Welded Mesh Gabions are robust, corrosion-resistant structures crafted from cold-drawn steel wire, precision-welded to form durable cages or mattresses. Available in stainless steel, hot-dip galvanized, or Alu-Zinc coated finishes, they are further protected by polymer coatings for extreme environments like coastal zones or industrial areas.
These gabions excel in erosion control, slope stabilization, and retaining wall systems, adapting seamlessly to riverbanks, highways, and landscaping projects. Classified into box-type cages and mattress units, Welded Mesh Gabions offer modular flexibility, ensuring long-term stability in harsh conditions.
Ideal for eco-friendly engineering, their open design promotes vegetation growth while maintaining structural integrity. Customizable in size and wire thickness, Welded Mesh Gabions deliver unmatched durability for both civil engineering and architectural applications.
Specifications
Wire Diameter Range
Welded Mesh Gabions typically use steel wires with diameters ranging from 2.0 mm to 5.0 mm, balancing flexibility and structural strength for diverse applications.
Mesh Opening Sizes
Standard mesh openings vary between 50 mm × 50 mm and 150 mm × 150 mm, designed to retain fill materials like rocks while allowing water permeability.
Coating Types
To enhance durability, Welded Mesh Gabions are coated with hot-dip galvanizing, Alu-Zinc, or PVC polymers, ensuring corrosion resistance in coastal or polluted environments.
Panel Dimensions
Common panel sizes include 2 m × 1 m × 1 m (L×W×H) for box-shaped gabions and 3 m × 2 m × 0.3 m for mattress-style units, adaptable to project requirements.
Tensile Strength
The wire used in Welded Mesh Gabions achieves tensile strengths of 350–550 MPa, providing robustness for erosion control and retaining walls.
Lacing Wire Specifications
Adjacent panels are secured using 2.2–3.4 mm diameter lacing wires, ensuring seamless assembly and structural integrity.
Fill Material Compatibility
Welded Mesh Gabions accommodate fill materials like natural stone (100–250 mm diameter) or recycled concrete, tailored to load-bearing needs.
Design Lifespan
With proper coatings, Welded Mesh Gabions offer a service life of 25–50 years, ideal for long-term infrastructure and landscaping projects.
Modular Connectivity
Units can be interconnected via helical steel spirals or C-rings, enabling flexible configurations for slopes, riverbanks, or terraces.
Packaging Standards
Gabion panels are bundled in compact stacks (e.g., 50–100 units per pallet) to optimize shipping and on-site handling efficiency.
Application
Welded Mesh Gabions are versatile engineering solutions designed for slope stabilization, erosion control, and infrastructure reinforcement. Their robust, corrosion-resistant design makes them ideal for diverse environments, from coastal zones to industrial landscapes.
Slope Reinforcement
Welded Mesh Gabions stabilize steep slopes along highways, railways, and mountainous terrains, preventing landslides while allowing natural drainage.
Retaining Wall Systems
Used as flexible retaining walls, these gabions adapt to ground movement, providing structural support for roads, bridges, and urban developments.
Riverbank and Coastal Protection
They safeguard river embankments and shorelines against erosion and flooding, combining hydraulic efficiency with ecological compatibility.
Railroad and Road Construction
Welded Mesh Gabions reinforce embankments during rail or road expansions, ensuring stability on unstable or sloping ground.
Geotechnical Aggregation
By aggregating soil and rock fill, they improve load-bearing capacity in areas with weak or variable geotechnical conditions.
Landscaping and Terracing
In architectural projects, Welded Mesh Gabions create durable, aesthetically pleasing terraces or decorative walls.
