Gabion Mesh Structural Technology

The core process of gabion mesh is the braiding technique, which involves interlocking metal wires into diamond-shaped grids using specialized machinery. The specific workflow is as follows:

Wire Preparation  

Based on the application, appropriate wire materials (such as low-carbon steel wire or stainless steel wire) are selected. The diameter and strength are calibrated through wire drawing to ensure uniform thickness and a smooth surface.

Braiding and Forming

- Machine Braiding: Gabion mesh machines process the metal wires into flat spiral semi-finished products, which are then interwoven spirally to form the mesh structure.  

- Weaving Methods:  

  - Fold-Edge Binding: The edges of the mesh are reinforced by folding the wire, making them suitable for scenarios requiring high stability.  

  - Twist-Edge Locking: The edge wires are tightly twisted and secured to prevent unravelling, enhancing overall durability.  

- Mesh Control: By adjusting machine parameters, each diamond-shaped mesh is ensured to have uniform dimensions (common range: 45mm×45mm to 70mm×70mm), resulting in a flat and undistorted mesh surface.

Post-Processing 

- Cutting and Joining: The mesh is cut to the required dimensions, allowing on-site adjustments. Cross-folding of wire ends is used to achieve a taut mesh surface.  

- Post Connection: Steel pipes with a diameter of 75mm are used as posts. Connection is achieved through snap-fit or battle-axe-style methods, eliminating the need for welding. Fixation methods include embedded parts and expansion bolts, ensuring easy installation and firm stability.
