Description
Gabions are baskets
manufactured from 8x*0 double twisted hexagonal woven steel wire
mesh, as per ASTM A*****7 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.*2 in. (0.*0 mm). The Gabion is divided into
cells by diaphragms positioned at approximately 3 ft (0.9m)
centers. To reinforce the structure, all mesh panel edges are
selvedged with a wire having a greater diameter. Gabions shall be
manufactured and shipped with all components mechanically connected
at the production facility.
Wire
All tests on wire must be
performed prior to manufacturing the mesh. All wire should comply
with ASTM A*****7, style 3 coating, Galfan and PVC coated steel
wire. Wire used for the manufacture of Gabions and the lacing wire,
shall have a maximum tensile strength of *5 **0 psi (**5 MPa) as
per ASTM A*****3, soft temper steel.
Features
· Economic.
· Just
fill the stone into the Gabions and seal it.
· Simple
installation.
· No
special technology needed.Weather proof under natural destroy,
corrosion resistant.
· No
collapse even under big scope of deforming.
· Sludge
in the stones is good for plant growing.
· Mixed
to form a integrity with the natural environment.Good permeation
can prevent the damage by hydrostatic.
· Less
transport freight. It can be folded together for transport and
further installation.
