Knitted gabions - a reliable way to strengthen

Gabions are structures that are increasingly used in construction and reinforcement work. Their structural characteristics make them a preferred tool in infrastructure, industrial and geotechnical construction. Gabions have high strength characteristics, thanks to which they can withstand very high loads caused by ground pressure, own weight or other.

How are knitted gabions made?

Knitted gabions are a variety of gabions and are made of double-twisted galvanized wire, standard thickness F3.00 mm. Usually the hexagonal hole, which is obtained as an "gabion eye", is 80x100 mm in size. Because the gabion itself is "braided" rather than "electrowelded", its structure is looser and "fits" with the surface below and above it. Different sizes are produced as sizes, but among the most frequently used are the gabions with size 500x500x500 mm.

The cells of the knitted gabions are closed (tied) with the help of galvanized wire or galvanized brackets and filled with rock inert material. The braided net plays a retaining function, preventing the displacement of the rock pieces. In this way, they fit into the metal cage itself and can withstand very high loads.

The most common applications of gabion 50x50x50 cm

construction of retaining walls on slopes, embankments, terrains;

fortification of landslides and to prevent collapses;

strengthening of sea and river banks, riverbeds, dam walls and others;

terracing of yard and garden and others.

Characteristics of knitted gabions 50x50x50 cm

Thanks to the way they are made, knitted gabions acquire exceptional load capacity, high tensile and compressive strength. Unlike electric welded gabions, which are made of metal electric welded hard grids, knitted gabions can withstand high loads without breaking.
