Gabion Retaining Wall Design / Welded Gabion Basket Stone Walls
Site Preparation
Step 1
Place stakes at the corners of the site where you intend to
construct the gabion wall. Use the spade to dig up any grass or
plants that would have roots under the wall.
Step 2
Examine the earth under the wall. If it is soft soil or clay, dig
down a few inches and fill the hole with gravel to give extra
support to the weight of the wall.
Step 3
Use the hoe to smooth the ground or gravel under the wall. Place
the board on the ground and use the level to make sure the base of
the wall is approximately level.
Advantages of Gabions:
Ease & Quicker in Installation
Speed of construction & Quicker Assembly
Rigid Structure
Strong base,which provides strength from being drag away by river
or stream
Welded Gabion can conform to ground movement,dissipate energy from
flowing water,and drain freely
Gabions strength and effectiveness increase with time as silt and
vegetation fill the interstitial voids and reinforce the structure
and provide extra strength
Reduce velocity of water as the energy dissipated by the rocks,thus
reduce erosion
Applications of Welded Gabion Basket :
Gabion retaining walls are made of welded mesh panels filled with
stones. These walls are strong and long-lasting and are often used
in industrial areas such as mines or to prevent erosion along river
banks or coastlines.
Gabion Boxes:
These are blocks made of gabion mesh, which can be filled on the
site with rocks, stones, debris and crushed concrete.
(Note: siar boxes can also be made out of welded wire mesh)
Gabion Mattresses:
Mattresses out of gabions are used to provide protection on water
courses.
Gabion Rock fall netting:
This kind of netting made out of gabion mesh finds application in
preventing rocks and debris from spilling.
Gabion Sack:
Used in controlling water flow.
Packing details
Packing: In pallet or in bundle, put in wooden case or cartons,as
buyer's requirement.
