Galvanized Welded Gabion Mesh

Welded gabions are made from rigid, lightweight, galvanized steel mesh that allows for machine filling, holds the alignment  of the face, welded gabions are faster to erect and don’t need tensioning, this allows them to keep their shape, to be free from bulges and depressions and fit easily against  the wall.

Welded Gabion Mesh is manufactured from cold steel Wire with high tensile strength, it is electrically welded together then hot dip galvanized and PVC coated ,ensuring a longer life, there are galvanized gabions and pvc  coated gabion.

Gabion Mesh are designed on the principle of mass earth retaining wall. The strength of the wire mesh helps to stand the forces generated by the retained soil.

How to install Welded Gabion Mesh?
Step 1. Ends, diaphragms, front and back panels are placed upright on the bottom section of wire mesh.
Step 2. Secure panels by screwing spiral binders through the mesh openings in adjacent panels.
Step 3. Stiffeners shall be placed across the corners, at 300mm from the corner. Providing a diagonal bracing, and crimped over the line and cross wires on the front and side faces. None are needed in interior cells.
Step 4. Gabion box is filled with graded stone by hand or with a shovel.
Step 5. After filling, close the lid and secure with spiral binders at the diaphragms, ends, front and back.
Step 6. When stacking tiers of the welded gabion mesh, the lid of the lower tier may serve as the base of the upper tier. Secure with spiral binders and add pre-formed stiffeners to exterior cells before filling with graded stones.
