Gabions

As the wire fabric container, the gabion is partitioned uniformly with variable size. It can be interconnected with other similar containers and used as a cage, cylinder or box to be filled with stone, earth or sand. The product filled with stones at the site can be employed to form the flexible, permeable and monolithic structure for use as retaining wall, sea wall, channel lining, revetment and weir to achieve earth retention. The product filled with soil or sand is often applied in civil engineering, road building and military application.

Though yielding to the earth movement, the gabion structure still has high working efficiency. It won't come out with catastrophic failure which may happen to the rigid or semi-rigid structure even there is a slight change in the foundation. The product structure has high permeability. It can functions as the self draining unit to drain out the ground water, which can relieve the hydrostatic head. Meanwhile, the interstitial spaces among the rocks can effectively consume part of the energy of flood current and wave action. In addition, the working efficiency would increase with time rather than decrease.

Surface Treatment
1. Heavy galvanized wire
2. Heavy galvanized wire plus heavy PVC coating
3. Galfan alloy coating with 95% zinc and 5% aluminum mischmetal
4. The coating as stated above with the addition of heavy PVC coating

Advantages
1. The front face of the gabion structure has high permeability to ensure smooth drainage of backfill. Meanwhile, there is no hydrostatic pressure behind the retaining wall.
2. As the result of the flexibility, the product can adapt to different settlements, which the rigid structure such as welded mesh cage can not.
3. The uniform wire coating can keep ultra high durability.
4. The product structure facilitates the growth of the vegetation to improve the surrounding environment.
5. It is the retaining system with high performance price ratio in the market.

Application Range
1. The gabion is proved to be the effective and long lasting solution for preventing soil erosion by reason of its inherent flexibility.
2. It is also extensively used in the common civil engineering for stabilizing the shoreline or slope against erosion. The product is also employed as temporary floodwall, small temporary or permanent dam as well as for filtering silt form runoff.
3. Most commonly used as retaining wall, the products with heavy galvanized wire are connected with each other and filled with stones. The stones are stacked on one another in tiers to step back with the slope rather than vertically.
