Specifications:

• Gabion boxes are rectangular, compartmentalized containers constructed from a triple-twist hexagonal woven mesh.
• They are fabricated using galvanized iron (GI) wire to BS1052 standards or PVC-coated wire that complies with BS1485 and AASHTO-M181 specifications. These structures offer significant tensile strength, resilience, and are known for being environmentally friendly and cost-effective.

Common Sizes:

• Length: Typically available in lengths ranging from 1 to 4 meters, depending on the application.
• Width: Standard widths range from 0.5 to 1 meter to accommodate different project requirements.
• Height: Heights commonly vary from 0.3 to 1 meter, ensuring flexible construction options.
• Mesh Size: Commonly used mesh sizes include 60 x 80 mm, 80 x 100 mm, and 100 x 120 mm, suitable for different fill materials and project needs.
• Wire Diameter: The wire thickness is usually between 2 mm and 4 mm for galvanized wire, and up to 5 mm for PVC-coated wire, providing varying degrees of robustness.

Customization Capabilities:

• Mesh Size Customization: Mesh sizes can be adjusted based on specific requirements, with finer mesh preferred for smaller stones and larger mesh for coarser materials.
• Wire Coating: Choose between galvanized iron and PVC coatings based on the environmental conditions and expected longevity.
• Dimensions: Length, width, and height can be tailored to fit the topography and specific engineering needs.
• Diaphragm Placement: Diaphragms are incorporated to subdivide the gabion box, providing structural integrity and flexibility in stone placement.

Advantages of Gabion Boxes:

• Cost-Effective and Eco-Friendly: They present a sustainable, affordable alternative to concrete retaining walls.
• Natural Integration: The boxes blend well with natural landscapes and support vegetation growth.
• Durable and Flexible: Their ability to deform without cracking ensures structural integrity during ground shifts or settlement.
• Ease of Installation and Repair: Simple construction allows for rapid installation, while damaged cages can be quickly repaired.
• Versatile Application: Gabions are widely used in channels, riverbanks, rockfall protection, road and culvert lining, and much more.
