Galvanized Hexagonal Iron Wire Filling Gabion Baskets For River Bank Protection

PVC Coated/Galvanized Stone Filled Gabion Hexagonal Iron Wire Gabion For River Bank Protection
 

PVC Coated/Galvanized Stone Filled Gabion is PVC coatings on zinc-coated metal wire fabric containers with variable sizes that fill rocks to form permanent structures. Green gabion mattress (Fibromat is also called gabion mattress system) is a great soil stabilization system, which can be used for slope erosion control, toe and river bank protection, to maximize the permeability of the structure, while providing reinforcement and grassland construction.

PVC Coated/Galvanized Stone Filled Gabions are used as retaining walls to provide various prevention and protection projects, such as landslide prevention, erosion and erosion protection, as well as hydraulic and coastal protection for various types of rivers, seas and river courses. This gabion mattress system is made of a specially designed composite material, which maximizes its performance through a three-stage vegetation process from non-vegetation to vegetation establishment to vegetation maturation.

• Bridge protection

Gabions offer excellent protection as soil stabilizers around bridges, bridge piers and abutment slopes. Generally, the degree of the slope to be protected shall determine what structure type is best suited for a specific application. Slopes with an angle of 1:1 or steeper usually require standard gabion retaining wall protection. Slopes with an angle of 1:1.5 or less may use a combination of gabion baskets and/or mattresses for slope protection.

• Gabion mattresses used in channel for erosion protection

The cracks between the rocks used to pack gabions are frequently filled with soil to encourage plant growth, which makes gabion retaining walls ideal for projects where beauty is a must, such as controlling soil erosion along waterways that run through residential areas that need to be both long lasting and visually pleasing.

Stone Filled Gabion Box Applications:

●Control and guide rivers and floods

The most serious disaster of rivers is the destruction of river banks by water, which caused flooding, resulting in massive losses of lives and properties and massive soil erosion. The application of the ecological gabion net structure can permanently protect the river bed and bank.

●Channel canal bed

The construction of the channel involves the stability of the slope and river bed. It can effectively and permanently protect the river bank or riverbed, control the flow of water, prevent water loss, and has excellent effects in environmental protection and water quality maintenance.

●Slope protection

The application of ecological grid structure to river bank protection and slope toe protection is a very successful example. It gives full play to the advantages of ecological grid and achieves the ideal effect that other methods cannot achieve.

Stone Filled Gabion Box Advantage:

1. The flexible structure can adapt to the changes of the slope without being destroyed, and has better safety and stability than the rigid structure;

2. Strong anti-scouring ability, can withstand the maximum water flow speed up to 6m/s;

3. The structure is inherently water-permeable, and has strong tolerance to the natural and filtering effects of groundwater. Suspended matter and silt in the water can be deposited in the rockfill, which is beneficial to the growth of natural plants. Restore the original ecological environment.

Stone Filled Gabion Box Installation Process:

1. Ends,diaphragms,front and back panels are placed upright on the bottom section of wire mesh

2. Secure panels by screwing sprial binders through the mesh openings in adjacent panels

3. Stiffeners shall be placed across the corners, at 300mm from the corner. Providing a diagonal bracing,and crimped

4. Box gabion filled with graded stone by hand or with a shovel.

5. After filling,close the lid and secure with sprial binders at the diaphragms,ends,front and back.

6. When stacking tiers of the weled gabion,the lid of the lower tier may serve as base of the upper tier.Secure with sprial binders and add pre-formed stiffeners to exterior cells before filling with graded stones.
