Gabion mesh refers to box-like mesh cages made of heavy-duty hexagonal wire mesh, hence also known as "stone笼 mesh or stone笼 box." In Europe, it is also called gabion mesh or gabion stone mesh box. Gabion boxes, when filled with stones at construction sites, form flexible, permeable, and integral structures used in erosion control projects such as retaining walls, riverbank lining, and embankments.
Galvanized wire mesh is divided into several cells by 1-meter spacing partitions (double twisted hexagonal metal mesh sheets). To enhance the strength of the gabion mesh box structure, all face mesh board edges are made with thicker steel wire. It is used for controlling and guiding river and flood water, damming and channeling, rockslide protection, preventing soil and water loss, bridge protection, stabilizing soil structures, coastal defense projects, port engineering, retaining walls, and road protection.
Galvanized wire mesh features:
(1) Economy. Simply place the stones into the cage and seal the opening.
(2) Easy installation, no special skills required.
(3) Strong resistance to natural damage, corrosion, and adverse weather conditions.
(4) Can withstand a wide range of deformation without collapsing.
(5) The silt between the stones in the cage promotes plant growth and can seamlessly blend with the surrounding natural environment.
(6) Excellent permeability, preventing damage caused by hydrostatic pressure.
(7) Save on transportation costs. It can be folded for transport and assembled on-site.
The primary uses of Gabion mesh:
(1) River and flood control and guidance
(2) Floodgates and Diversion Weirs
(3) Rockfall Protection
(4) Prevent水土流失
(5) Bridge Protection
(6) Soil Stabilization Structure
(7) Coastal Defense Engineering
(8) Port Engineering
(9) Retaining Wall
Road Protection
The mesh of the gabion can also be made into triangular or trapezoidal shapes. Such gabion walls, when stacked, have an inclined plane on a single level.
Galvanized wire mesh, often used in hydraulic engineering for retaining walls, is a type of retaining wall constructed by stacking gabion boxes ranging from 0.5 to 1.0 meters. Gabion box retaining walls are primarily used on steep slopes to control mud and rock flows, prevent landslides, and protect the subgrades of roads and railways.
The reason for using gabion baskets is that gabionThe cages possess unique ecological functions. Simply sprinkling a bit of soil on the surface of the protective shell allows for greening. Due to the gaps between the stones, which are filled with soil, it is conducive to the development of plant root systems, creating a favorable ecological environment. Even without sprinkling soil, over time, the gaps between the stones will settle with soil, leading to the growth of herbaceous plants, forming a natural ecological environment.
