1. Engineering Superiority of Welded Gabion Boxes
JOESCO’s welded gabion boxes utilize high-tensile steel wire (3-5mm diameter) with rigid welded mesh panels (50×50mm to 100×100mm apertures), delivering 40% faster installation than woven alternatives. Key advantages include:
- Zero Deformation: Solid welds and corner stiffeners prevent structural distortion under rock-fill pressure.
- Extreme Corrosion Resistance: Triple-layer protection (including zinc coating starting at 245g/m² + PVC/Galfan options) for 50-year lifespan in coastal/saline environments.
- High-Velocity Flow Resistance: Withstands water flows up to 6 m/s – ideal for riverbanks and flood zones.
2. Modular Design & Customization
- Dimensions: 0.5×0.5×0.5m to 4.0×1.0×1.0m, with 0–3 internal diaphragms for load distribution.
- Connection Systems: Spiral binders, U-clips, or lacing wires for rapid assembly.
- Aesthetic Flexibility: Paintable mesh + natural stone infill enables landscape integration, such as gabion benches or planters.
3. Technical Specifications & Compliance
| Parameter | Value | Performance Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Mesh Aperture | 50×50mm, 75×75mm, 100×100mm | Optimal stone retention & scour prevention |
| Wire Diameter | 3.0–5.0mm (edges +0.5–1.0mm) | Resists rock impact deformation |
| Zinc Coating | Minimum 245g/m² (ASTM/EN compliant) | Salt-spray corrosion resistance |
| Flow Tolerance | 6 m/s | Monsoon/coastal current stability |
4. Field-Proven Applications
- Coastal Armor: Breakwaters reducing wave energy significantly compared to concrete.
- Riverbank Revetments: Hybrid systems combine RCC jetties with gabions to redirect currents and promote silt deposition.
- Slope Stabilization: Integrates with 3D erosion mats and layered gabion boxes for vegetation growth.
- Urban Infrastructure: Noise barriers, retaining walls, and landscape features with load capacity of 25kN/m².
