Woven gabion is a mesh structure made of metal wire, which is usually used in civil engineering projects such as water conservancy projects, ecological restoration, slope protection, retaining walls, revetments, and slope protection. The name of the gabion comes from its appearance. It is usually cage-shaped and can hold and fix heavy objects such as stone and gravel. Woven gabion has a simple structure, convenient construction and good flexibility, so it has been widely used in engineering applications.
1.Structure and material
Woven gabion is mainly formed by weaving metal wire to form a mesh structure. Common materials are:
Galvanized steel wire: Hot-dip galvanized or electro-galvanized steel wire can effectively resist oxidation and corrosion.
PVC coated steel wire: On the basis of galvanized steel wire, a layer of PVC material is coated to further enhance corrosion resistance, suitable for humid or water flow environments.
Stainless steel wire: Suitable for more demanding environments, such as highly corrosive areas.
The size of the mesh is usually designed according to the specific engineering requirements, but common mesh sizes include 5x10cm, 10x10cm, 15x15cm, etc.
2.Basic form
Woven gabion mesh is usually a "box-shaped" structure, but it can also be round or other forms. Common structural forms are:
Single-layer gabion: used to build smaller-scale stone walls, slope protection, etc.
Double-layer gabion: composed of two layers of inner and outer mesh cages, which increases stability and is suitable for structures with higher requirements, such as retaining walls.
Multi-layer gabion: a multi-layer stacked structure, suitable for situations that need to withstand greater pressure and load.
The finished gabion mesh has good drainage, strength and flexibility, and is suitable for various engineering projects, especially in the fields of water conservancy, ecological restoration and slope protection.
