Galfan coated gabion baskets modules / interior gabion designs
Product Description:
The modules, units or cages as they are known, are formed from wire
mesh fabric panels, jointed to form square, rectangular or
trapezoidal shaped units.
These units are part pre-assembled in the factory to form a
flat-pack system. These flat-pack units are supplied to the
customer and formed into the final shaped module on site with the
necessary lacing wire, helicals and/or ‘C’ rings as required. Each
module has to be connected to adjacent modules to form a monolithic
structure.
The types of mesh used must be of a non-ravelling type such as
welded wire mesh or hexagonal woven wire mesh and provided with
corrosion protection to suit the required exposure conditions, The
mesh can be specified as either Galfan coated or Galfan coated with
an external organic polymer powder (PVC) coating.
Typical Applications:
Channel Linings
Drop Structures & Weirs

There is an other type of gabion baskets, welded mesh gabions are
manufactured from a square mesh, This type of fabric manufacture
produces a dimensionally stable mesh. The mesh is produced in
standard sheets which are then cut into the required panel sizes to
form the flat pack unit.
Welded mesh gabions can be readily modified on site by cutting the
mesh back to the next transverse mesh wire. Welded mesh gabions are
available in a number of wire diameters to suit the application or
can be manufactured in a combination of mesh-wire specifications to
provide economy in supply. The resultant gabions’ flexibility is
dependant upon the choice of wire diameter.
