Welded wire gabions are made of welded wire fabrics. This kind of wire mesh containers are uniformly welded and can be supplied of various sizes.
Welded gabions can be connected with other similar containers and filled with stone to form flexible and permeable structures for retaining of riverbank and soils.
The steel wire for making of welded mesh gabions is cold drawn high tensile steel zinc coated.
Advantage:
Gabions made of welded wire fabrics offer much strength compared with woven wire gabions while they have similar flexibility. Welded mesh gabions are faster to erect and do not need tensioning. This allows them to keep their shape, to be free from bulges and depressions and fit easily against the wall. Gabions are used in many situations including the stabilization of earth movement and erosion, river control, reservoirs, canal refurbishment, landscaping and retaining walls.
