Gabions wire mesh welded into the form of boxes or cages, square
hole or hexagonal hole structure, Galfan, zinc coating, electro
galvanized and green plastic coated. For seashore fencing, rockfall
protection and flood control.
Gabion boxes are made of wire mesh panels square hole or hexagonal
hole welded into a three dimensional steel structure, with spacing
to hold stones. Schanskorven gabions with different hole shapes
shows various properties and structures. The square hole mesh
gabions are normally Welded Gabions with a rigid shape. The hexagonal opening mesh gabions are made of
double twist wire mesh ensuring the integrity, strength and
uniformity of load distribution and prevents unwinding in case of
rupture of the grid. According to surface treatment,Schanskorven supplies four types of gabion boxes, galvanized mesh
gabions, hot dipped galvanized wire gabions, Galfan gabions or PVC
coated gabion boxes. Galfan coated gabions wire boxes are becoming more popular compared with zinc coating in recent
years. This is a new finish type for gabions using 5% aluminum
mixed alloy steel wire coating to strengthen the properties.
The designs (illustrations below) are divided into sections by means of
diaphragms mounted inside the gabions every meter in length. To
reduce the cost for installation of gabion structures using gabions
box-large size - the so-called gabions Jumbo. They have a length
from 3 to 6 meters at a height of 0.5 m. Standard wire diameter -
2.7 mm, the diameter of the wire edges (to enhance the framework
gabion) - 3.4 mm. Cell depending on the purpose of gabion size 8x10
cm and 6x8 cm size gabion may be arbitrary, but must take into
account the stability of the gabion structures, which will be
greater, the greater the gabions at the bottom.
gabion retaining wall systems are monolithic gravity mass
structures that are ideally suited for erosion control applications
and follow standard design methods for gravity and mse retaining
walls.
note: the following information is provided as a guide to assist
contractors and do-it-your-selfers in the proper construction of
gabion retaining walls. the photos and illustrations shown on this
website are examples of typical multi-course gravity retaining
walls. this content is presented for general information purposes
only and should not be taken as a suggested design or professional
advice for building your wall. we always recommend that you contact
a local professional engineer to evaluate soil for gabion wall
design and based on a certified geo-technical soil report of the
site location.

/ Gabion Mattress made from a hexagonal double twisted wire mesh
with a mesh type 6x8. The wire mesh diameter is 2.2 mm. The wire
mesh diameter is 2.2 mm.
Advantage:
1. Economy:gabions' structures are very simple,just fill the stone
into the gabions then close the gabion ,the structure will be
quickly finished,low maintenance required .
2. Durable:galvanized wire ,it could resist the natural destroy and
corrosion etc,so the life time is longer.
3. Sludge in the stones is good for plant growing. Mixed to form a
integrity with the natural environment.
4. Good permeation can prevent the damage by hydrostatic.
5. Easily construct, no special technology needed.
6. Strong capacity of withstand nature destroy, rust-resistance and
atrocious weather resistance
7. Affording Large scale distortion, but never be defeated.
8. Excellent Penetrability, which can prevent from the whist by
liquid.
9. Saving the transport costs. Which can fold while loading and
transport, then assemble
