixed to form a integrity with the natural environment.
6.Good permeation can prevent the damage by hydrostatic.
7.Less transport freight. It can be folded together for transport and further installation.
Gabion cages applications:
1.Control and guide of water or flood
2.Flood bank or guiding bank
3.Preventing of rock breaking
4.Bridge Protection
5.Water and soil protection
6.Coast protection
7.Seaport engineering
8.Strengthening structure of soil
9.Protection of road
