Application and Advantages:
Gabions, by virtue of their matchless strength, excellent engineering adaptability and proven reliability, have become the chosen building material for the tremendous variety of construction works. These includes road construction, Retaining walls, Water recharge dams, soil erosion protection, Bridge protection, Coastal defence, Harbour works, River training works, Culverts, weirs & Rock slide protection works.
Flexibility. Ability tolerate different settlement without fracture allowing the structure to withstand any unpredictable movement or settlement without loss or stability. This property is very important when a structure is on unstable ground or in an area where scour from waves or currents can undermineit. Strength. Our products are designed to withstand and absorb the forces generated by retained earth or flowing water. Higher resistance to natural forces due to better tensile strength. Permeability. Our products combine drainage and retention functions becoming ideal structures for slope stabilization. Durability. Our products efficiency increases instead of decreasing with age since further consolidation takes place as silt and soil collect in the voids and vegetation becomes established. Economy. Simple & speedy installation , using natural or quarried stones obtained locallyno skilled labor, minimum foundation preparation, no costly drainage systems. Environmental friendly. The Gabion structure blends easily and harmoniously with natural surroundings. They allow the growth of vegetation maintain the existing environment and are suitable for decorative landscaping. Site Preparation
The ground on which Gabion structure is to be erected must be firm & even. Excavation, backfilling & compaction of filling work shall be carried out.
Forming & Lacing of Gabion boxes & mattresses
The gabion boxes are unfolded & laid on prepared ground. The kinks & creases in the boxes can be easily stamped out and levelled manually. The individual sheets are straightened flat & then systematically folded to form an exact rectangular shape. All the sides , diaphragms are laced with lacing wire with lacing procedure. The boxes or group of laced boxes are positioned at the required location to match the structural design accurately.
