Double twisted hexagonal mesh gabions / gabion wire mesh for
channeI linings
Product Description:
Double Twisted Hexagonal Mesh Gabions are rectangular wire mesh
baskets filled with rock at the project site to form malleable,
permeable,monolithic structures such as retaining walls and
structures for various types of civil projects.
The double twisted woven wire will not unravel, even when cut the
durabiliq of gabions comes from their wire type and coating—whether
it is the heavy galvanized d steel wire or the same wire with an
additional PVC coating for ultimate rust control.
Double - twisted wire mesh:
A non raveling mesh made by twisting continuous pairs of wires
through two & one half turns (commonly called double twisted) to
form hexagonal shaped opening which are then interconnected to
adjacent wires to from hexagonal opening.
Selvedge wire:
A terminal wire used to edge the wire mesh perpendicular to the
double twist by mechanically wrapping the mesh wire around atleast
2.5 times.
Lacing wire:
A galvanized wire or galvanized wire with PVC Coating used to
assemble and interconnect empty units,to close and secure
stone—lilled units,and internal stiffeners.

Tie wire of GI (2.0 mm, 2.2 mm or 2.4 mm) or GI + PVC (2.0/3.0 mm,
2.2/3.2 mm, or 2.4/3.4 mm) coated, generally the quantity supplied
is 5% of the box weight.
Advantages of Gabions
Exemplary modularity and ability to stack in various sizes and
shapes,
Gabion structures are capable of resisting any types of stresses,
bending, tensile and shear.
Gabion structures can accommodate differential settlements without
disturbing the structural integrity.
The permeability characteristics of Gabion structures eliminate the
problems caused in RCC structures, such as soil instability, water
logged backfills/foundation etc.
Gabion and gabion mattresses are durability of the structure
Applications / Uses of Gabions
Retaining WaIl Structures
Highways & Bridges
Erosion Control
River & Canal Training
Coastal & River Embankment Works
