Aerct supplies planted gabion walls system designed for creek slope stabilization uses. We also supply technical support on how to detail, specify, and construct the planted gabion walls. For American and South East Asian market mainly.
Steel Wire Used for Making Gabions: All steel wire used in the fabrication of the gabions and in the wrung operations during construction shall be to BS 1052, having a tensile strength of not less than 380 N/mm2 and not exceed saoN/mm2.
Wire diameters and relevant tolerances shall be in accordance with the following table:
Wire Diameter (rnm)
Tolerance (rnm)
2.70
± 0.08
3.40
± 0.10
All wire shall be galvanised in accordance with the provisions of SABS 675 or equivalent, for Class A heavy galvanised mild steel wire. The minimum mass of the zinc coating shall be according to the Table below:
Nominal Diameter of coated wire (mm)
Mass of Coating (G/m2 surface area)
2.2 -2.9
260
3.0-3.6
275
The adhesion of the zinc coating to the wire shall be such that when the wire is wrapped six turns around a mandrel of four times the diameter of the wire, it shall not flake or crack to such an extent that any zinc can be removed by rubbing with the bare fingers.
