Gabion & Reno mattress
Gabion basket is a welded or woven wire container like cylinder or box filled with stones, rocks, gravels and concretes. Originally, gabion baskets are used to civil engineering, military applications and soil erosion control. Now, an increasing number of gabion baskets are used to decorate gardens, yards, homes and landscapes. The rustic appearance of gabion basket wall brings a special and comfortable feeling to citizens who are bored with concrete structure.
Weak point of gabion structure depends on the wire. To prevent gabion failure, heavier wire are employed than the ones on the market. The most common used wire is galvanized wire which can resist corrosion and rust in wet environment. PVC coated and galfan coated wire have better performance than galvanized and have longer life expectancy.
Gabion baskets advantages:
Durable
Permeable
Adaptable
Economical
Environmentally Friendly
Applications
Gabions are rectangular woven wire mesh baskets filled with rock to form flexible Permeable ,monolithic structures such as retaining walls. They are used for commerical industrial and road projects.
They are also used for erosion control,bank stabilisation, architectural and urban design features, noise attenuation structures,thermal rock banks and weirs.
Due to their flexible nature,Xinboyuan gabions are used mainly for riverbank and scour protection, channelling for erosion control, and embankment stability.
They are filled with rock at the project site to form flexible, permeable,monolithic structures to promote rapid growth of natural vegetation.
Gabion mattress
Gabion mattress is flat-shaped after assembly. It has longer length and lower height than gabion basket. This shape is ideal for protecting riverbed and river slopes where gabion basket fails.
Gabion mattress is manufactured by woven or welded gabions. They are filled with rocks and stones on the spot to form a monolithic and flexible construction. They are used for bank and scour protection, channel linings for preventing soil loss and embankment stability.
Architectural Features
Gabions Box & Reno Mattress are not only robust and durable, but when filled with a locally available rock, a natural rock wall finish can be achieved.
Impressive entrances and feature walls are easily achieved by discerning rock selection. Varying rock sizes and types in a project can achieve spectacular results.
Environmentally Friendly
Xinboyuan gabions are environmentally fr
iendly solutions.Blending of gabions and reno mattress into the environment is rapid,especially when used in combination with erosion control blankets and bio-engineering techniques.
The voids in the rockfill in reno mattress become progressively filled with silt,
Promoting vegetation growth essential to preserving ecological balance in the surrounding environment.
Installation
Using appropriate installation information, as well as our specialised supplementary products,contractors can achieve a structurally sound,aesthetically pleasing result.
pneumatic lacing tools have been developed for use with gabions &reno mattress,terramesh and woven mesh rockfall drapery systems.they are available for hire from your local geofabrics offices,offering an alternative to standard hand lacing methods and
