A lead wire gabion mesh, also known as a lead wire cage or gabion mesh, is a type of cage made of angular mesh (hexagonal mesh) woven with metal wires. It is usually braided with high-quality low-carbon steel wire, and the diameter of the steel wire can reach 20mm-4.0mm, and the surface is usually also protected by hot-dip galvanizing, and the galvanization amount can reach up to 300g m2. After this kind of cage is filled with stones at the construction site, it can form a flexible, permeable and integral structure, such as the anti-erosion project of retaining wall, river lining, weir and other supports.
Features of lead wire gabion mesh include:
Economical: simply put the stone into the cage seal, no special technique is required.
Easy construction: Because of its simple structure, it does not require special technical requirements, so the construction is convenient and fast.
Corrosion resistance and resistance to harsh weather effects: Due to the galvanized surface treatment, the structure has a strong resistance to corrosion and resistance to harsh weather influences.
Good permeability: The pores between the stones in the gabion net create conditions for water flow and realize the natural exchange between the water body and the soil, which not only enhances the self-purification ability of the water body, but also protects and improves the water quality.
Durability and stability: Due to its sturdy structure and corrosion resistance, lead wire gabion mesh has a long service life and stability.
Lead wire gabion mesh is widely used in various projects such as river control and flood control, flood dams, diversion dams, rock avalanche protection, soil erosion prevention, bridge protection, soil consolidation structure, coastal defense engineering, port engineering and retaining wall road protection.
