welded mesh gabion advantages:
Gabions made of welded wire fabrics offer weak strength compared with woven wire gabions while Descriptions: Welded mesh gabions are manufactured from cold drawn steel wire and strictly conform to BS1052:1986 for tensile strength. It is then electrically welded together and Hot Dip Galvanised or Alu-Zinc oated to BS443/EN10244-2, ensuring a longer life. The meshes can then be organic polymer coated to safeguard against corrosion and other weather-ing effects, especially wanhai the gabions are to be used in salty and highly polluted envi-ronments.
Our Alu-Zinc* mesh is coated using the Galfan process.Lacing wire shal be provided separately for site assembly. Lacing Spirals (see photos below), All-Zinc and stainless steel C rings are also available at extra cost if required.Welded gabions are also available in Cylindrical and Sac form with diameters of 0.65m, 0.95m and in lengths of 2.0m and 3.0m.All our Organic Polymer powder coated Welded mesh gabions are designed to be equivalent to the requirements of the DETR, HA MCW, Volume 1 Spcification of Highway Works, Clause 626 they have similar flexibility


Applications:   Welded mesh Gabions are used in many situations including the stabilization of earth movement and erosion, river control, reservoirs, canal refurbishment, landscaping and retaining walls. They can be manufactured in welded mesh or woven wire Welded mesh gabions are faster to erect and do not need tensioning. This allows them to keep their shape, to be free from bulges and depressions and fit easily against the wall. It is possible to cut holes in them if needed to pass pipes etc through and they can be machine filled. Gabion boxes and Mattresses ae made from 76.2mm x 76.2mm nominal (3" x 3") Welded Mesh, divided by diaphragms at 1 metre centres where necessary with wire diameters 3mm, 4mm or 5mm. 3mm diameter wire is used on lower retaining walls, 4mm diameter wire on medium to high retaining walls and the heaviest 5mm wire for the highest structures. Below are the standard sizes we produce,we also can produce as your exact requirements.
