Riverbank Protection
Used for riverbanks, embankments, and channel slopes under water flow and settlement.
Gabion Mesh for Riverbank Protection, Slope Stabilization, and Retaining Works
Gabion mesh is a flexible double-twisted wire mesh system filled with stone on site to protect banks, slopes, channels, and retaining structures. Its permeable structure releases water pressure and adapts to minor ground movement better than rigid lining.
For river training, embankment repair, road slopes, or landscape retaining walls, mesh opening, wire diameter, coating, roll size, and edge wire can be selected around project drawings and exposure conditions.
Product Advantages
- Ecological protection: Designed around ecological protection to match key engineering needs more directly.
- Ecological permeability: Stone-filled or open mesh structure supports drainage, pressure release, and ecological recovery.
- Flexible installation: Can be assembled and connected on site according to terrain, bank line, or design requirements.
- Custom specifications: Size, material, surface treatment, and accessories can be adjusted by drawings or project requirements.
- Easy maintenance: Clear structure supports later inspection, local replacement, and routine maintenance.
Structure
Gabion Mesh is made from double-twisted hexagonal steel wire mesh with selvedge wires, lacing wire, and optional diaphragms. It can be supplied in rolls or fabricated units, and after stone filling it forms a permeable, flexible protection structure that resists scour and adapts to ground movement.
Working Principle
Gabion Mesh works by confining loose stones inside a flexible wire mesh so the fill behaves as one continuous mass. The voids between stones allow water to drain and reduce pressure, while the flexible mesh can deform with minor settlement, helping the structure remain stable under scour, slope movement, and retaining loads.
