Applications: (1) Rivers, canals, reservoirs, reservoirs, lakes and other water conservancy projects. (2) Embankment slope protection of hydraulic and hydropower projects (3) Civil engineering purposes. (4) Agricultural, insulation and fencing purpose.
Advantages: (1)Natural permeability:more pores between the stones in the gabion mesh facilitate the discharge of water from the fill, reduce the pressure of water flow in the soil, and ensure the stability of the soil, contributing to the stability and durability of the entire structure. It also saves the cost associated with drainage facilities required for traditional support structures, reducing the overall cost of the structure. (2)Vegetation:The flowing water in the gabion creates conditions for the environment, realizing the natural exchange of water and soil, making the natural growth of vegetation a reality, and after a period of use, the gabion structure can reach true harmony with nature. (3)Long service life:The raw material of gabion mesh is 10% zinc-aluminum alloy steel wire, and the excellent process base ensures the uniformity of coating thickness. And the corrosion resistance is stronger, and its service life can reach 70 years. (4)Economical:gabion protection project consists of steel wire mesh box and filling materials, the general construction cost is lower than the price of concrete, lower or close to the price of mortar and masonry. Especially in the construction of protection projects in areas with poor soil quality and foundation, the use of gabions can reduce the huge cost of foundation treatment and further reflect its low price advantage. (5)Convenient construction:gabions can be made into semi-finished products according to the design drawings, and then assembled and shaped at the construction site, easy to operate, not affected by climate, suitable for mechanized operation, which can ensure the construction quality and speed up the project progress.
