Double Twisted Mesh Gabions

Key Features

1. Construction:
   • Wire Mesh: Made from double twisted hexagonal steel wire mesh, which provides strength and flexibility. The twisting of the wire prevents unraveling and enhances the structural integrity of the gabion.
   • Mesh Size: Common mesh opening sizes include 8x10 cm (approximately 3.25x4.50 inches) or other custom sizes depending on project requirements.
2. Material Options:
   • Typically constructed from galvanized steel wire, but can also be made with:PVC-coated wire
3. Wire Diameter:
   • Common diameters include:Mesh wire: 
4. Strength Specifications:
   • Tensile strength of the mesh can reach up to:3500 lbs/ft parallel to twist
5. Dimensions:
   • Standard gabion sizes include:Commonly available in various dimensions, such as 
6. Corrosion Protection:
   • The wire is often treated with various coatings to resist corrosion:Hot-dipped galvanization

Applications

• Retaining Walls: Used in civil engineering for stabilizing slopes and preventing soil erosion.
• Riverbank Protection: Effective in controlling river flow and protecting banks against erosion.
• Landscaping: Aesthetic applications in gardens and parks for decorative walls or features.
• Flood Control: Used in flood management structures to absorb water flow and reduce erosion.

Advantages

• Flexibility and Durability: The double twisted design allows the gabions to adapt to ground movement without losing structural integrity.
• Permeability: Excellent drainage properties help dissipate hydrostatic pressure behind retaining walls.
• Ease of Installation: Gabions can be easily transported, assembled, and filled on-site with locally sourced materials.
