HESHUO COMPANY specializes in the distribution of gabion baskets and mattresses made of heavily galvanized and PVC coated wire. Our gabions meet or exceed ASTM and other international standards. We follow rigorous quality procedures and inspections thorough the production process.

GABIONS DESCRIPTION

GABIONS (Greater than 1' in height) and MATTRESSES (Less than 1' in height) consist of rectangular units, fabricated from a double-twisted hexagonal mesh. Filled with stones, gabions become large, flexible and permeable elements from which a broad range of structures may be built. Gabions and mattresses are widely used for hydraulic and geo- technical control such as retaining walls, riverbank protections, weirs, channel linings etc.

GABIONS or MATTRESSES are divided into cells with diaphragms (usually spaced at 1 meter or 3’ intervals), whose function is to reinforce the structure. The mesh (except for the diaphragms) is reinforced on all edges with wires of a larger diameter to strengthen the gabions and facilitate the assembly and installation.

SPECS:
1) Zinc-Coated Steel Wire as per ASTM a 641, Class 3 Coating, soft temper.
2) PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) Coated, Electro Galvanized First.
3) Zn - 5Al - MM Coated Steel Wire as per ASTM A 856/A 856M, Class 3 coating, soft temper

DOUBLE-TWISTED HEXAGONAL MESH:
A double-twisted wire mesh is a non-raveling mesh made by twisting continuous pairs of wires through three one half (1⁄2) turns (commonly called double-twisted) to form hexagonal shaped openings which are then interconnected to adjacent wires to form hexagonal openings. We can supply double-twisted hexagonal mesh in rolls of 1 x 50mtrs, 2 x 50mtrs, the widest can be 2.3mtrs. The wire mesh can be used to protect rock fall.
