Product Introduction

Gabion mattresses are flexible wire-mesh units filled with stone, used for erosion control, slope stabilization, and channel lining. They are available in both twisted hexagonal wire mesh (woven) and welded wire mesh configurations. Compared with twisted mesh, welded wire mesh offers greater rigidity, superior flatness, enhanced flexibility, and better adaptability to ground contours. Both types exhibit excellent corrosion resistance, promote vegetation growth, and are well suited for long-term erosion protection.

Product Components

• Base plate: Provides central stability by distributing the weight of the stone and supporting overall structural stability.

• Side and end panels: Provide lateral support to balance the masonry fill and prevent horizontal displacement.

• Diaphragm: The rock’s stable internal support is crucial for maintaining stability and preventing rock movement.

• Hemming line: A reinforced outer edge that not only stabilizes the material but also prevents it from unraveling.

• Tensioning/fixing components: securely connect the panels to form a stable and robust structure.

Product Specifications

Twisted-pair network

This specification defines the requirements for double-twisted hexagonal wire mesh used in gabion mattresses. It specifies wire gauges, mesh dimensions, and coating options to ensure the long-term structural integrity of the system. The design shall maintain adequate flexibility to accommodate various environmental factors, such as soil pressure and water movement.

Twisted-pair network

It ensures that the strength of the wire mesh, edge wires, and coating meets durability standards. By implementing structural integrity criteria, this standard enhances the stability of gabions in erosion-control and slope-protection applications.

Welded wire mesh

The structural stability and dimensional uniformity of welded-wire mesh gabions are ensured. Increasing attention is being paid to weld shear performance and the use of corrosion-resistant finishes to achieve long-term performance. This standard is typically applied to soil-forming materials under critical conditions—namely, the fabrication of gabions—because it places strong emphasis on stiffness and deformation control.

Welded wire mesh

BS EN 10223-8 applies to this standard and specifies the requirements for the production of welded-wire mesh gabions, with particular attention to wire tensile strength, coating conditions, and weld stability. It also sets out the requirements that welded wire mattresses must meet in terms of adequate load-bearing capacity and corrosion resistance. A large number of infrastructure and water-conservation projects rely on this standard.
