Gabion Mesh for River Engineering|Flood Control & Bank Protection Solution

        Gabion meshes are widely used in riverbank protection and embankment reinforcement. They combine structural support, drainage, and ecological restoration. They consist of hexagonal mesh or gabion boxes filled with well-graded hard rock to form flexible revetment units. They maintain overall stability under erosion and ground deformation, while also providing a microenvironment for vegetation recovery.

        In engineering design, gabion mesh can be used as retaining walls or slope protection. Common practices involve installing gabions with mesh mats or tiered placement, with a slope ratio of 1:1.5 to 1:3. River sections with high flow rates require additional foot guards or extended mesh mats to mitigate erosion. Gradual retaining walls and a backward-leaning arrangement can ensure safety while saving materials and improving the landscape.

        Durability is directly determined by materials and construction. High-quality woven gabion mesh often utilize hot-dip galvanized or plastic-coated low-carbon steel wire, with reinforcements at key hinge points to enhance tensile and shear resistance. Parameters such as coating weight, wire diameter, and twist length should be determined according to specifications and site conditions to prevent coating damage and premature corrosion.

        Material and model selection recommendations: Consider the riverbed scour depth, peak flow velocity, soil properties, and coastal environment to select the appropriate wire diameter, coating type, and reinforcement scheme. For projects requiring high corrosion resistance, higher-grade aluminum-zinc alloy or stainless steel can be used to extend service life. Reasonable engineering design can facilitate repairs after floods and reduce costs.
