Welded gabion are made of welded wire fabrics. This kind of wire mesh container are uniformly welded and can be supplied of various sizes.

     Welded gabion can be connected with other similar containers and filled with stones to form flexible and permeable structures for retaining the riverbanks and soil.
The steel wire for making of welded  gabions is cold drawn high tensile steel zinc coated.
 

Advantages:
Gabions made of welded wire fabrics offer strong strength compared with woven wire gabions while they have similar flexibility.

Specification:

Welded gabions are manufactured from cold drawn steel wire and strictly conform to BS1052:1986 for tensile strength. It is then electrically welded together and Hot Dip Galvanised or Alu-Zinc coated to BS443/EN10244-2, ensuring a longer life. The meshes can then be organic polymer coated to safeguard against corrosion and other weather-ing effects, especially when the gabions are to be used in salty and highly polluted envi-ronments. Our Alu-Zinc* mesh is coated using the Galfan process.Lacing wire shall be provided separately for site assembly. Lacing Spirals (see photos below), Alu-Zinc and stainless steel C rings are also available at extra cost if required.

     Welded gabions are also available in Cylindrical and Sac form with diameters of 0.65m, 0.95m and in lengths of 2.0m and 3.0m.
