Detailed Product Description
The best's a rectangular woven wire mesh box. Its strength lies in its double twisted hexagonal mesh of steel wire which is reinforced by selvedges of heavier wire running along the edges and by transverse diaphragms.
The protective coating is typically either:
heavily zinc galvanised wire
as above PLUS heavy duty PVC coating
galmac (galfan) coated with a 95%Zinc + 5% Aluminium Mischmetal Alloy
as above PLUS heavy duty PVC coating
Galmac (or Galfan) wire units offer enhanced durability, and are available upon request. This coating type is the most durable wire coating available internationally and is being increasingly used within Australia to ensure structures achieve a longer design life (2 to 3 times more durable than zinc coatings of the same mass), thereby significantly reducing the life-cycle cost of the structure.
Best have significant advantages as retaining wall structures, including C
Permeability of the front face, ensuring drainage of backfill and no hydrostatic pressures behind the wall
Flexibility, ensures the woven mesh gabions accommodate different setlements unlike rigid systems eg. welded mesh cages
Ease of construction
One of the most economical retaining systems on the market
Incorporation as required of vegetation throughout the structure
Versatility, as the structure can be formed with a vertical, battered or stepped front face as required.
