Technical Details and Installation

We supply gabion box with specifications confirm to BS 8002:2015 requirements.

The nominal wire diameter for the mesh fabric is 3.80mm (4.3mm with coating) for the base, front, rear, end, diaphragm panels and lid, all within the tolerances specified in BS EN 10218-2:2012 and shall have a tensile strength that falls within a range of 540-770 N/mm2.Corrosion Resistance.
All wire used in the mesh fabric or accessories shall be Galfan coated (95% Zn/5% Al) in accordance with BS EN 10244-2:2009 (Class A) (minimum 275 g/m2).
An additional nominal thickness is applied of 0.5mm organic polymer powder coating for the mesh fabric and a nominal 0.5mm organic polymer powder coating for the lacing wire. This coating being in accordance with BS EN 10245-1:2011 and BS EN 10245-2:2011.

Gabion Infill Stone

Gabion infill stone used in gabion walls should be hard, angular to Round, durable, and of such quality that it cannot deteriorate or Fragment due to exposure to water or weathering during the design Life of the wall.
Gabion box infill stone should be 150mm nominal size but not less than 100mm and not greater than 200mm. The grading is important to ensure that Voids within the unit are minimized and no settlements can occur. The Infill stone size shall never be less than the mesh opening size.
Gabion infill stone shall be angular and placed flat to minimize voids and provide a dense stable mass. Gabion stone shall be handpicked After placing by machine. Stones to the front shall be selected and Hand placed to provide a neat finish.
The density of the infill used in gabion walls should be assessed According to the gradings and proportion of voids after placing. The Assumption for voids in design has been considered as 30% of the cage Volume. This value shall not be exceeded.
