● Overview
Zinc-Aluminum Alloy Gabion Mesh is a high-performance gabion net woven from zinc-aluminum alloy-coated steel wires. Compared with traditional hot-dip galvanized gabion mesh, this Aluminum-Zinc Gabion Mesh delivers superior corrosion resistance, extended service life and high tensile strength, making it ideal for demanding projects such as riverbank reinforcement, coastal defense and slope stabilization.
● Features
1. Superior corrosion resistance - zinc-aluminum alloy coating resists acid, alkaline and salt-spray environments better than conventional galvanized layers; ideal for coastal and marine projects.
2. Long service life - enhanced protection reduces maintenance and replacement frequency, lowering total lifecycle cost.
3. High mechanical strength - retains the tensile and pressure capacity of the base metal wire for durable structural performance.
4. Weather-resilient - stable performance across wide temperature ranges and harsh climates.
5. Environmentally considerate - alloy coating minimizes environmental impact compared with some heavy-metal alternatives.
6. Versatile forms - available as hexagonal woven gabions, welded gabion panels and Renault pads for varied applications.

● Applications
1. River bank protection / riverbank reinforcement - erosion control, bank armoring and riverbed protection.
2. Coastal defense - seawalls, shoreline protection and wave-impact mitigation using Aluminum Zinc Gabion Mesh.
3. Slope stabilization - highway and railway slope protection against landslides and rockfall.
4. Retaining structures - flexible retaining walls and terracing for infrastructure projects.
5. Landscape engineering - decorative and functional gabion features in parks and urban design.
6. Water conservancy & damworks - spillway protection and foundation reinforcement.
● Installation & Maintenance
Installation:
1. Prepare level foundation and drainage.
2. Assemble gabion boxes/panels on site and connect panels at edges with wire or fasteners.
3. Place quality stone fill progressively, compacting to avoid voids.
4. Tie and secure partition diaphragms and lids; check alignment and stability.
Maintenance:
1. In coastal / high-moisture areas, inspect tie points and exposed edges periodically for mechanical damage and localized coating wear.
2. Remove vegetation growth that may trap moisture against the mesh.
3. Minor damaged sections should be repaired promptly using matching Zinc Aluminum Alloy Wire Gabion patching wire to prevent accelerated corrosion.
4. Regular inspection intervals (annual or biannual) recommended for high-salinity sites.
● Manufacturing Process
Raw material selection (wire rod) → Cold drawing / wire diameter control → Zinc-Aluminum alloy coating (coating application to achieve 10% Aluminum-Zinc type protection where specified) → Machine weaving or welding → Cutting, assembly & tying → Product inspection & testing → Packaging & dispatch.
The process ensures consistent mechanical properties and coating adhesion for long life in demanding environments.
● Conclusion
Zinc-Aluminum Alloy Gabion Mesh (including 10% Zinc-Aluminum Gabion Mesh options) combines high corrosion resistance, long service life and strong mechanical performance to meet wide-ranging civil and marine engineering needs. For projects requiring reduced maintenance and durable riverbank, slope or coastal protection, this Zinc Coated Aluminium Alloy Gabion Box solution offers cost-effective, reliable reinforcement.
● FAQ
Q1: What is the difference between Zinc-Aluminum Alloy Gabion Mesh and hot-dip galvanized gabion mesh?
A1: Zinc-Aluminum coating (often specified as 10% Aluminum-Zinc) provides superior corrosion resistance compared with standard hot-dip galvanizing, especially in acidic, alkaline and salt-spray environments, which extends service life and lowers lifecycle costs.
Q2: Can you supply custom gabion box sizes and mesh openings for a riverbank reinforcement project?
A2: Yes. Standard sizes include 1×1×1 m, 2×1×1 m and 3×1×1 m, and mesh openings of 60×80 mm, 80×100 mm and 100×120 mm. We can customize wire diameter, box dimensions and mesh type to meet specific riverbank or slope stabilization requirements.
● Preparation before installation
1. Read the construction drawings carefully to understand the specifications, dimensions and installation location of the gabion net.
2. Assess the geographical conditions and environmental factors of the construction site, and determine the construction difficulty and required resources.
3. Prepare the required construction equipment, tools and materials to ensure sufficient quantity and qualified quality.
4. Organize construction personnel to conduct technical briefings and safety training, and clarify construction tasks and safety responsibilities.
● Gabion installation steps
1. According to the design drawings, determine the installation location and boundaries of the gabion net.
2. Use measuring tools for positioning to ensure the installation position of the gabion net is accurate.
3. Expand the gabion net and fix it in the predetermined position to ensure that the mesh pieces are flat and the connection is firm.
4. Fill the inside of the gabion net with appropriate stones or soil, layer by layer, until the design height is reached.
5. Compact the filled gabion net to ensure overall stability.
● Construction precautions
1. During the installation process, ensure that the mesh pieces of the gabion mesh are firmly connected to avoid loosening or falling off.
2. When filling stones or soil, ensure that the filling is even and dense to avoid cavities or looseness.
3. Construction workers should wear safety protective equipment and abide by safe operating procedures to ensure construction safety.
● Regular inspection and maintenance
1. Check the gabion net regularly to observe its overall stability and integrity.
2. If the gabion net is found to be damaged, displaced or deformed, it should be repaired or replaced in time.
3. Check the status of the filling inside the gabion net. If loose stones or soil loss are found, they should be replenished and reinforced in time.
● Drainage and cleaning management
1. Make sure there is a good drainage system around the gabion net to avoid water damage to the gabion net.
2. Regularly clean the debris and dirt on the surface of the gabion net to keep it clean and beautiful.
● Avoid contact with harmful substances
1. The gabion net should avoid contact with chemical corrosive substances to avoid damage to it.
2. During construction and maintenance, environmentally friendly materials should be used and harmful chemicals should be avoided.
● Timely repair and replacement
1. Once the gabion net is found to be damaged or failed, it should be stopped immediately and repaired or replaced.
2. When repairing or replacing gabion nets, it should be carried out in accordance with the original design and construction requirements to ensure quality and safety.
●Safety training and operating specifications
1. Conduct regular safety training for construction and maintenance personnel to improve their safety awareness and operating skills.
2. Develop and comply with operating specifications to ensure safety and quality during construction and maintenance.
In summary, the installation, construction and maintenance of woven gabion nets is a comprehensive work, which requires full consideration of pre-construction preparations, installation steps, precautions, and subsequent inspection and maintenance.Only through careful construction and standardized management can the long-term stability and safety of gabion nets be ensured and their role in protecting and beautifying the environment effectively played.
