Welded Gabion Erosion Control Units

Welded Gabion Erosion Control Units are stone-filled structures assembled from welded steel wire mesh panels. Base, side, end and diaphragm panels create defined compartments for controlled stone placement.
They are used for slope protection, drainage channels, embankments, riverbank sections and other erosion-control areas. Mesh opening, wire diameter, unit dimensions, coating and connection method are selected according to the site condition, filling stone and project specification.

Mesh Panels
Welded steel wires form fixed mesh openings and rigid panel sections. Panel dimensions are matched to the required unit length, width and height.
Diaphragm Panels
Internal diaphragms divide longer units into separate compartments. Spacing is selected according to unit length and the required stone distribution.
Panel Connections
Spiral binders, lacing wire or clips connect adjacent panels. The selected connection system follows the panel configuration and installation method.

Fixed Mesh Dimensions
Welded intersections maintain consistent mesh openings and defined panel geometry throughout fabrication.
Defined Stone Compartments
Diaphragm panels divide the unit into separate sections, providing controlled stone placement along the full unit length.
Project-Based Configuration
Mesh size, wire diameter, unit dimensions, coating and connection details can be specified together according to the intended installation.

Galvanized Steel Wire
Zinc-coated steel wire provides a metallic protective coating for outdoor erosion-control structures.
Zn-Al Coated Wire
Zn-Al coated steel wire can be specified for projects requiring a different metallic coating system and coating specification.
PVC-Coated Wire
PVC-coated wire adds a polymer layer over the metallic coating where the project specification calls for an additional protective surface.

Soil Surface Protection
Stone-filled units form a protective layer over exposed ground and reduce direct water impact on the soil surface.
Compartmented Filling
Internal diaphragms separate the structure into defined sections, helping maintain the intended stone distribution across the unit.
Water Flow
The open mesh and stone filling allow water to pass through the structure, making the units suitable for areas requiring both surface protection and drainage.

Mesh Opening
The mesh opening should correspond to the selected stone size. The filling stone should be large enough to remain within the mesh while allowing practical placement during installation.
Wire Diameter
3.0–4.0 mm wire can be selected for lighter configurations. 4.0–5.0 mm wire can be specified where greater panel rigidity is required by the project configuration.
Unit Dimensions
Length, width and height are determined from slope geometry, required coverage, installation access and stone availability. Longer units normally require suitable diaphragm spacing.

Slope Protection
Units can be installed along exposed slopes where surface runoff may cause soil loss.
Drainage Channels
Stone-filled units provide a permeable protective layer for channels carrying concentrated surface water.
Embankment Protection
They can be incorporated into erosion-control sections on road, drainage and infrastructure embankments.
Riverbank Sections
The compartmented stone-filled structure can be used for localized protection along riverbanks and water-edge areas.
 

Wire Preparation
Steel wire is processed to the specified diameter and surface treatment before mesh production.
Mesh Welding
Longitudinal and transverse wires are positioned to the specified spacing and welded at each intersection to form the panel.
Dimensional Checks
Mesh opening, wire diameter, panel length, width, height and diaphragm position are checked against the production specification.
Surface Inspection
Coating condition, weld points, panel geometry and connection components are inspected before packing.

Flat-Packed Panels
Panels can be bundled in flat-packed form to reduce transport volume and simplify loading, unloading and site handling.
Site Assembly
Base, side, end and diaphragm panels are connected according to the specified configuration before filling.
Stone Filling
Stone is placed progressively into each compartment. Filling sequence should maintain the panel shape and distribute stone across the defined sections.

A project specification can define unit length, width, height, mesh opening, wire diameter, coating, diaphragm spacing, connection components and required quantity.
For non-standard units, panel dimensions and compartment arrangements can be reviewed from project drawings before production. This allows the fabricated panel set to follow the required installation layout.
