Key Features

Strong and Flexible Structure
The double-twisted hexagonal mesh provides high tensile strength and flexibility, allowing the structure to adapt to ground movement without cracking.

Excellent Permeability
The open stone-filled structure allows water drainage, reducing hydrostatic pressure and improving long-term stability.

Durable Corrosion Protection
Heavy galvanized, Galfan, and PVC-coated wire options provide reliable corrosion resistance for outdoor and hydraulic environments.

FAQ

Q: What is a Hexagonal Wire Gabion Basket?

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

Q: What is the difference between gabion baskets and gabion mattresses?

A: Gabion baskets are taller box-shaped structures mainly used for retaining and support applications, while gabion mattresses are low-height structures mainly used for surface protection.

Q: What materials are used for gabion baskets?

A: Gabion baskets are commonly made from galvanized steel wire, Galfan-coated wire, or PVC-coated steel wire.

Q: Why use double-twisted hexagonal mesh?

A: The double-twisted structure improves flexibility and prevents local damage from causing the entire mesh structure to fail.

Q: What stone size should be used for filling?

A: Stone size depends on mesh opening and project requirements. The filling stone should generally be larger than the mesh opening.

Q: Can gabion basket sizes be customized?

A: Yes. Length, width, height, mesh opening, wire diameter, and coating specifications can be customized.

Q: Are gabion baskets suitable for flood control?

A: Yes. They are widely used for flood banks, river training structures, and erosion prevention projects.

Q: How long can galvanized gabion baskets last?

A: Service life depends on coating type, environment, and installation conditions. Heavy galvanized and Galfan coatings provide long-term corrosion protection.

Q: Do gabion baskets require concrete foundations?

A: In many applications, gabion baskets can be installed without complex concrete foundations. Actual requirements depend on soil conditions and engineering design.

Q: What information is required for a gabion basket quotation?

A: Please provide basket dimensions, mesh opening, wire specification, coating requirement, quantity, and project application.
