Gabion Basket Galvanised Steel
Galvanized gabion beskets are used in the construction of airports and other projects, and also for blast barriers for military purposes. Galvanized wire mesh mats or basket meshes are mainly composed of square or rectangular open welded plates. The gabion baskets are rectangular in shape, which makes them easy to lay and strong in construction.
Riverbank projects face constant hydraulic shear stress, water abrasion, and fluctuating wet/dry cycles. Ordinary galvanized mesh can rust prematurely when exposed to acidic water or UV radiation.
Our PVC Coated Gabions provide a double layer of protection. The core is high-tensile galvanized or Galfan steel, encased in a heavy-duty PVC sleeve. This design isolates the steel from the corrosive environment, ensuring a structural lifespan of 50–70 years in riverine and maritime applications.
Strategic Advantages for Hydraulic Engineering
1. Exceptional Corrosion Resistance
Our PVC coating is specifically formulated to resist UV degradation and chemical corrosion found in river silt and agricultural runoff. It remains flexible in temperatures ranging from -30°C to +60°C without cracking.
2. Hydraulic Permeability
Unlike rigid concrete linings, gabion structures are naturally porous. They allow the free flow of groundwater, eliminating the build-up of hydrostatic pressure that causes many retaining walls to fail.
3. Bio-Engineering & Ecological Restoration
