Gabions, fabricated from heavy hexagonal mesh, are extensively used in various civil engineering projects for flood control, soil protection, and structural reinforcement. These gabions come in multiple sizes and customization options to meet specific application needs.By understanding these common sizes and customization options, you can select the appropriate hexagonal mesh gabions for your specific needs, ensuring effective and efficient use in your projects.
Gabion Sizes
Hexagonal mesh gabions are available in standard sizes to accommodate different applications. The common sizes include:
- 2m x 1m x 1m: Suitable for general flood control and soil protection.
- 3m x 1m x 1m: Ideal for larger structures like bridge protection and seawalls.
- 4m x 1m x 1m: Used for extensive flood prevention and soil reinforcement projects.
- 2m x 1m x 0.5m: Fits well in smaller areas requiring water and soil protection.
-
4m x 1m x 0.5m: Used for wider coverage in structural reinforcement and bank stabilization.
Custom sizes can be manufactured upon request to meet specific project requirements.
Customization Capabilities of Hexagonal Mesh Gabions
Hexagonal mesh gabions can be customized in terms of material, coating, and mesh specifications to enhance their performance and longevity in various environments.
Material Customization
Gabions are made from two primary types of wire fabrics:
- Galvanized Hexagonal Wire Mesh Heavy Type: Constructed from high-quality low-carbon steel wire with a tensile strength of 38kg/mm². The wire diameter ranges from 2.0mm to 4.0mm. The steel wire is typically galvanized, with the galvanizing layer thickness customizable according to customer specifications. The maximum galvanizing quantity can reach 300g/m².
- PVC Coated Hexagonal Wire Mesh Heavy Type: Made from PVC-coated wire, which provides a longer service life and better corrosion resistance. This type is ideal for use in harsher environments.
