Galvanized Iron Wire Mesh PVC Coated Gabion Box Machine Retaining Walls In South Africa

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.

Gabion mattresses 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.

Introduction to the use of gabion baskets:

The structure can be used for side slope support, foundation pit support, mountain rock surface hanging net shotcrete, side slope vegetation (greening), railway highway isolation fence, it can also be made into box cages, net pads, used in rivers, rivers, Erosion protection of dams and seawalls, as well as cages for the closure of reservoirs and rivers.

Gabion Basket Advantages:

1). Flexible structure to adapt to changes in the slope without being destroyed, better than the rigid structure with the security and stability;

2). Anti-erosion ability, able to withstand the maximum flow rate of up to 6m / s .

3). This structure has essentially permeability, groundwater and the filtering effect of the natural role of a strong inclusive, suspended matter and silt in the water to move in to fill the crevice in precipitation, which is conducive to the growth of natural plants, and gradually restore the original ecological environment.

Gabion Cage 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.
