Gabion Box

Gabion Mats (Reno Mattress):
The Reno mattress is a structure made of hexagonal double twisted wire mesh. Reno mattresses are filled with stones at the project site to form flexible and permeable, monolithic structures such as river bank protection and channel lining for erosion control. The steel wire used to manufacture the mattress is heavily zinc-coated soft temper steel. The standard combination of mesh is shown in Table. In order to reinforce the structure, all mesh panel edges are selvedged with a wire having a greater diameter. Reno mattresses are divided into uniformly partitioned cells by internal diaphragms.

Gabion Baskets (Stone Box):
Gabion are baskets manufacture from 8x10 double twisted hexagonal woven steel wire mesh, as per ASTM A975-97 Gabion are filled with stones at the project site to form flexible, permeable, monolithic structures such as retaining walls, channel linings, and weirs for erosion control projects. The steel wire used in the manufacture of the gabion is heavily Galfan (zinc – 5% aluminum – mischmetal [Zn – 5 Al - MN] alloy) coated soft temper steel. A PVC coating is then applied to provide additional protection for use in corrosion in polluted, contaminated or aggressive environments: in salt, fresh water, acid soil or wherever the risk of corrosion is present. The PVC coating has a nominal thickness of 0.02 in. (0.50mm). The gabion is divided into cells by diaphragms positioned at approximately 3 ft (0.9mm) centers. To reinforce the structure, all mesh panel edges are selvedge with a wire having a greater diameter. Gabions shall be manufactured and shipped with all components mechanically connected at the production facility.

Welded Gabion Box:
Metal Tec welded wire Gabion is made by one of the nation’s leading manufacturers of welded wire mesh. Each gabion is construction is constructed of rugged high tensile wire which is coated with a thick, corrosion-resistant of zinc. The wire is also available with a tough, durable PVC coating. The quality materials results in a longer, gabion life. Metal Tec welded wire supplied from stock in a complete Custom sizes to fit unique site con-available on special order.

Terramesh System:
Terramesh system is a technology that is not used as filling the material of stone. This is a sandwich element consisting of wire mesh, with hexagonal mesh in front of the face side accompanied by coconut fabric, plastic mesh, backed by mesh fabric of large wire diameter.
