Hexagonal Wire Mesh/ Gabion Mesh /Gabion Baskets

item:gabion basket
Material:Low-Carbon Iron Wire
Hole Shape: Hexagonal
gabion size: 2.0x1.0x1.0m

GABIONS consist of rectangular units, fabricated from a double-twisted hexagonal mesh. Filled with stones, gabions become large, flexible and permeable elements from which a broad range of structures may be built. Gabions and mattresses are widely used for hydraulic and geo- technical control such as retaining walls, riverbank protections, weirs, channel linings etc.

GABIONS are divided into cells with diaphragms (usually spaced at 1 meter or 3’ intervals), whose function is to reinforce the structure. The mesh (except for the diaphragms) is reinforced on all edges with wires of a larger diameter to strengthen the gabions and facilitate the assembly and installation.

Packing:

For easy handling and shipping, the gabions are supplied folded flat. A color stripe applied on the side of each folded gabion identifies the size.

Loading:

Usually, gabions will be loaded into 40ft containers to save cost.
