Heavy Galvanized Hexagonal Wire Mesh Gabions for River Bank Protection & Erosion Control

Product Overview

Our Heavy Galvanized Hexagonal Wire Mesh Gabions are engineered as high-strength, flexible, and permeable gravity retaining structures designed specifically for river bank protection, channel linings, and slope erosion control.

Manufactured from premium low-carbon steel wire with a heavy zinc coating (up to 290 g/m²), these double-twisted hexagonal wire mesh baskets offer exceptional tensile strength and superior corrosion resistance. They conform seamlessly to ground settlement while dissipating the destructive energy of flowing water, making them the industry-preferred alternative to rigid concrete retaining walls.

Why Choose Double-Twisted Hexagonal Gabions?

Unlike welded gabions which are ideal for architectural landscaping, double-twisted hexagonal woven wire mesh is the global standard for civil and hydraulic engineering.

• Exceptional Flexibility: The woven hexagonal structure allows the gabion baskets to withstand significant structural deformation and soil settlement without cracking or breaking.

• Non-Raveling Mesh Design: The double-twist weave ensures that even if a wire is accidentally cut or broken, the rest of the mesh will not unravel, maintaining complete structural integrity.

• Superior Drainage (Permeability): Extremely porous design eliminates hydrostatic pressure behind the retaining structure, allowing natural water passage and reducing scour risk.

• Eco-Friendly Restoration: Over time, silt deposits naturally in the rock gaps, encouraging vegetation growth that blends the gabions beautifully into the local riparian environment.

Technical Specifications

We manufacture our gabions in strict accordance with international standards, including ASTM A975 and EN 10223-3.

Standard Dimensions (Custom Sizes Available)

• Length: 1.0m, 1.5m, 2.0m, 3.0m, 4.0m

• Width: 1.0m, 1.5m, 2.0m

• Height: 0.5m, 1.0m

(Note: Baskets thinner than 0.5m are typically classified as Reno Mattresses, perfect for wide-area channel beds and flat erosion protection slopes.)

Primary Applications

• River Bank Stabilization: Protecting shores from high-velocity currents and wave action.

• Bridge Abutment Protection: Anti-scour reinforcement around critical infrastructure.

• Culvert Outlets & Channel Linings: Managing water flow and preventing soil washout.

• Slope & Soil Erosion Control: Retaining steep embankments, mudslide zones, and railway/highway slopes.

Packing & Shipping Details

We understand that shipping efficiency is key to keeping project costs low.

• Packaging Method: Gabions are folded flat and tightly bound into dense, heavy-duty pallets or bundles wrapped with steel strapping. This minimizes shipping volume and maximizes container load capacity.

• Loading Capacity: Approximately 20 to 22 Tons per 20ft GP container (exact weight depends on specific wire gauges and sizes ordered).

• Delivery Time: Prompt production turnaround. Large orders can typically be loaded within 15–21 days from order verification.
