Anti-flood Bank Mesh-Gabions /gabion box
Gabions /Gabion box
Gabion box is a kind of ecological grid structure. Gabion mesh is woven with galvanized low carbon steel wire or pvc coated wire by woven machine. Box produced with gabion mesh is Gabions. The galvanized low carbon steel wire used to weave gabion mesh has high anti-corrosive ability, high strength and good malleability.
Material and standard:
For standard of ASTM and EN, wire diameter is different according to the demands of engineering design. Generally, wire diameter is between 2.0-4.0mm. Tensile strength is not less than 30kg/m2.Weight of coated metal film is more than 245g/m2. For the gabion mesh pieces, the margin wire must be thicker than the mesh wire. The double-twisted wire must be not shorter than 5 mm, which can assure the metal film or pvc film of the stranded double wires not to be damaged.
Specification:
(1) Hole size: 60×80mm,80×100mm,80×120mm,100×120mm,120×150mm.
(2) Wire diameter:There are three kinds of wire that are used to produce gabion mesh.
Mesh wire: 2-4mm
Margin wire: 0.5-1mm thicker than mesh wire
Banding wire: usual 2.2 mm
(3) Tensile strength: not less than 38kg/m2 (380N/mm)
(4) Treatment of the surface:
Electric galvanized: The highest amount of zinc coated is 10g/m2. The anti-corrosive
ability is poor.
Hot-dipped galvanized: The highest amount of zinc coated is 300g/m2. The anti-corrosive
ability is relatively strong.
Galfan ( zinc-aluminium alloy): There are tow kinds of percentage of the two metal
elements. They are zinc-5% aluminium mixture and zinc-10%
aluminium mixture. The anti-corrosive ability is super strong.
PVC coated: The coated thickness is generally 1.0 mm. For example, diameter is
changed to 3.7 mm after coating when the wire diameter is 2.7 mm. The
anti-corrosive ability is strong.
(5) Specification of the box: 4×1×1, 2×1×1 and so on.
(6) Partition wall: One partition wall must be add to the gabion mesh every 1 meter in the
length direction. This is the usual design and that can be changed according
to customer’s order.
Applications:
Gabions can be used to support side slope, foundation ditch, swing met for mountain body and stone surface, cultivate plant on the side slope. It also can be made to produce separation fence for railway and high way. It also can be made into cage and net pad that are used to prevent river , dam, seaside from washing and dam reservoir and river.
(1) To control and guide river and flood:
The most serious disaster of the river is flow’s washing. That can destroy dam and bring
flood. When flood occur, life and property will suffer great loss. Water and soil loss is very
great either. Gabions, which is a kind of ecological grid structure, is one of the best way to
solve the problem. It can protect the band perpetually.
(2) river bed for channels
Establishing channel must keep the side slope and river bed stable. The adoption of
gabions is a main method to reform the natural river and dig channels. Gabion box can
protect the band and bed efficiently and permanently. It can also control the flow rate and
prevent water and soil loss. Gabion has very excellent function to protect circumstance and
water quality.
(3) To protect bank and slope
As a kind of ecological grid structure, gabions’ adoption to protect river bank and slope is
very successful. Gabions has very obvious advantages of ecological grid structures. It can
reach the idle effect that other method can not reach.
