Welded Wire Mesh Mattresses

Key Features

• Construction: Made from welded steel wire mesh, providing a strong and durable structure. The mesh is typically galvanized for corrosion resistance.
• Dimensions: Common sizes include:
  • Length: 3 m x 2 m or 2 m x 2 m
  • Depths: Available in various thicknesses, commonly ranging from 0.17 m to 0.3 m.
• Compartmentalization: Many welded mattresses are subdivided into compartments to enhance stability and facilitate filling with materials like stones.

Specifications

• Wire Diameter: Typically ranges from 2.0 mm to 3.0 mm.
• Mesh Size: Common mesh apertures include configurations such as 60 mm x 80 mm.
• Material Coating: Options include:
  • Galfan (zinc-aluminum alloy) coated
  • PVC coated for additional protection against environmental factors.

Advantages

• Durability: The welded construction provides superior strength compared to woven gabions, making them suitable for high-stress applications.
• Erosion Control: Effective in stabilizing riverbanks, slopes, and other areas prone to erosion.
• Ease of Installation: Designed for quick assembly and filling on-site, often requiring minimal tools.

Applications

• Erosion Control: Placed in watercourses, along riverbanks, or on slopes to prevent soil loss.
• Retaining Structures: Used as part of retaining walls or as a foundation for other structures.
• Flood Management: Serve as barriers to redirect water flow and mitigate flooding risks.
