Detailed Product Description
Welded gabion mesh panels are rigid wire mesh cages manufactured by resistance welding steel wire at each intersection, forming a uniform rectangular or square grid. Per EN 10223-8 and ASTM A974, these panels offer higher structural rigidity than hexagonal woven gabions, selected by load class:
Standard Retaining Walls (<5m): 75x75mm aperture, 3.0-4.0mm wire, HDG >=275 g/m2. For conventional gravity retaining walls, where rigid geometry is preferred.
High Retaining Walls (5-12m): 75x75mm aperture, 4.0-5.0mm wire, Galfan coating for corrosion safety. Weld shear >=75% wire breaking load per EN 10223-8. Internal diaphragms every 1m control bulging under high fill pressure.
Bridge Abutment & Infrastructure: 50x75mm aperture, 4.0-5.0mm wire, Galfan coated. For transportation infrastructure loads.
Architectural & Landscape: 50x50-200x45mm aperture, 5.0-6.0mm wire, PVC coated (color optional). Clean welded appearance for visible feature walls, facades, and public spaces.
Supplied flat-packed with panels, lid, diaphragm, lacing wire and spiral binders. Custom dimensions and wire diameters supported for OEM and project-specific requirements.
