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: The stone-filled permeable structure protects banks and slopes while supporting drainage and vegetation recovery.
- Ecological permeability: Stone-filled or open mesh structure supports drainage, pressure release, and ecological recovery.
- Roll and box supply: Available as rolls or assembled box units for bank protection, retaining walls, and drainage works.
- Stone interlock: The hexagonal woven surface interlocks with stone fill to form a stable protective layer.
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.
