What is Gabion Box?

Gabion Box is made of high-strength steel wire woven into hexagonal mesh, or high-tension iron wire welded into square or rectangular mesh, and then assembled into a box. Its design is flexible and the size and shape can be adjusted according to the project requirements. Gabion wire baskets have excellent compressive strength and durability, can be naturally integrated with the surrounding environment, and have been widely used in modern engineering.

Advantages and Features

1. Easy to assemble and disassemble: Gabion Box usually adopts a modular design, which is easy to assemble and disassemble, and convenient for transportation and construction.

2. Flexibility and adaptability: Woven gabion baskets are flexible and can adapt to the settlement and deformation of the foundation, reduce cracks caused by settlement, effectively absorb impact force, and reduce the impact of disasters such as earthquakes on the project.

3. High strength and durability: The mesh box is made of high-strength steel wire with high tensile strength and compressive strength. If the surface is galvanized or PVC-coated, it will provide good corrosion resistance.

4. Water permeability and drainage: It can effectively reduce the impact of water pressure on the structure and prevent engineering damage caused by water accumulation.

5. Eco-friendly: Since it is mainly made of metal wire, it can be recycled, and the inside can be filled with stones and vegetation. The water permeability and air permeability promote ecological harmony.

6. Eco-efficient: Galvanised gabion boxes have a high cost-effectiveness, their material cost is relatively low, and the maintenance cost is low, which improves economic benefits.

7. Strong adaptability: Wire basket rock retaining walls can adapt to various complex terrains and climatic conditions and are widely used in various civil engineering projects.

8. Aesthetics: It can be personalized and filled with stones of different colors and shapes to form a beautiful landscape effect. The appearance is natural and well integrated into the environment, which improves the overall aesthetics of the project.

Functions and Applications

1. Slope protection and bank protection: Hexagonal gabion boxes can be used for slope protection and bank protection projects in rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and other waters to effectively prevent soil erosion and reduce river siltation.

2. Flood prevention and disaster resistance: When natural disasters such as floods occur, gabion can be used as a temporary or permanent flood barrier to protect surrounding areas from floods.

3. Landscape construction: Due to its unique shape and permeability, landscape facilities such as gabion planter boxes can be used as flower beds, walls, and trails are built.

4. Roads and railways: In the protection projects along roads and railways, a gabion box retaining wall can be used to prevent slope landslides and falling rocks, and to reinforce the roadbed.

5. Coastal protection and breakwaters: They can effectively prevent the erosion of the coast by waves.

6. Retaining wall and dam reinforcement: It can prevent soil sliding and collapse, and is an ideal choice for retaining walls and dam reinforcement.

How many types of Gabion Box are there?

Gabion, Welded Gabion, PET Gabion, Defensive Barrier. In fact, they all belong to the gabion rock box, but they represent different types. Then we can divide them into the following types according to their uses and structures:

1. Rectangular gabion box

This is the most common type of gabion box, usually used for river bank protection, slope stabilization, retaining walls, and other projects. Its structure is simple, easy to install, and can effectively prevent soil erosion and landslides.

2. Cylindrical gabion box

It is mainly used for river channel regulation, dam reinforcement, and other projects. Its unique shape can better adapt to the impact of water flow and reduce the erosion of water flow on the river bank.

3. Slope protection gabion box

Slope protection PVC-coated gabion wire mesh is usually used for protection projects on hillsides, highway slopes and other places. Its structural design can effectively prevent slope landslides and soil loss, and has good water permeability.

4. Ecological gabion box

This is a GI gabion box combined with an ecological protection function, usually used in river channel regulation, wetland protection, and other projects. Not only can the interior be filled with stones, but vegetation can also be planted to promote ecological restoration.

5. Reinforced gabion box

This is a reinforced version of the gabion basket. Reinforcement ribs are added to the ordinary gabion box to improve its overall strength and stability. This type of gabion box is usually used in projects that need to withstand greater pressure, such as retaining walls, dams, etc.

Gabion box specifications you need to know

When choosing a box gabion, in addition to the common length, width, and height parameters, you also need to clarify the following specifications.

Mesh size: Usually 60mm x 80mm, 80mm x 100mm, 100mm x 120mm, etc. The choice of mesh size depends on the particle size of the filling stone to ensure that the stone does not leak out of the mesh.

Wire diameter: The wire diameter of the wire mesh gabion box is usually between 2.0mm and 4.0mm. The choice of wire diameter depends on the strength and durability required for the project. Common wire diameter specifications are 2.2mm, 2.7mm, 3.0mm, etc.

Box size: It can be customized, and common sizes are 2m x 1m x 1m, 3m x 1m x 1m, 4m x 1m x 1m, etc. The size of the box can be adjusted according to the application.

Surface treatment: The steel wire of the wire rock baskets is usually galvanized, Galfan, or PVC coated to enhance its corrosion resistance. The thickness of the galvanized layer is generally 200g/m² to 300g/m², while the thickness of the PVC coating is 0.5mm to 1.0mm.

How is the Gabion box made?

1. Material selection

Choose high-strength steel wire as the raw material, usually low-carbon steel wire or galvanized steel wire. The diameter of the steel wire and the thickness of the galvanized layer are determined by the project.

2. Woven/welded mesh

The weaving machine weaves the steel wire into a mesh with hexagonal mesh. Or weld the steel wire into a mesh with a square or rectangular mesh, and the size and wire diameter are adjusted according to the project.

3. Surface treatment

The surface of the gabion mesh is galvanized, galvanized, or PVC coated. You can also directly choose galvanized wire or plastic-coated iron wire in the previous step and then weave or weld it to enhance its corrosion resistance.

4. Assemble the box

Assemble the mesh into a box by tying wire or hinges. The size and shape of the box can be customized. Common box shapes include rectangular, cylindrical, etc.

5. Filling stones

The particle size of the stone should be selected according to the mesh size to ensure that it will not leak out.

6. Sealing and fixing

After filling the stones, seal the lid of the mesh box and fix it by tying a wire or hinge.

Gabion box price

The price of gabion cages is affected by factors such as raw materials, wire diameter, mesh size, box size, surface treatment process, transportation, and order quantity.

Material cost

The main material of gabion boxes is steel wire. The prices of galvanized steel wire, galvanized steel wire, and PVC coated steel wire are different. Usually, the price of galvanized steel wire is lower, while the price of PVC coated steel wire is higher.

2. Specifications and dimensions

The specifications and dimensions of gabion baskets directly affect their prices. Larger gabion cages require more materials and more complex production processes, so the price is higher.

3. Surface treatment

The price of galvanized treatment is lower, while the price of galvanized and PVC coated gabion boxes is higher.

4. Transportation costs

The longer the transportation distance, the higher the transportation costs, and the total price will also increase.

5. Order quantity

The greater the demand, the more volume discounts can be enjoyed, thereby reducing the unit price.

According to market conditions, the price of gabion cages is usually between US$6.85 and US$20.55 per square meter. The specific price needs to be determined by contacting our professional technicians.
