Structure & Manufacturing

Gabion boxes are manufactured using double-twisted hexagonal wire mesh technology. Key structural components include:
Double-twisted mesh: Continuous pairs of wires are twisted through three half turns to create hexagonal openings, improving flexibility and structural integrity.
Selvedge/edge wire: Thicker edge wires reinforce the basket boundaries, improving rigidity and maintaining the designed shape after stone filling.
Diaphragms: Internal partitions can be added to improve stability and reduce stone movement inside larger gabion boxes.

Typical Applications

Gabion Boxes are widely used in infrastructure, hydraulic engineering, and environmental protection projects.

Water & Flood Control

FAQ

Q: What is a Gabion Box?

A: A Gabion Box is a stone-filled container made from double-twisted hexagonal wire mesh, commonly used for retaining structures, erosion control, and hydraulic protection.

Q: What materials are used for gabion boxes?

A: Common materials include hot-dip galvanized wire, Galfan-coated wire, and PVC-coated wire.

Q: Why use double-twisted hexagonal mesh?

A: The double-twisted structure provides flexibility and allows the mesh to maintain integrity even under deformation or local wire damage.

Q: What is the function of edge wire?

A: Edge wire reinforces the basket boundaries, improving rigidity and helping the gabion box maintain its shape after filling.

Q: Do gabion boxes require drainage systems?

A: Generally, the permeable stone structure naturally allows water drainage and reduces hydrostatic pressure.

Q: What mesh sizes are available?

A: Common options include 6 × 8 and 8 × 10 hexagonal mesh.

Q: Can gabion boxes be customized?

A: Yes. Dimensions, mesh opening, wire diameter, coating type, and accessories can be customized according to project requirements.

Q: Are gabion boxes suitable for coastal environments?

A: Yes. Galfan and PVC-coated options provide enhanced corrosion resistance for coastal and marine applications.

Q: How are gabion boxes installed?

A: Gabion boxes are transported folded, assembled on-site, connected together, and filled with suitable stones.

Q: What information is needed for a quotation?

A: Please provide gabion box dimensions, mesh type, wire specification, coating requirement, quantity, and application environment.
