Gabion Net

Low carbon steel wire: With high corrosion resistance, high strength and good ductility, it is a commonly used material for gabions.

Galvanized steel wire: By galvanizing the surface of low carbon steel wire, the corrosion resistance of the steel wire can be improved. Depending on the amount of galvanizing, there are different anti-corrosion effects, such as electro-galvanizing, hot-dip galvanizing, etc.

Zinc-aluminum alloy steel wire: such as zinc-5% aluminum-mixed rare earth alloy steel wire, zinc-10% aluminum mixed rare earth alloy steel wire, which has excellent anti-corrosion performance and long service life.

Stainless steel alloy steel wire: It is passive in the atmosphere and corrosive media such as acids, alkalis, and salts, and is corrosion-resistant without rusting. Its service life is several times that of ordinary galvanized steel wire gabions.

Plastic-coated steel wire: Coating the surface of the steel wire with a protective layer of PVC and other plastics not only enhances the anti-corrosion performance, but also allows the gabion mesh to blend in with the surrounding environment by choosing different colors.

Structural form: mainly hexagonal mesh and square mesh. Common product forms include gabion cages, gabion bags, gabion mats, etc.

Wire diameter: The diameter of the mesh wire is generally between 2.0mm-4.0mm, the edge wire is usually 0.5mm-1.0mm thicker than the mesh wire, and the binding wire is generally smaller than the mesh wire, with a common value of 2.2mm.

Aperture: There are various specifications such as 60×80mm, 80×100mm, 100×120mm, 120×150mm, etc.

Size: The length of gabion cages is generally 1m-6m, the width is 0.5m-2m, and the height is 0.15m-2m.

Good flexibility: It can adapt to changes in slope and settlement deformation of the foundation, and can withstand ±15cm settlement deformation of the foundation. It has better safety and stability than rigid structures.

Strong anti-scouring ability: It can withstand water flow speeds up to 6m/s, and can effectively resist the erosion of river banks and river beds by water flow.

Good water permeability: It is conducive to the natural function and filtration of groundwater. Suspended objects and silt in the water can be deposited in the stone filling joints, reducing the accumulation of water pressure and preventing structural damage.

Strong durability: The use of highly corrosion-resistant materials and good surface treatment technology ensures a long service life. For example, the service life of zinc-aluminum alloy gabion nets can reach 30 to 60 years.

Environmental protection and ecology: The stone-filled gaps in the gabion net are conducive to soil deposition and the rooting and germination of plant seeds, which can achieve the organic unity of engineering protection and ecological greening.

Excellent economy: construction is simple, no special technology or complex equipment is required, just put the stones into the cage and seal it, which can reduce construction costs and labor costs

Application areas

Water conservancy projects: used for river management, bank protection, dam reinforcement, channel lining, etc., to prevent water erosion and soil loss, and protect river beds and river banks.
Traffic engineering: In highway and railway construction, it is used for slope protection, roadbed reinforcement, bridge slope protection, etc. to improve the stability and safety of roads and bridges.

Mining engineering: It can be used in the construction of tailings dams in mines and protection of waste residue slopes to prevent the loss and collapse of tailings and waste residues and reduce environmental pollution.

Landscape engineering: It can be used to build flower beds, flower ponds, landscape walls, ecological revetments, etc., providing a beautiful, natural and practical material for landscape design.

Structure and material advantages

High strength and durability: Made of low-carbon steel wire, galvanized steel wire, zinc-aluminum alloy steel wire and other high-quality materials, braided or welded, it has high tensile strength and can withstand external impacts. The surface treatment such as galvanizing and plastic coating greatly improves the corrosion resistance. The service life can reach 30-60 years and it can adapt to various harsh environments.

Flexible structural design: The mesh is mostly hexagonal or square, with a certain degree of elasticity, and can be flexibly adjusted with terrain settlement and slope deformation. It can absorb dynamic load energy such as earthquakes and water flows, and avoid the problem that rigid structures are easy to break.

Outstanding engineering performance

Excellent water permeability: The mesh structure allows water to pass freely, reducing water pressure accumulation and avoiding structural damage caused by poor drainage. It is also conducive to groundwater circulation and natural soil ventilation.

The construction is convenient and efficient: no complex equipment or high-tech work is required, just put the cages, mesh mats, etc. in place and then fill them with stones. The construction period is short, the cost is low, and subsequent maintenance is simple.

Ecological and environmentally friendly properties

Strong ecological compatibility: The gaps between the filled natural stones provide space for plant growth, allowing for natural vegetation, realizing the combination of engineering protection and ecological restoration, and reducing environmental intervention.

The materials are environmentally friendly and sustainable: mainly using natural stone and recyclable metal wire, without chemical pollution, in line with the concept of green engineering.

These characteristics allow gabion nets to be widely used in water conservancy, slope protection, transportation, landscape and other fields, which not only ensures the safety and stability of the project, but also takes into account ecological harmony.

water conservancy project

River management: used for river bank protection and river bed paving to resist water erosion, prevent river bank collapse and soil erosion, without affecting the natural ecological cycle of the river.

Dam reinforcement: Reinforce the slope of the dam, enhance the impact resistance of the dam, cope with natural disasters such as floods, and protect the safety of the dam.

Channel construction: As a channel lining material, it can reduce the erosion of channels by water flow and improve the water delivery efficiency and service life of channels.
traffic engineering

Highway/railway slope protection: Lay gabion nets on the slopes on both sides of highways and railways to prevent slope landslides and rockfalls and ensure road safety.

Bridge pier protection: Set up gabion nets around the bridge piers to resist the impact of water flow, ships, etc. on the bridge piers and protect the structural stability of the bridge piers.

Subgrade reinforcement: used to reinforce subgrade slopes to enhance the bearing capacity of the subgrade and reduce subgrade settlement and deformation.

Slope and geological disaster protection

Landslide prevention and control: Lay gabion nets on mountain slopes prone to landslides to fix the soil and rocks on the surface of the mountain to prevent landslides.

Debris flow control: Set up gabion net barriers in areas prone to debris flow to block and divert debris flow and reduce damage to surrounding facilities.

Mine regreening: used for slope protection and ecological restoration after mining, providing a foundation for vegetation growth and improving the ecological environment of the mine.

Landscape and Municipal Engineering

Landscaping: Use gabion nets to make landscape walls, flower beds, rockeries, etc., combined with stones and vegetation to create a natural and rustic landscape effect, which is common in parks, communities and other places.

Municipal protection: Use gabion nets to protect banks on urban rivers and lakes, taking into account both protective functions and urban landscape beautification, and improve the quality of the urban environment.

Fence construction: As a new type of fence material, gabion mesh is filled with stones to form a transparent and strong fence, which is both safe and beautiful.

Other areas

Port wharf: used for wharf shore wall protection, resisting the impact of waves and tides, and protecting the wharf structure.

Agricultural water conservancy: used in farmland irrigation channels, reservoirs and other facilities to prevent leakage and erosion and ensure agricultural water demand
