Customization Capabilities
Gabions can be manufactured in a variety of shapes and sizes, and wire specifications can be adjusted to meet different project requirements:
- Wire Diameter
Customizable wire thickness between 2 mm and 8 mm allows for increased or decreased structural strength as needed. - Coating Options
Besides galvanization, gabion wire can be coated with PVC for added corrosion resistance. Available in different colors to blend with the environment or create a specific aesthetic. - Mesh Size and Basket Dimensions
Mesh sizes can be adjusted to suit specific stone sizes or project needs. Basket lengths can vary from 0.5 m to 6 m, and heights can be customized.
Applications and Advantages
- Mass-Gravity and Retaining Walls
Gabions are perfect for stabilizing slopes or creating retaining structures due to their strength and permeability. - River and Canal Structures
Suitable for erosion control and riverbank stabilization. - Rockfall Protection
Prevents loose rocks from causing damage or injury by catching them in the netted structure. - Architectural and Landscaping
Offers aesthetic appeal while maintaining structural integrity. - Defense and Security
Useful for building fortified bunkers or protective walls due to its resilience to blast impact.
Advantages
- Flexible and Durable: Adjusts to settlement without compromising structure.
- Permeable: Prevents water buildup, reducing pressure behind the wall.
- Economical: Uses locally available materials and requires little maintenance.
- Environmentally Friendly: Supports vegetation growth, blending with the natural environment.
