River Bank Protection Twisted Wire Gabion Baskets 1m X 1m X 1m Galvanized

Used For River Bank Protection Galvanized Gabion Basket For Sale Kenya

Gabion basket is an ecological grid structure. The stone cage net is mechanically woven from low-carbon steel wire with high corrosion resistance, high strength and ductility or PVC-coated steel wire. The box-shaped structure made by the net is the stone cage. The diameter of the low carbon steel wire used varies according to engineering design requirements. Generally between 2.0-4.0mm, the tensile strength of the steel wire is not less than 38kg/m2, and the metal coating weight is generally higher than 245g/m2. The diameter of the edge wire of the gabion mesh is generally larger than the diameter of the wire. The length of the twisted part of the double wire shall not be less than 50mm. To ensure that the metal coating and PVC coating of the twisted part of the steel wire are not damaged.

Application of River Bank Protection Gabion:

• River Bank Protection Gabion are strong and reliable offering engineers many benefits for managing earth and water. Typically gabion baskets are preferred on large scale civil, mining, industrial, road and rail projects.
• Gabion Basket Retaining Wall Design can be widely used for erosion protection, roadway and bridge protection, gravity retaining wall, slope paving ,control and guide of water or flood and riverbank controlling.​​

Advantages of gabion basket structure:

1. The flexible structure can adapt to the changes of the slope without being destroyed, and has better safety and stability than the rigid structure;

2. Strong anti-scouring ability, can withstand the maximum water flow speed up to 6m/s;

3. The structure is inherently water-permeable, and has strong tolerance to the natural and filtering effects of groundwater. Suspended matter and silt in the water can be deposited in the rockfill, which is beneficial to the growth of natural plants. Restore the original ecological environment.

Gabion Installation Process:

1. Ends,diaphragms,front and back panels are placed upright on the bottom section of wire mesh

2. Secure panels by screwing sprial binders through the mesh openings in adjacent panels

3. Stiffeners shall be placed across the corners, at 300mm from the corner. Providing a diagonal bracing,and crimped

4. Box gabion filled with graded stone by hand or with a shovel.

5. After filling,close the lid and secure with sprial binders at the diaphragms,ends,front and back.

6. When stacking tiers of the weled gabion,the lid of the lower tier may serve as base of the upper tier.Secure with sprial binders and add pre-formed stiffeners to exterior cells before filling with graded stones.
