Welded Wire Mesh Gabion & Gabion Mattresses / gabion wall design and construction
Welded Wire Mesh Gabion & Gabion Mattresses
These flexible, permeable, rock-filled and interconnected modular units create a monolithic wall for earth retention or a blanket for soil stabilization, providing the civil engineer a unique building material that aesthetically blends that sheared-rock look into its natural environment.
Welded wire mesh means that each point of contact in the grid is actually welded to form a more rigid connection, making this type of gabion indispensable in achieving a more flat, sharp appearance. The added stiffness makes rock filling less cumbersome for better installation times and reduced labor costs.
PRE-ASSEMBLED
Lane gabions are shipped flat (i.e. collapsed) with hinged panels
that easily fold into a rectangular basket. Sides are raised and
the seams temporarily fastened. The basket is placed and adjacent
edges permanently laced.
QUICKER ASSEMBLY
Once expanded and placed, gabions are simply and securely
interconnected with corkscrew spiral binders at each vertical
junction. Welded wire mesh gabions are assembled, placed and filled
considerably faster than their woven wire counterparts.
BETTER SHAPE CONTROL
Welded wire mesh provides shape control superior to twisted or
woven wire fabric. Diaphragms and preformed stiffeners brace
adjacent panels and provide added stiffness for even more shape
control.
ASTM A974
Lane gabions and mattresses are manufactured to the ASTM A974
standard, which also establishes minimum requirements for
preassembly of the baskets and mattresses for shipping. The wire
mesh used is galvanized or PVC coated for applications where
greater durability is desired.

Note: The gabions of length > 2 m, are divided into cells every 1 m by diaphragms, for the better retaining of the gabion shape during the filling with stones and the installation at the worksite
