PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Gabions are compartmentalized rectangular containers of galvanized steel hexagonal wire mesh that are filled with stone. While maintaining sufficient strength to contain the stone used as a fill, gabions must be able to settle, twist, and conform to channel and foundation shifts.
In order to meet the various needs, gabions must have the following features:
🔷 Hexagonal mesh pattern critical points
🔷 Double twist to avoid unraveling
🔷 Reinforcing wires woven into corners to reinforce critical points
🔷 A diaphragm securely attached at the base that will prevent the shifting of some and reinforce the gabion.
CERTIFICATION
🔷 All gabion basket are manufactured in accordance with the requirements of BS EN 10223-3:2013.
🔷 All wire is in accordance with BS EN 10218-2:2012 and BS EN 10223-3:2013
🔷 with an ultimate tensile strength of between 350 to 500N/mm².
🔷 All wire used in the gabion production or accessories shall be Zinc or Zinc 90% Aluminium 10% coated in accordance with BS EN 10244-2:2009 (Class A) with an additional extruded organic polymer powder coating (grey,green) of 0.5mm nominal radial thickness. This organic polymer powder coating is in accordance with BS EN 10245-2:2011.
OPTIONAL MATERIAL
