The Gabion mats is a structure made of hexagonal double twisted wire mesh. Gabion
mats are filled with stones at the project site to form flexible
and permeable, monolithic structures such as river bank protection
and channel linings for erosion control. The steel wire used to
manufacture the mattress is heavily zinc-coated soft temper steel.
The standard combinations of mesh is shown in Table. In order to
reinforce the structure, all mesh panel edges are selvedge with a
wire having a greater diameter. es are divided into uniformly
partitioned cells by internal diaphragms.
Gabion Mats are used for permanent erosion control in channels,
streambank, spillways and stable slopes from surficial erosion. The
stone confinement within the units allows for higher shear stress
resistance than the riprap.
The base is divided into compartments and filled with stones at the
project site. With lids closed, gabion mats form flexible,
permeable, monolithic structures. The 100 feet (30m) long units
make its installation fast and economical.
Soil bioengineering techniques can be used to promote vegetation in
the gabion mats to provide enhanced shear resistance.
Advantages of gabion mats:
- Gabion mat strength lies in their double twisted hexagonal mesh of
steel wire which is reinforced by selvedges of heavier wire running
along the edges.
- The base section is divided into compartments to restrict the
movement of stone and strengthen the structure.
- The lid is supplied as a separate panel.
- The wire will not unravel even when cut.
- Assembly is easy, requiring no specialized labor and nearby rock is
used for fill.
- Free drainage and 30-35% voids allow vegetation to grow.

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
