Gabion revetment Wall
Gabion revetment Wall shall be fabricated in such a manner that the sides, ends, lid and
diaphragms can be assembled at the construction site into rectangular baskets.
Where the length of the hot dipped galvanized gabions 8X10cm exceeds one and one half its
horizontal width, the Superior Quality Galvanized gabion box shall be divided by diaphragms
of the same mesh and gauge as the body of the hot dipped galvanized gabions 8X10cm, into
cells whose length does not exceed the horizontal width. The Superior Quality Galvanized
gabion box shall be furnished with the necessary diaphragms secured in proper position on
the base in such a manner that no additional tying is required at this juncture.

According to ASTM A975
how can we transport the Gabion revetment Wall ?
the Gabion Wall packed in bundles, it is very convenient to load and unload in a
container, it is also good for transportation.
use of Gabion Retaining Wall /how does a double twisted gabion box with hole size 80*100mm
work:
Gabions can be used in many ways, including: retain unstable slopes; provide erosion control
to rivers, channels and shorelines; create acoustic barriers; dressed architectural
buildings and many other applications that require a permeable, flexible, durable and very
cost effective structure.
How long does a Gabion revetment Wall last?
The gabion mesh is available with different coatings. The coating selection is made
depending upon the environmental conditions (physical and chemical) the gabion is expected
to encounter more severe environment. For example, a dry wall situation is likely to require
a galvanized only coating, whereas a maritime environment or a structure requiring a longer
design life would use a PVC coated galvanized wire unit. It is recommended that any
structure in permanent contact with water (through immersion, proximity or spray) use PVC
coated gabions. Channels often transport a bed-load of debris which will impact the gabion
units and a PVC coated product is therefore appropriate. We have exhumed a number of old
structures and tested the residual performance of the mesh. The results of these tests
indicate a design life of the PVC coating can achieve 70 years when not exposed to severe
environment.
