Gabion Nets Explained: A Sustainable, Strong, and Water-Permeable Solution for Erosion Control

Gabion nets are mechanically woven from low-carbon steel wires with high corrosion resistance, high strength and ductility or PVC-coated steel wires. The box-shaped structure made of this net is a gabion box. The diameter of the mild steel wire used varies according to engineering design requirements according to ASTM and EN standards. Generally between 2.0-4.0mm, the tensile strength of the gabion mesh steel wire is not less than 38kg/m2, the weight of the metal coating is generally higher than 245g/m2, and the edge line diameter of the gabion mesh is generally larger than the diameter of the network cable. The length of the twisted part of the double wire shall not be less than 50mm to ensure that the metal coating and PVC coating of the twisted part of the steel wire are not damaged.

Material: Annealed Wire,Redrawn Wire,PVC Coated Wire,Galvanized wire.

Features: Flexible; water permeable, preventing damage caused by hydrostatic forces; integral, not easy to collapse.

Usage: Used for slope support, foundation pit support, net spraying on mountain rock surfaces, slope planting (greening), railway and highway isolation barriers. It can also be made into box cages and mesh mats for use in rivers, Anti-scouring protection of dams and seawalls, and cages for reservoir and river interception.

Production process: The process of gabion mesh using hexagonal twisting is: raw material selection (wire rod) - cold drawing/galvanizing/plastic wrapping - machine weaving - manual shearing and assembly - product inspection - packaging and transportation.

Product advantages:


1. The flexible structure can adapt to changes in slope without being damaged, and has better safety and stability than rigid structures.

2. It has strong anti-scouring ability and can withstand water flow speeds up to 6m/s.

3. The structure is essentially water-permeable and has a strong tolerance for the natural action and filtration of groundwater. Suspended objects and silt in the water can be deposited in the stone-filling gaps, which is conducive to the growth of natural plants and gradually restores the original structure. Some ecological environment.
