Gabion 60x80mm for slope protection
Materials:
es are used for river bank and scour protection, channel linings
for erosion control, and embankment stability. They are filled with
rock at the project site to form flexible, permeable, monolithic
structures to promote rapid growth of natural vegetation. All the
physical and mechanical properties of Rofirm Gabions & Mattresses
Co. es meet or exceed the requirements of ASTM A975-97.
The base section of the is divided into compartments and filled
with stones at the project site. With lids secured, es form
flexible, permeable, monolithic structures.
Environmental Friendly
es are environmentally friendly products. The blending of
structures into the environment is rapid and pleasing. The voids in
the rockfill become progressively filled with silt, promoting
vegetation growth which is essential to the preservation and
maintenance of the ecological balance of the surrounding
environment.
Flexibility
The woven mesh system has the capability of withstanding unexpected
and/or localized stresses due to ground settlements and scour by
deflection while maintaining its structural integrity.
Permeability
The stone fill allows the water to seep through the structure while
retaining the soil, therefore no additional drainage is required to
relieve the hydrostatic pressures.
Cost Effective, Easy to Build
construction does not require skilled labor because they are very
easy to build. Standard construction equipment can be used.
Structures can be built in stages, if necessary, and baskets can be
prefilled and launched to enable the installation under water. Site
assistance is available from any Rofirm Gabions & Mattresses Co.
area office.
Advantages of es:
This is a mattress shaped version of the gabion used mainly for
erosion control when the retaining properties of box gabions are
not required
Their strength lies in their double twisted hexagonal mesh of steel
wire which is reinforced by selvedges of heavier wire running along
the edges.
The base section is divided into compartments to restrict the
movement of stone and strengthen the structure.
The lid is supplied as a separate panel.
The wire will not unravel even when cut.
Assembly is easy, requiring no specialized labor and nearby rock is
used for fill.
Free drainage and 30-35% voids allow vegetation to grow.
