Rust Proof Galfan Coated Welded Gabion Box / Zinc-Al Coated Welded
Gabion
Welded gabion box is high quality steel mesh. They can be filled on site with hard
durable stone materials to form mass gravity retaining structures.
Owing to their inflexibility, welded gabions can not adapt to
differential settlement or be used in water courses. In comparison
with woven wire gabions, welded gabions offer a higher strength. In
order to meet diffferent project requirements, various wire
diameters and unit sizes available for welded gabion boxes.

Welded gabion box advantages:
- Blends easily and harmoniously with the natural surroundings.
- Low cost alternative to concrete or masonry structures.
- Very high resistance to natural forces due to better tensile
strength.
- Can withstand any unpredictable movement or settlement without loss
of stability.
- Simple and speedy installation, making it cost effective.
- Quality finish and appearance is more aesthetically pleasing.
- More rigid than woven mesh resulting in a more uniform finish when
built.
- Quicker and cheaper to install than Woven Mesh gabions because no
pre-stretching required.
- Special gabions sizes and mesh such as gabions with 4mm front mesh
and 3mm mesh else can be available.
How to install welded gabion box?
Step 1. Ends, diaphragms, front and back panels are placed upright on the
bottom section of wire mesh.
Step 2. Secure panels by screwing spiral binders through the mesh openings
in adjacent panels.
Step 3. Stiffeners shall be placed across the corners, at 300mm from the
corner. Providing a diagonal bracing, and crimped over the
line and cross wires on the front and side faces. None are needed
in interior cells.
Step 4. Gabion box filled with graded stone by hand or with a shovel.
Step 5. After filling, close the lid and secure with spiral binders at the
diaphragms, ends, front and back.
Step 6. When stacking tiers of the welded gabion box, the lid of the lower
tier may serve as the base of the upper tier. Secure with
spiral binders and add pre-formed stiffeners to exterior cells
before filling with graded stones.
