• Flexible structure with strong deformation resistance: The gabion features a hexagonal woven structure that disperses loads through self-deformation under force, adapting to foundation settlement or slope displacement (e.g., earthquakes, water flow impact scenarios), avoiding stress concentration cracking common in rigid structures (e.g., concrete).
• Excellent permeability, reducing hydrostatic pressure: Large mesh gaps (typically 20-100mm) allow free water penetration, preventing pressure differentials on either side of the mesh. This mitigates collapse of revetments and slopes due to water accumulation, while promoting water circulation and protecting aquatic ecosystems.
• High ecological compatibility, supports natural greening: Gaps between fill aggregates provide space for plant root growth. Over time, vegetation gradually covers the gabion surface, blending with the surrounding environment to form an "ecological revetment/slope," making it ideal for ecological restoration projects.
• Strong durability, low maintenance costs: Anti-corrosion treatments such as galvanizing, zinc-aluminum alloy coating, or PVC/PE coating offer excellent resistance to corrosion and UV radiation. Service life in harsh outdoor environments (e.g., saline-alkali land, humid waters) reaches 20-50 years. Even if partially damaged, only aggregate replenishment or mesh repair is needed, avoiding full replacement.

1. Wire processing: Low-carbon steel wire (carbon content ≤0.2% for flexibility) is drawn to specified diameters (typically 2.0-4.0mm) using wire drawing machines.
2. Anti-corrosion treatment: Applied as needed: hot-dip galvanizing (immersing wire in molten zinc to form a zinc layer), zinc-aluminum alloy coating (typically 95:5 ratio for more uniform coating), or PVC/PE coating (extrusion molding process, coating thickness 0.8-1.2mm).
3. Weaving and forming: Hexagonal mesh weaving machines weave anti-corrosion steel wire into hexagonal mesh panels (mesh size determined by project requirements, commonly 60×80mm, 80×100mm). The "double-twist" process ensures firm meshes resistant to deformation.
4. Assembly processing: Mesh panels are cut to design dimensions and assembled into gabions or mattresses using binding wires (same material as mesh for corrosion resistance). Corners are reinforced with stiffeners (thicker steel wires) to enhance overall strength.

• Hydraulic engineering: River revetments, embankment reinforcement, spillway protection for reservoirs, slope protection for fish/pond lotus ponds (preventing soil erosion while maintaining permeability).
• Transportation engineering: Highway/railway slope retaining walls (adapting to subgrade settlement), bridge pier protection (resisting water flow erosion), slope reinforcement at tunnel entrances/exits.
• Ecological restoration: Slope protection for mine reclamation (facilitating vegetation recovery), revetments for wetland conservation, ecological lining for artificial channels.
• Municipal engineering: Urban river management, landscape lake shore protection, slope retention for parking lots (balancing functionality and aesthetics).

1. Foundation treatment: Clear debris and soft soil from the installation area, level the foundation (for retaining wall projects, pour concrete foundations or lay graded gravel to ensure bearing capacity).
2. Gabion assembly: Unfold mesh panels, connect corners with binding wires (secured every 10-15cm for stability), assemble into complete gabions/mattresses, and check for uniform mesh without damage.
3. Aggregate filling: Select hard, non-weathered stones (particle size >1.5 times mesh size to prevent leakage). Fill manually or mechanically in layers (each layer ≤30cm high, compacted with vibrators to avoid large gaps). Ensure gabions remain upright and undeformed during filling.
4. Capping and securing: After filling, cover gabion tops with mesh panels and bind securely. For multi-layer gabions, lay connecting bars between layers to enhance overall stability.
