Hexagonal GABIONS are double-twisted wire mesh baskets of variable sizes, uniformly partitioned into internal cells, interconnected with other similar units. They are filled with stone at the project site to form flexible, permeable, monolithic structures, such as retaining walls, sea walls, channel linings, revetments and weirs for erosion control projects.
Gabion structures are able to develop and integrate with the surrounding environment, permitting the preservation or restorations of the natural environment. They are often used by architects as decorative elements of the landscape.
The wire mesh used for the gabions is fabricated from heavily galvanized coated wire conforming to BS443 Standards; and woven into double-twisted hexagonal shaped mesh. The double-twist of the woven wire mesh provides integrity, strength and continuity to the structure by adding a non-raveling effect that prevents any accidental damage from spreading.
When gabions are to be placed in aggressive environments, an additional Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) coating can be applied on the galvanized coated wire by extrusion before the weaving of the mesh. The PVC coating will protect the wire and provide further resistance against chemical, biological and corrosive agents.
Mesh:
The mesh shall be woven into a hexagonal pattern with the joints formed by twisting each pair of wires through three and a half turns. Because of this appearance, the joints are often termed triple twisted. The mesh opening shall be hexagonal in shape and uniform in size measuring 2-1/2 inches by 3-1/4 inches.
Wire:
All wire used in the fabrication of the gabion mattress and in the lacing operations shall conform to Federal Specification QQ-W-461H, Class 3, Finish 5, soft, and have an average tensile strength in accordance with the current ASTM A 641, Table 2, measured before fabrication of the netting. The nominal diameter of the wire used in the fabrication of the netting shall be 0.0866 inches minimum, subject to diameter tolerance in accordance with the current ASTM A 641, Table 3.
Elongation of Wire:
Tests shall be conducted on the wire before fabrication on the mattress on a sample 12 inches long. Elongation shall not be less than 12%.
Zinc Coating (Galvanizing):
All wire used in the fabrication and construction of the gabion mattress shall be galvanized according to ASTM A 641, Table 1. The minimum weight of the zinc coating shall be according to the table following when tested in accordance with ASTM A 90.
| Description | Nominal Diameter of Wire | Minimum Weight of Coating |
| Mesh and Lacing | 0.0866 inches (2.2mm) minimum | 0.70 ozs / sq ft |
| Selvedge | 0.106 inches (2.7mm) minimum | 0.80 ozs / sq ft |
Adhesion of the zinc coating to the wire shall be capable of being wrapped in a close helix at a rate not exceeding 15 turns per minute around a cylindrical steel mandrel having a diameter 3 times the nominal wire diameter being tested. After the wrap test is completed, the wire shall not exhibit any cracking or flaking of the zinc coating to such an extent that any zinc can be removed by rubbing with bare fingers.
Selvedges:
All edges of the mattress including end panels and the diaphragms, shall be mechanically connected in such a way as to prevent unraveling of the mesh and to develop the full strength of the mesh. The wire used for the selvedge shall have a diameter greater than that of the wire used to form the mesh.
Lacing Wire:
Sufficient lacing and connecting wire shall be supplied with the gabion mattress for all wiring operations. The nominal diameter of lacing wire shall be 0.0866 inches minimum.
Diaphragms:
According to engineering and design requirements the mattress shall incorporate internal diaphragms to form cells having a nominal length of three feet. The internal diaphragms shall prevent rock migration within the gabion mattress unit.
Stone Size:
The DURA-FLEX™ Heavy Duty Mattress was designed specifically to accommodate stone size of 3 to 6 inches (75 -105mm). Only hard durable stone shall be used as mattress fill.
Installation / Placement:
On channel slopes, the mattress shall be placed perpendicular to the flow in the channel with the shorted dimensions of the diaphragm going up and down the slope. On the channel bed, the mattress shall be placed so the flow runs parallel with the short dimension of the mattress compartment, while the width of the mattress runs across the channel bed. An approved corner closure tool shall be used to adjoin adjacent mattresses to insure a tight, neat seam and minimize mattress wire joint deformation.
