Gabion mesh is an ecological grid layout. Originating from the bamboo cages in China, which date back over 2,000 years, this modern ecological grid layout, incorporating new technology, skills, and materials, has successfully been applied in hydraulic engineering, road, railway projects, and maintenance works for embankments. It has effectively integrated engineering layout with ecological environment. Compared to some traditional rigid layouts, it possesses its own advantages, thus becoming the layout type for maintaining riverbeds, managing landslides, preventing mud and rock flows, and overall environmental conservation within its scope. The English term for gabion mesh is "gabion."
The gabion mesh is made 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, varying 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 is typically larger 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 on the twisted wire section are not damaged.
Product Usage Analysis:
This layout is suitable for slope support, foundation pit support, rock face meshing and shotcreting on mountains, slope vegetation (beautification), and rail and highway barrier nets. It can also be made into boxes and mats, used for erosion prevention and maintenance of rivers, embankments, and sea dikes, as well as for net boxes used in reservoir and river diversion.
● Controlling and guiding rivers and floods *The severe disasters of rivers are the erosion of the riverbanks, causing numerous floods that result in significant losses of life, property, and soil erosion. Therefore, the use of Geocell mesh layouts as a solution to address these issues becomes crucial, as it ensures the **permanent maintenance** of riverbeds and riverbanks.
Ecological River Treatment with Stone笼Mesh
The approach to constructing involves ensuring the stability of slopes and river channels. Therefore, the use of ecological netting layouts, a primary method chosen for many natural river transformations and artificial channel excavations over the past century, is employed. It provides effective **protection** for riverbanks or riverbeds, and it also controls water flow and prevents water loss, especially in environmental protection and maintaining water quality, where it has significant **efficacy**.
● gabion mesh slope protection/riverbank protection
The ecological mesh layout is a successful example in riverbank protection and slope foot protection, fully utilizing the strengths of the ecological mesh to achieve ambitions that other methods cannot.
