Gabion Box Stone Galvanized Hexagonal Gabion Netting Basket for River Protection

Gabions are constructed from high-strength, corrosion-resistant, and ductile low-carbon steel wire or PVC-coated wire, woven mechanically into a durable mesh. This mesh forms the box-shaped structure known as a gabion box. In compliance with ASTM and EN standards, the diameter of the low-carbon steel wire typically ranges from 2.0 to 4.0 mm, depending on specific project requirements. Gabion wire features a minimum tensile strength of 38 kg/m², while the metal coating weight usually exceeds 245 g/m². Edge wires are generally thicker than the mesh wires, and the twisted double wire sections are designed with a minimum length of 50 mm to ensure protection of both metal and PVC coatings.

The flexible design of gabion structures allows them to conform to slope variations without damage, providing superior stability and safety compared to rigid structures. Gabions offer excellent anti-scouring performance, capable of withstanding water velocities up to 6 m/s. Their permeable structure enables natural groundwater filtration and sediment deposition, promoting the settlement of suspended particles and silt within the stone fill. This environment supports the growth of vegetation and gradually restores the natural ecosystem, making gabions an eco-friendly solution for erosion control, slope stabilization, and environmental rehabilitation.

Gabions are wire mesh boxes commonly used in combination with geotextiles to reduce water velocity, prevent soil erosion, and retain soil particles. Flat gabions are widely applied in civil engineering projects, particularly in the construction of roadway drainage systems.

Gabion mattresses, which are larger in size, are ideal for covering extensive areas of riverbeds to prevent erosion. This method provides a highly effective solution for both drainage management and environmentally sustainable practices, making it a unique approach to erosion control and ecological protection.

• Flexibility 

Mattress gabions are typically manufactured from heavy-duty galvanized or PVC-coated wire to ensure long-lasting corrosion protection. Our gabions are produced using high-quality galvanization, with an optional 0.5 mm PVC coating, specifically designed for hexagonal woven wire mesh structures, providing excellent adaptability to various terrain conditions.

• Strength

Gabions offer superior structural strength, which includes:

• High mesh wire breaking strength

• Exceptional mesh wire tensile strength

• Strong pull-apart resistance

• Resistance to chemical, UV, and weather-related damage, ensuring long-term corrosion protection

• Durability 

The rigid modular design of our gabions provides enhanced structural stability and durability. All materials are quality-assured, comply with China’s national standards, and are suitable for a wide range of civil engineering and environmental applications.
