Gabion's production process and advantages
Gabion products are often seen in the construction of our schedule. It is a hexagonal mesh (diamond mesh) woven from high corrosion resistance, high strength, ductile low carbon steel wire or PVC coated steel wire. A wire or polymer screen format made in place. So, what is Gabion's production process and advantages?

1、Production of Gabion:
Gabion is mechanically woven from high corrosion resistant, high strength, ductile low carbon steel wire or PVC coated steel wire. The box structure made from this mesh is a stone cage. According to ASTM and EN standards, the diameter of the low carbon steel wire used varies according to engineering design requirements. Generally between 2.0-4.0mm, the tensile strength of the stone cage wire mesh is not less than 38kg/m2, the weight of the metal plating layer is generally higher than 245g/m2, and the diameter of the edge line of the Gabion sheet is generally larger than the diameter of the wire. The length of the double-wire stranded portion shall not be less than 50 mm to ensure that the metal plating and the PVC coating of the stranded steel wire are not damaged. Gabion can be used for slope support, foundation pit support, mountain rock face netting, slope planting (greening), railway highway isolation barrier, it can also be made into cages, mesh mats for rivers and dams. And the anti-scour protection of the seawall and the cages for the interception of reservoirs and rivers. The most serious disaster in rivers is that water flows to wash the river bank and destroy it. The flooding caused by it causes a lot of loss of life and property and a lot of soil erosion. Therefore, in dealing with the above problems, the application of the ecological grid structure is one of the best solutions, which can permanently protect the river bank.

2. Advantages of Gabion's ecological grid structure.

The flexible structure can adapt to the change of the slope without being damaged, and has better safety and stability than the rigid structure;
Strong anti-scour ability, can withstand the maximum water flow speed up to 6m / s;
The structure is inherently water-permeable, and has strong inclusiveness to the natural action and filtration of groundwater. Suspended matter and sludge in the water can be deposited in the rock-filled joints, thereby facilitating the growth of natural plants and gradually recovering the original Some ecological environments.

Gabion is a mesh format made of wire or polymer filaments that hold the stone in place. The wire cage is a mesh woven from iron wire or a welded structure. These two structures can be electroplated and the braided wire box can be additionally coated with PVC. The anti-weathering hard rock is used as a filler, and it will not be broken quickly due to abrasion in the stone box or stone cage sinking. Stone cages with different types of stone have different characteristics. The multi-angled stone can be interlocked well with each other, and the stone cage filled with it is not easily deformed.
