ASTM A 975 Kenya 2x1x1m Gabion Baskets , Lowes Gabion Stone Baskets

Woven gabion baskets refer to a rectangular box with double or triple twist hexagonal steel mesh fabric made form galfan wire or PVC wire. They are successfully applied to various rough conditions. Such as gabion retaining wall, gabion fence and gabion channels, etc.

Besides galvanizing, the extra PVC coating could provide stronger corrosion resistance ability. It is further extruded with 0.5mm thick PVC Coating. The PVC coating is UV stabilized as per ASTM A 975.

The wire used to manufacture double twisted gabion wire mesh is soft annealed, mild steel wire provided with heavy zinc coating as per EN 10244/ASTM A 641 to prevent corrosion.
 

Selvedge / Edge wire which is a thicker and heavier wire is used to reinforce the edges and transverse diaphragm. It gives greater rigidity and shape to the Gabion Basket.

The fabric of Galvanized Gabion Basket shall be triple-twisted hexagonal woven steel wire mesh complying with BS 1052. All wire used in the manufacture of the basket, diaphragm, binding, and connecting wire shall be galvanized as specified in BS 443, EN: 10244-2 with a coating of zinc by an electrolytic galvanizing process. The minimum weight of galvanizing shall be as given in Table. Zinc coatings shall be uniform and at all points more than 25 mm from a cut end, the coating shall be able to withstand a minimum number of dips and adhesion tests specified as per EN: 10244-2.

Specifications:

Application:

/ Gabion Mattress made from a hexagonal double twisted wire mesh with a mesh type 6x8. The wire mesh diameter is 2.2 mm. The wire mesh diameter is 2.2 mm.

Advantage:
1. Economy:gabions' structures are very simple,just fill the stone into the gabions then close the gabion ,the structure will be quickly finished,low maintenance required .
2. Durable:galvanized wire ,it could resist the natural destroy and corrosion etc,so the life time is longer.
3. Sludge in the stones is good for plant growing. Mixed to form a integrity with the natural environment.
4. Good permeation can prevent the damage by hydrostatic.
5. Easily construct, no special technology needed.
6. Strong capacity of withstand nature destroy, rust-resistance and atrocious weather resistance
7. Affording Large scale distortion, but never be defeated.
8. Excellent Penetrability, which can prevent from the whist by liquid.
9. Saving the transport costs. Which can fold while loading and transport, then assemble

STANDARD PARAMETERS OF / GABION MATTRESS:

Related standards for gabion

• Heavily zinc-coated steel wire conforming to ASTM A 641, Class 3 coating, soft temper;
• Zn-5Al-MM-Coated steel wire conforming to ASTM A 856/856M, Class 3, soft temper;
• The same type of metallic-coated steel wire as above, but with an additional PVC coating extruded onto the metallic-coated steel wire;

We always supply 3% lacing wire along with the material, which are used to assemble and interconnect empty units, to close and secure stone-filled units, and for internal stiffeners.

Packaging & Shipping

Baskets folded and bundled with steel wires, then with or without pallets as per customers' requirements.
