Riprap Mesh / Gabion Mesh

The gabion mesh is mechanically woven from high corrosion-resistant, high-tensile, and ductile low-carbon steel wire, or wire coated with PVC. The box-like structures made from this mesh are known as gabion boxes. The diameter of the low-carbon steel wire used, in accordance with ASTM and EN standards, varies based on engineering design requirements, generally ranging from 2.0 to 4.0 mm. The tensile strength of the gabion wire must be no less than 38 kg/m², and the weight of the metallic coating is typically greater than 245 g/m². The diameter of the edge line of the gabion mesh is generally larger than the wire diameter. The length of the double twisted section must not be less than 50 mm to ensure that the metallic and PVC coatings on the twisted wire are not damaged.
