gabions – QiaoShi Wire Mesh Factory
maccaferri is known as the inventor of the modern gabion, and held the original gabion patent awarded in the late 1890s,QiaoShi hesco barrier - QiaoShi Wire Mesh Factory! today's maccaferri gabion is a rectangular wire mesh box made from double twisted hexagonal mesh of steel wire, additionally reinforced by selvedges of heavier wire running along the edges and by transverse diaphragms. these mesh boxes are delivered to site flat-packed,Bastion, whereupon they are assembled, lifted into position,studded t post, and filled with durable rock. the modular nature of the gabion means that it can be used in a vast array of applications and configurations. woven units can also be easily amended on site and shaped to suit project requirements.
maccaferri double twist woven mesh gabions are ideal for accommodating differential settlement,Barrier, and will not unravel or unzip even when exposed to extreme loads or when wires within the mesh are cut or damaged. no other retaining structure can accommodate differential settlements as well as a woven mesh gabion wall.
available in a variety of galvanised or with an additional polymer protective coating maccaferri gabions are also available in galfan coated units. galfan is a high performance galvanising process using a zinc/aluminium/mischmetal alloy coating. this offers significantly greater protection than traditional zinc galvanising. where the product is exposed to water courses or a saline environment, maccaferri strongly recommends a polymer coated galvanised unit for improved design life.
maccaferri woven mesh gabions are bba approved with a recommended design life of up to 120 years. see the bba certificates for more details.
