Riprap Mesh, Gabion Mesh

The gabion mesh is mechanically woven from high corrosion-resistant, high-tensile, and ductile low-carbon steel wire, or the same wire coated with PVC. The box-like structure made from this mesh is known as a gabion box. The diameter of the low-carbon steel wire used complies with ASTM and EN standards and varies according to engineering design requirements, generally ranging from 2.0 to 4.0 mm. The tensile strength of the gabion wire is not less than 38 kg/m², and the weight of the metallic coating is typically above 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 be no less than 50 mm to ensure that the metallic and PVC coatings on the twisted wire are not damaged.
