Heavy Duty Galvanized Stone Filled Gabion Cage for Erosion Control

Wire of Gabion Basket: 

All tests on wire must be performed prior to manufacturing the mesh.

1. Tensile strength: the wire used for the manufacture of gabions shall have a tensile strength between 372-470 according to ASTM A856. Wire tolerances are in accordance with ASTM A856.

2. Elongation: Elongation shall not be less than 12%, in accordance with ASTM A370-97. Test must be carried out on a sample at least 12 in. (30 cm) long.

3. Galfan coating: All wire shall comply with the requirements of ASTM A975-97, style 3 coating, Galfan and PVC coated steel wire.

4. Adhesion of Galfan: the adhesion of the Galfan coating to the wire shall be such that, when the wire is wrapped six turns around a mandrel having four times the diameter of the wire, it does not flake or crack when rubbing it with the bare fingers, in accordance with ASTM A856.

Gabion Basket is a kind of cage made from Hexagonal Wire Mesh, Wire Diameter usually from 2.0mm to 4.0mm, and mesh hole from 80*100mm to 110*130mm, the size can be 1M high into a cage, also can be lower than 0.5M into mattres.The common specification of the gabion box is 2.7mm mesh wire diameter, with 3.4mm Selvage Wire, and 80*100mm Mesh hole, The size of the gabion box can customized, according to client's requirements.

Advantages for Galvanized Gabion Cage:

1. Robust & flexible structure: Woven gabion baskets have robust and flexible structure which enable them to prevent unraveling effectively and withstand forced from water and earth masses. In addition, they accommodate different settlements such as unstable soil conditions or areas where the going gets rough. Meanwhile, all their edges are reinforced by heavy wire selvedge for added strength.
2. Excellent permeability:Woven gabion Cage feature excellent permeability of the front face, which allows for great drainage of backfill to dissipate hydrostatic pressure forced upon the gabion wall.
3. High versatility:Woven gabion Cage can be stacked to create a retaining wall with vertical, sloping or stepped front face based on the requirements of your project. Meanwhile, woven gabion baskets can be mounted combining various plants for enhanced strength and more pleasing appearance.
4. Long life span: All of our woven gabion baskets are heavily galvanized, Zn-Al alloy plated with optional PVC coating to resistant against corrosion and maximum their lifespan. Normally, our galfan gabion and PVC gabion can last up to 120 years based on different exposure conditions.
