Welded wire gabions and woven ones have different advantages and processing.
Main differences:
The opening types of the woven gabionswoven gabions are normally hexagonal with wires twisted, while the welded gabions are normally square opening or diamond opening.
Processing involved: Woven gabions are made by twisting of wire, while welded gabions are made by welding of steel wire.
Both are popular structure units for retaining, geogrid and reinforcing.
When evaluating the benefits of welded mesh gabions, it is important to consider these points:
TENSILE STRENGTH
JOINT STRENGTH / PULL-APART RESISTANCE
SALT SPRAY TESTS
PUNCH TESTS
FLEXIBILITY
DIMENSIONAL ACCURACY
PVC COATING
INSTALLATION
TENSILE STRENGTH
Welded Gabions are made from rigid,lightweight,galvanized steel mesh that allows for machine filling, holds the alignment of the face, they are faster to erect and do not need tensioning. This allows them to keep their shape,to be free from bulges and depressions and fit easily against the wall.
Welded mesh gabions offer the same flexibility as twisted mesh gabions with greater strength.
Welded wire gabios takes less man-hours in installation than the hexagonal gabion, at about 40%. Compared with hexagonal wire mesh, welded wire mesh can better maintain the "cage".
Advantages Of Gabion Cages &#; Gabions have been used for centuries. They are large cages made from steel wire either constructed using weld mesh or woven wire.
Weld mesh gabions have become more popular in recent time for retaining applications where installers and consumers gain installation efficiency, increased life cycle and aesthetic value.
The Urban Kubez gabions are produced with quality Australian made weld mesh steel for these reasons.
Gabion walls require limited footing preparation. They can be linked together in modular fashion creating 1 continuous strong structure.
This linked configuration, once gabions are filled with rock, becomes very heavy and robust.
The characteristics make gabions the optimum choice where soil stabilisation and erosion control are primary factors.
The weight and form of gabion walls will resists pressures of shifting soil and water flow where other retaining system fail.
In addition to their stability advantages of gabion cage retaining walls include flexibility to shift with ground earth without cracking, splitting or loosing integrity.
Quality weld mesh gabions such as the Urban Kubez meets Australian and International standards for gabion structures.
Retaining walls that are constructed of concrete, timber, blocks etc will over time suffer from hydro-static pressure (water build behind the wall).
Hydro-static pressure is common among standard retaining walls and is the common cause of failure within a short period of time unless significant cost and effort is made to design special footings and drainage systems.
Gabions do not suffer from the same problem, rather, water simply runs straight through the rock fill dissipating quickly.
Over time small particles of soil will find their way into the gabion where propogation of small plants will occur rooting-in effectively creating a natural green wall and stabilising the gabion structure even further.
Depending on the application gabions are available in many size congurations.
Generally for civil projects woven gabion baskets are utilised in either traditional boxes or alternatively low profile mattresses.
Urban Kubez weld mesh gabions are available in sizes ranging from :
Lengths &#; 500, , , mm
Widths &#; 300, 500, , , mm
Heights &#; 300, 500, , , mm
There are many advantages of gabion cages to consider when comparing against other systems on the market. Despite whether your installing a small gabion rock wall at home or a civil contractor installing a mega structure the advantages remain the same.
When utilise Urban Kubez Australian made gabions you can be assured:
Gabion walls can be installed by construction contractors, landscapers or DIY .
