Gabions are wire containers made of hexagonal wire netting. Wire diameter varies with the hexagonal nettings. For hexagonal wire netting with no pvc coating, the wire diameter ranges from 2.0mm to 4.0mm. For those PVC coated hexagonal wire netting, the outside diameter ranges from 3.0mm to 4.0mm. The wire of the outside frame edge is one wire gauge thicker than the wire used for hexagonal wire netting.
Gabion is tough and can be designed to be an attractive material and design for fences, walls, retaining walls, benches and other structures. Check out all of these gabion wall and fence ideas.

Retaining wall is an important structure of any infrastructure. Due to research and advancement in Civil Engineering use of new types of retaining walls are very much common in recent construction scenario. Gabion retaining wall is one of the new types of retaining wall. Gabion wall consists of stone filled metallic mesh boxes which are tied together to form a shape of retaining wall. Gabion wall is very much common nowadays due to its simplicity, speedy construction, and flexibility. In spite of massive structure of Gabion wall there are possibilities of Gabion wall failures. Literature review shows that very less information is reported on failures of Gabion wall. This paper focused on defects/ failures observed in existing Gabion walls. Total 11 sites of existing Gabion walls around Pune district (India) are considered for the study. Investigations of these sites are made to identify various defects/failures with possible reasons. Remedial measures to overcome these deflect/failures are also suggested. Such a study will be helpful not only to avoid failures but also to provide a basis for possible research and modifications in the Gabion wall. Index Terms: Gabion wall, Defects/ failure of Gabion wall, Bulging, Corrosion.
Features:
Economic. Just fill the stone into the gabions and seal it.
Simple installation. No special technology needed.
Weather proof under natural destroy, corrosion resistant.
No collapse even under big scope of deforming.
Sludge in the stones is good for plant growing. Mixed to form a integrity with the natural environment.
Good permeation can prevent the damage by hydrostatic.
Less transport freight. It can be folded together for transport and further installation.
Gabion boxes applications:
Control and guide of water or flood;
Flood bank or guiding bank;
Preventing of rock breaking;
Water and soil protection;
Bridge protection;
Strengthening structure of soil;
Protection engineering of seaside area.

Product Introduction:
Welded Gabion is made of Welded Wire Mesh panels assembled with spirals, locking pins and stiffener. Each gabion panel is composed of rugged high tensile wire coated by a thick, corrosion-resistant layer of zinc. The wire is also available with a tough, durable pvc coating. Welded Gabion could be used for prefilled on site construction which is quick and easy. They have a variety of applications such as retaining walls for commercial, industrial and road project, landscaping, erosion control.
Material: Low carbon iron wire, hot dip galvanized iron wire, stainless steel wire,
