Hot Dipped Galvanized Hexagonal Woven Steel Gabion Mesh 8x10 Double Twisted:
Gabions shall be manufactured with all components mechanically connected at the production facility. The front, base, back and lid of the gabions shall be woven into a single unit. The ends and diaphragm(s) shall be factory connected to the base. The lid may be a separate piece made of the same type mesh as the basket. All perimeter edges of the mesh forming the basket and top, or lid, shall be selvedge with wire having a larger diameter.
Gabion is divided into cells by means of diaphragms positioned at approximately 1 m centres. The diaphragms shall be secured in position to the base so that no additional lacing is necessary at the jobsite.
Gabion Wire quality:
Heavy galvanized wire, zinc according to BS 443, min zinc coating 255 gr/m2 and tensile strength < 500 Ν/mm2
Heavy galvanized wire, with 5% aluminium (GALFAN or Zn95Al5), zinc according to EN 10244-2, min zinc coating 255 gr/m2 and tensile strength < 500 Ν/mm2
Plastic coated wire (PVC), min PVC coating 0.5 mm, inside heavy galvanized wire, zinc according to BS 443, min zinc coating 255 gr/m2 and tensile strength < 500 Ν/mm2
Wire mesh diameter: 3.00 mm, Horizontal-selvedge wire diameter: 4.00 mm
Roll mesh weight (+/-) : 1,75 kg/m2, Gabion mesh weight (+/-) : 2,00 kg/m2
Gabion Dimensions:
Rolls in length of 20 m and width from 0,5 m up to 4 m (possibility for production of special sizes)
Gabions (wire baskets): Length from 1 m up to 3,5 m, Width from 0,5 m up to 2 m, Height from 0,5 m up to 1 m
Comment 1: The gabions of length > 2 m, are divided into cells every 1 m by diaphragms, for the better retaining of the gabion shape during the filling with stones and the installation at the worksite
Comment 2: The selvedge wires of the gabions have bigger diameter than the diameter of the mesh wires, usually 3.90 mm
Comment 3: After the gabions are installed at the worksite, need to be correctly binded together, in order to achieve better stability of the wall construction
Comment 4: For the quicker stitch of the rolls and the gabions, pneumatic or manual pistols are used, as well as special wire stitch rings (connectors) of heavy galvanized wire or GALFAN wire, which are being adjusted on the selvedge wires of the gabions. The connectors are provided in reams of 40 pieces and in carton boxes of 40 reams (total 1600 connectors per carton box)
