Gabion mesh is an ecological lattice layout. Originating from the bamboo baskets of over 2,000 years ago in China, this new-style ecological lattice layout, with its innovative technology, skills, and materials, has successfully been applied in hydraulic engineering, road, railway projects, and embankment maintenance. It effectively integrates engineering layout with ecological environment. Compared to some traditional rigid layouts, it has its own advantages, and thus has become a layout type for comprehensive environmental maintenance, including riverbed maintenance, slope management, prevention of mud and stone flows, and rockfall avoidance. The English term for gabion mesh is "gabion."
The Gabion mesh is manufactured from high-corrosion resistant, high-tensile, and ductile low-carbon steel wire, possibly coated with PVC, and woven by machinery. The diameter of the low-carbon steel wire used complies with ASTM A 975 and EN10223 standards and varies according to engineering design requirements, typically ranging from 2.0 to 4.0 mm. The tensile strength of the wire is not less than 38 kg/m², and the metal coating weight is usually above 245 g/m². The diameter of the edge line of the gabion mesh panels is usually greater than the wire diameter. The length of the double twisted section must not be less than 50 mm to ensure that the metal and PVC coatings of the twisted wire section are not damaged.
Product Usage Analysis:
This layout is suitable for slope support, foundation pit support, rock face mesh spraying on mountains, slope vegetation (aesthetic), and railway and expressway barrier nets. It can also be made into boxes and pads, used for erosion control and maintenance of rivers, embankments, and sea dikes, as well as for net boxes used in reservoir and river damming.
● Controlling and Guiding Rivers and Floods - The severe disaster of rivers is the erosion that damages riverbanks, causing numerous floods, resulting in significant losses of life, property, and soil erosion. Therefore, the use of Geocell mesh layouts as a solution for addressing these issues has become one, as it enables the **sustainable maintenance** of riverbeds and riverbanks.
● Eco-friendly stone笼net river treatment
Approaches to construction involve the stability of slopes and riverbeds. Therefore, the use of ecological mesh layouts, which have been the primary method for transforming many natural rivers and excavating artificial channels over the past century, is selected. It provides effective **protection** for riverbanks or riverbeds, and it also has the function of controlling water flow and preventing water loss, particularly in environmental protection and maintaining water quality, where it achieves **remarkable** effects.
● Gabion mesh slope protection and bank protection
The layout of ecological grid fabric has been a successful model in riverbank protection and slope foot protection, fully utilizing the advantages of the ecological grid fabric to achieve ambitions that other methods cannot accomplish.
