Gabions from high corrosion resistant , high strength, ductility low carbon steel wire or PVC coated wire above the woven using machinery , the use of the nets made of box -type structure is the gabion . According to ASTM and EN standards , low carbon steel wire diameter are used according to different engineering requirements . Generally between 2.0-4.0mm, gabion wire tensile strength less than 38kg/m2, metal coating weight is generally higher than 245g/m2, the edge mesh gabion wire diameter is generally greater than the cable diameter. Length of the double stranded portion shall not be less than 50mm. To ensure that part of the wire strands of metal plating and PVC coating from damage.
Gabions can be used for slope protection , foundation pit , mountain rock hanging mesh shotcrete surface , slope vegetation ( green ) , Railway Protection block Highway isolation , it also made cages, mesh pad for rivers , dams and seawalls to protect against erosion and reservoirs, river closure with a cage . The most serious disasters rivers flow to river erosion damage, flooding caused flooding, leading to significant loss of life and property and suffered a lot of erosion. Therefore, when dealing with these issues , the application of the eco-grid lattice structure as one of the best solutions , which enables permanent river bank protection.
