Gabions

Gabions is an element in the form of blocks made of wire mesh nettings of twisted hexagonal opening or welded square or rectangular openings, which is filled with natural stone for river, hill protection or construction.

Uses:

Strengthen the slopes 
Gabion offers a unique way to protect against erosion and landslides. 
Gabion retaining walls are used for their flexibility, robustness and high drainage capacity. The work of Gabion are considered to be a perfect solution in demanding geotechnical conditions, because you can easily assemble.

Roads and railways 
Gabion is used where it is necessary to stabilize the road or rail. It is used primarily for the expansion or construction of roads on the slopes. Furthermore, in the construction of railway embankments, and so on.

Another option is the use of Gabion noise barriers, where the effect is compared with soundproof concrete improved by selecting suitable plants.

Rivers 
Gabion baskets provides clear advantages in the management of watercourses. Gabion works better than the concrete lining, which destroys any connection between water flow and its surrounding areas and prevents the growth of plants.

Gabion Box Sizes:
This Gabion Wall has been designed and constructed to retain the site boundary along the length of a new access road to a new industrial development. The gabions were filled with crushed concrete and faced with 6g stone fill.

Gabion walling is being used to construct an access track along the length of an existing train station. The access track will be used by a pilling rig that will be required to place new foundation when the existing station is demolished and the new railway station constructed. The gabion wall is constructed both sides of railway line and has to be constructed and backfilled in 4m lengths. This limits the chance of slipage to the embankment.

Hexagonal mesh gabions have been used successfully for many years in channel lining, river management, soil protection, slope stabilization and other applications. It offers many advantages over other types of construction products. Why is gabion mesh so popular? What are its advantages? 

Lower cost

Gabion mesh is very inexpensive to set up. Gabions are easy to develop and require limited tools, minimal structural preparation, no drainage and low cost rock fill, often from regional suppliers of stone or rock. Gabion frames require little maintenance and can become permanent structures if created and constructed properly.

Robustness

Mesh gabions are strong and flexible enough to withstand the forces generated by water and soil. The most critical and appropriate strength residential properties as well as style criteria associated with gabions are perforated toughness, tensile strength, tensile openness and rust resistance of the mesh.

Leakage in the structure

Gabion mesh produces a natural free-draining structure. No hydrostatic pressure head is created behind the gabion mesh and flax mattress structure. Drainage is accomplished by gravity and dissipation because the porous structure allows air to actively circulate through it. The twisted hexagonal mesh structure of the individual units allows them to withstand uneven negotiations without failure.

Resilience

Made of highly resistant twisted hexagonal mesh filled with often difficult to handle, long-lasting stones, the cooperatively developed monolithic framework can be used effectively during construction activities without loss of architectural honesty, resulting in a very resilient framework.

Advantages and Disadvantages

Some of the advantages of gabion walls are: ease of handling and transportation, speed of construction, flexibility and permeability.

Gabions provide an easy to use method to reduce water velocity and protect slopes from erosion.

Some disadvantages are: gabions are sometimes criticized for being unsightly.

Gabions are more expensive than vegetated slopes or thrown rocks. The wire baskets used for gabions can suffer severe wear and tear from the abrasion of the wire caused by the bed load movement in high velocity water flow. It is also more difficult to install and requires large equipment.
