The gabion box, gabion mattress, gabion basket, stone cage gabion wall are unfolded & laid on prepared ground. The kinks & creases in the boxes can be easily stamped out and levelled manually. The individual sheets are straightened flat & then systematically folded to form an exact rectangular shape. All the sides, diaphragms are laced with lacing wire with lacing procedure. The boxes or group of laced boxes are positioned at the required location to match the structural design accurately.
Gabion Box have the following positive advantages:
1, Cost effective & environmentally friendly alternative to concrete system.
2, The Gabion structure blends easily and harmoniously with natural surroundings.
3, Simple & speedy installation, using natural or quarried stones obtained locally.
4, Ability to deform without cracking allowing the structure to withstand any unpredictable movement.
5, Higher resistance to natural forces due to better tensile strength.
6, Permeable: A Gabion structure allows water to pass through, water pressure cannot build up behind it and the structure is continuously.
7, Easy to transport: It can be folded together for transport and further installation.
8, Majority of manpower need not to be skilled & speed at which the work is carried out is unparalleled in civil engineering, besides making it cost effective.
9, Easy of repair to any damaged cages, with minimal expense.
10, Applications are as Channels, Rock fall, Roadside and Culverts protection and many more purposes.
