gabion basket

Gabion basket: Gabions are baskets manufactured from 6x8 double twisted hexagonal woven steel wire mesh, as per ASTM A975-97 Gabions are filled with stones at the project site to form flexible, permeable, monolithic structures such as retaining walls, channel linings, and weirs for erosion control projects. The steel wire used in the manufacture of the gabion is heavily Galfan (zinc-5% aluminum-mischmetal [Zn-5 Al-MM] alloy) coated soft temper steel. A PVC coating is then applied to provide additional protection for use in polluted, contaminated or aggressive environments: in salt, fresh water, acid soil or wherever the risk of corrosion is present. The PVC coating has a nominal thickness of 0.02 in. (0.50 mm). The gabion is divided into cells by diaphragms positioned at approximately 3 ft (0.9 m) centers. To reinforce the structure, all mesh panel edges are selvedged with a wire having a greater diameter. The wire diameter is from 2mm to 4mm. The opening has 60mmX80mm, 80mmX100mm, 80mmX120mm, 100mmX120mm, 120mmX150mm, 160mmX180mm. Besides, we can supply with the customers' samples or requirements.
