Welded Mesh Gaibions

Welded wire mesh means that each point of contact in the grid is actually welded to form a very rigid connection, making this type of gabion indispensable in achieving that perfectly flat, sharp appearance a structure should maintain. Welded wire mesh gabions are more aesthetic and rigid structures compare to Woven Mesh Gabions. Welded Mesh gabions install at a considerably faster rate than woven wire baskets.

Applications:

The welded wire fabric is mainly used for civil works:

Earth Retaining Structures

Reinforced Soils

River Training

Coastal Protection

Canal Lining

Dam Overflows

Scour Protection

Marine Revetment

Rock Fall Protection

Headwall Construction

Welded Mesh Gabion Mattress are used in many situations including the stabilization of earth movement and erosion,river control, reservoirs, canal refurbishment, landscaping and retaining walls.Welded mesh gabions are faster to erect and do not need tensioning. This allows them to keep their shape, to be free from bulges and depressions and fit easily against the wall.

How to install:

Using a hoe to level the ground, Checking the base pad is level

Using a demolition hammer to cut a trench for the front edging

We lay the cage panels out flat to join up the 5 pieces for the base and sides of the bottom cage

The spiral joiners wind easily through, to join the gabion cage mesh panels

Spiral joiners are crimped closed at each end so they can’t fall out

Inserting the central panel

Putting in the central panel & corner bracing to prevent the cage bulging outwards when its filled with rocks

We used old concrete blocks and bricks for bulk in the centre of each gabion cage & tesselated broken sandstone across each face
