Welded Gabion Slope Protection Units

Welded Gabion Slope Protection Units are stone-filled structures assembled from welded steel wire mesh panels. Base, side, end and diaphragm panels form separate compartments for controlled stone placement.

They are used for slope protection, erosion control, drainage sections, road embankments, riverbank areas and landscape construction. Mesh opening, wire diameter, unit dimensions, coating and connection method are selected according to project drawings, site conditions and filling stone.

Welded Panels
Welded intersections maintain the specified mesh geometry and provide a fixed panel structure during handling and assembly.
Diaphragms
Internal partitions divide longer units into separate compartments and control the distribution of filling stone.
Edge Connections
Panel edges are joined using spiral binders or lacing wire according to the specified assembly method.

Steel Wire
Low-carbon steel wire is used for welded gabion panels where defined mesh geometry and panel rigidity are required.
Galvanized Wire
Galvanized wire provides a zinc-coated steel surface for outdoor installations and areas exposed to normal atmospheric moisture.
PVC-Coated Wire
PVC-coated galvanized wire adds a polymer covering over the steel wire where the project specification calls for an additional protective layer.
 

Stone Size
Mesh opening should be selected in relation to the specified filling stone so the stone remains contained within the completed unit.
Compartment Filling
The opening also affects how easily stone can be placed and distributed inside each compartment. The selected size should suit both the stone grading and unit geometry.

Panel Stiffness
Wire diameter influences panel rigidity, handling and resistance to deformation during assembly and filling.
Unit Dimensions
Longer or larger panels may require a different wire diameter from smaller configurations. Wire diameter should therefore be reviewed together with panel size and mesh opening.

Galvanized
Zinc-coated wire is suitable for common outdoor gabion applications where steel requires corrosion protection.
PVC Coated
A polymer outer layer over galvanized wire provides an additional surface barrier for specified exposure conditions.
Coating Control
Wire diameter, coating type and coating requirements should be defined in the purchase specification and checked during production inspection.

Slope Protection
Units can be placed along soil slopes and embankments to protect exposed surfaces against erosion.
Road Areas
Typical locations include road embankments, cut slopes, drainage sections and other engineered slope areas.
Water Zones
Stone-filled units can be used around drainage channels, riverbank sections and water-influenced ground where erosion protection is required.
Landscape Works
The units can form stone-filled retaining sections, garden slopes and other engineered landscape structures.
 

Unit Dimensions
Length, width and height should correspond with the slope layout, installation area and required stone volume.
Diaphragm Spacing
Partition spacing should be matched to unit length and the intended internal stone distribution.
Panel Set
A complete configuration normally consists of base, side, end and diaphragm panels with the required connection components.

Spiral Binders
Spiral binders connect adjacent panel edges and allow the flat panels to be assembled into three-dimensional units.
Lacing Wire
Lacing wire forms continuous tied connections along panel edges where this method is specified.
Component Matching
Connector diameter, quantity and configuration should correspond with the selected panel wire and unit dimensions.

Mesh Dimensions
Panel length, width, mesh opening and wire diameter should be checked against the approved specification.
Welded Joints
Weld locations and joint condition should be inspected to confirm consistent panel construction.
Surface Coating
Galvanized coating or polymer coating should be checked according to the specified coating requirements before packing.

Flat Packing
Panels can be stacked flat before installation, reducing package volume during storage and transportation.
Set Identification
Panels and connection components can be grouped by unit configuration to support accurate counting and site assembly.
Shipment Planning
Packing quantities should be coordinated with panel dimensions, unit quantities and project delivery requirements.

Filling Stone
Stone size and grading should be confirmed before selecting the mesh opening. The stone should suit the compartment dimensions and specified application.
Slope Geometry
Slope angle, installation length, drainage paths and working space should be reviewed before final panel dimensions are confirmed.
Project Design
Applications involving retaining loads or structural requirements should follow the project design, site conditions and applicable construction requirements.
