What are gabions and what makes them so popular?Плетен габион от двойно-усукана хексогонална мрежа!

Gabions are high-strength combination of rock and double-twisted galvanized network. The composition of the gabions resembles reinforced concrete, but with the difference that the steel hexagonal mesh and the rock fragments do not have a monolithic connection with each other and do not distribute the so well stresses from the load. Steel mesh has high compressive and tensile strength characteristics, while stone material has high compressive strength.

There are different types of gabions according to the geometry, production technology and their purpose. In all cases, however, natural materials are used for their production – metals and rock materials. This, as well as the fact that gabions do not interfere with the development of vegetation around them, makes the gabion one of the most environmentally friendly building materials on the market. The combination of steel mesh and stone material gives the gabions their high strength and makes them resistant to external loads of its own weight, ground pressure, dynamic interactions and more.

What distinguishes knitted gabions welds from electric is the net. Knitted gabions are made of double-twisted wires forming hexagonal holes in the net. No welding is Двойно-усукана телена мрежа за плетен габион!used in their production and the geometry of the braided gabions is much freer than that of the electro welded gabions. The nets of the braided gabions are attached to a steel supporting structure, which ensures the geometric shape and integrity of the knitted gabions. Knitted gabions are economical as they do not require constant maintenance due to the protective coatings of the wires and their ability to withstand the challenges of nature.

Application of knitted gabions

Knitted gabions are mainly available in infrastructure, industrial and geotechnical construction. They have high strength characteristics, which makes them able to withstand huge loads of earth pressure and their own weight. Their looser shape compared to electric welded gabions does not make them a preferred choice in garden and landscape design. The most common applications of woven gabions are:

  • retaining walls of gabions for slopes and embankments;
  • strengthening landslides with gabions;
  • for road and railway sites;
  • to strengthen sea and river banks;
  • to strengthen riverbeds;
  • for dam walls;
  • for engineering equipment of different types;

Gabion engineering facilities

Плетен габион - изграждане на подпорни стени - Смарт Метал ГрупWhen laying new roads or railways, geological conditions do not always provide safe conditions for the construction and operation of infrastructure sites. It is necessary to limit the earth slopes so that they do not enter the territory of the engineering facilities. In most cases, it is necessary to implement retaining walls, which can reach impressive sizes. The implementation of a retaining wall is a complex and complex process, because like any reinforced concrete structure, it needs formwork, reinforcement and concrete. Its production, as well as the aging of the concrete, require a lot of time and constant care for the proper and gradual drying of the concrete. On the other hand, the performance of a gabion retaining wall is limited only to their installation. Knitted gabions have no less load-bearing capacity than a reinforced concrete element with the same geometric dimensions. Knitted gabions are suitable for the implementation of infrastructure projects, as they do not require a large amount of additional measures during their installation. Knitted gabions can also be used for the construction of artificial bulk facilities, when the available soils are weak or it is necessary to take on larger loads.

Hydraulic engineering is another area in which can be used gabions. Braided gabions are used to strengthen river and sea shores, where the abrasive action of water compromises coastal exploitation. Under the action of the waves, the earth’s soils are destroyed and carried away, which can lead to the destruction of ports, foundations of facilities, “swallowing” of roads and others. Knitted gabions are an excellent means of combating abrasion, as they are not subject to its influences. The rock fragments are resistant to the destructive action of water, and the protective coatings on the galvanized wires of the gabion protect against the corrosive action of water molecules. Knitted gabions are also suitable for construction on dam walls in combination with dense bulk materials.

Landslides continue to be a scourge for builders even in the 21st century. According to the construction legislation of the Republic of Bulgaria, the execution of constructions in landslide areas is strictly prohibited. However, landslide processes can be activated in already built-up areas, which in any case means only one thing – destruction. Landslides are the movement of earth masses on a slippery surface. Their prevention is a complex task, as there are many engineering solutions that can deter landslides. Gabions are an excellent means of limiting landslides, as they have the necessary structural stability to deter the forces caused by the earth’s pressure of the landslide. It is necessary to ensure strong and stable interconnections between the individual blocks of the gabion equipment, which must be secured against slipping and overturning. The placement of gabions in the heel of the landslide inhibits the movement of land masses and ensures the safe operation of the area.
