What are the advantages of gabion boxes

Gabion cages refer to box-shaped cages made of heavy hexagonal mesh, so they are called "gabion cages or gabion cages". In Europe, they are also called gabions and gabion cages. Gabion cages are filled with stones at the construction site to form a flexible, permeable and integrated structure, such as retaining walls, river linings, weirs and other anti-erosion projects. Gabion cages are divided into several cells by partitions (double-twisted hexagonal metal mesh) with a distance of 1 meter. In order to enhance the strength of the gabion cage structure, all the edges of the surface mesh plates are made of thicker diameter steel wire. Control and guide rivers and floods, spillways and diversion dams, rock collapse protection, prevention of water and soil erosion, bridge maintenance, soil consolidation structure, seaside protection projects, port projects, retaining walls, road protection. Gabion (gabion) is a cage made of angular mesh (hexagonal mesh) woven with metal wires. The diameter of the metal wire used is different according to the size of the hexagon. If it is a metal-plated hexagonal wire, use a wire diameter of 2.0mm to 4.0mm. If it is a hexagonal mesh woven with PVC-coated metal wire, use a PVC (metal) wire with an outer diameter of 3.0mm to 4.5mm. The wire at the edge of the outer frame should be one size thicker than the hexagonal wire. (1) Economical. Just put the stones into the cage and seal it. (2) Simple construction, no special skills required. (3) Strong ability to resist natural damage, corrosion and adverse weather conditions. (4) Able to withstand large-scale deformation without collapse. (5) The silt between the gaps between the cage stones is conducive to plant production and can be integrated with the surrounding natural environment. (6) It has excellent permeability and can prevent damage caused by hydrostatics. (7) Save transportation costs. It can be folded for transportation and installed on site. (8) Environmentally friendly. Cadmium (cd) <10ppm, lead (Pb) <50ppm, other harmful substances such as mercury (Hg), hexavalent chromium (Cr6+), polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) were not detected, which fully complies with the environmental protection standards of RoSH. Self-permeability: There are more pores between the filling stones in the gabion box, which is conducive to the discharge of pore water in the fill after the layout, reducing the pore water pressure in the soil, ensuring the shear strength of the soil, and is conducive to the stability of the entire structure; at the same time, it saves the associated costs of drainage equipment required for traditional retaining structures and reduces the overall cost of the structure. Vegetation: The pore water in the gabion box creates conditions for water flow and realizes the natural exchange of water and soil, which makes the natural growth of vegetation a reality. After a period of time, the structure and nature are truly in harmony.
