ASTM A975 Standard Welded Gabion Baskets 80 X 100 Mm Mesh For Erosion Control Projects

The double twisted gabion basket is made by twisting continuous pairs of wires through three one-half turns (commonly called double twisted) to form hexagonal-shaped openings which are then interconnected to adjacent wires to form hexagonal openings.
The wire used to manufacture double twisted gabion wire mesh is soft annealed, mild steel wire provided with heavy zinc coating as per EN 10244/ASTM A 641 to prevent corrosion. In case of use in aggressive environments, it is further extruded with 0.5mm thick PVC Coating. The PVC coating is UV stabilized as per ASTM A 975.

Selvedge / Edge wire which is a thicker and heavier wire is used to reinforce the edges and transverse diaphragm. It gives greater rigidity and shape to the Gabion Basket.
The diaphragm assure minimum stone migration within the basket, thus gives strength to the container to retain its original shape and does not unravel or unzip in adverse conditions. Woven units can also be easily amended on site and shaped to suit project requirements.

/ Gabion Mattress made from a hexagonal double twisted wire mesh with a mesh type 6x8. The wire mesh diameter is 2.2 mm. The wire mesh diameter is 2.2 mm.
The possibilities of the mesh coating:
Heavy zinc coating
Galfan coating (Zn-5%Al-MM)
Zinc / Galfan + PVC coating
APPLICATION AREAS:
