Galvanized Iron Wire In Kenya
Gabion Cage Description :
Gabion baskets, also called gabion boxes, are made of corrosion-resistant, high-strength and ductile galvanized wire or PVC coated wire through mechanical weaving. Wire material is zinc -5% aluminum alloy (galfan), low carbon steel, stainless steel or iron.
Gabion basket is an ecological grid structure. The stone cage net is mechanically woven from low-carbon steel wire with high corrosion resistance, high strength and ductility or PVC-coated steel wire. The box-shaped structure made by the net is the stone cage. The diameter of the low carbon steel wire used varies according to engineering design requirements. Generally between 2.0-4.0mm, the tensile strength of the steel wire is not less than 38kg/m2, and the metal coating weight is generally higher than 245g/m2. The diameter of the edge wire of the gabion mesh is generally larger than the diameter of the wire. The length of the twisted part of the double wire shall not be less than 50mm. To ensure that the metal coating and PVC coating of the twisted part of the steel wire are not damaged.

Gabion Cage Advantage:
Flexibility: Flexibility is an important benefit of any gabion structure. The
double-twist hexagonal mesh construction permits it to tolerate
differential settlement without fracture. This property is
especially important when a structure is on unstable soil
conditions or in areas where scour from wave action or currents can
undermine the toe of the structure and cause structural settlement.
Durability: Gabions support plant growth which provides a live coating for the
wire mesh and stones, adding to their durability. Generally, the
wire mesh is needed for the first few years of the structure’s
life; later the void between the stones is filled with soil, silt,
and plant roots which act as a bonding agent for the stones.
Strength: Steel wire hexagonal mesh has strength and flexibility to
withstand forces generated by water and earth masses, and the
pervious nature of the gabion allows it to absorb and dissipate
much of that energy. This is evident on coast protection
installations where gabion structures remain effective long after a
massive rigid structure fails. Additionally, the double twisted
hexagonal mesh won’t unravel if cut.
Permeability: Gabion walls are previous to water and stabilize slopes by the
combined action of draining and retaining, precluding the
development of hydrostatic pressure behind the gabion wall.
Drainage is accomplished by gravity, as well as evaporation as the
porous structure permits air circulation through it. As plant
growth develops within the structure, the process of transpiration
assists in removing moisture from the backfill – a much more
efficient system than weep holes in standard masonry walls.
Low cost: Gabion systems are more economical than rigid or semi-rigid
structures for the following reasons:
• It requires little maintenance
• Its installations does not require skilled labor and stone fill
is available on site or from nearby quarries,
• It requires little or no foundation preparation, as the surface
needs to be only reasonably level and smooth.
• Gabions are porous, requiring no costly drainage provision
Ecology: Gabions is an environmentally sensitive solution to slope
stabilization. It has already been mentioned that stone fill is
done with natural stones making the gabions, naturally porous
allowing interaction between the land and the water table and also
persuades deposition of soil in the smaller voids between the stone
fill during drainage that again promote vegetation growth.
