Brief: Discover the High-Strength PVC Gabion Stone Retaining Wall System, engineered for tidal barrage reinforcement and estuarine flood control. Featuring double-twisted hexagonal steel mesh with ISO 1461-compliant galvanization, this system is perfect for coastal and riverbank projects. Learn about its superior corrosion resistance, UV stability, and eco-friendly design.
Related Product Features:
  • Double-twisted hexagonal steel mesh (3.2-4.0mm wire) with ISO 1461-compliant galvanization (≥275g/m²) for durability.
  • 70×90mm mesh configuration integrates with anti-salinity geocomposites for brackish water zone stabilization.
  • Customizable in segmented modules (1-4m height) with sacrificial anode compatibility for extended service life.
  • Superior corrosion and salt-water resistance with extra PVC skin, doubling service life compared to plain galvanized baskets.
  • High UV and ozone stability with special UV inhibitors to prevent cracking under intense tropical sun.
  • Extra abrasion defense with 0.5-1.0 mm thick polymer sheath against stone rubbing and wave-borne sand.
  • Flexible yet strong double-twist hexagonal weave allows controlled settlement without structural failure.
  • Permeable and eco-friendly design with open stone fill that drains freely and supports plant colonization.
Faqs:
  • What makes the PVC-coated gabions superior to plain galvanized baskets?
    The extra PVC skin shields the zinc layer from aggressive coastal or acid soils, doubling the service life compared to plain galvanized baskets. It also provides high UV and ozone stability, abrasion defense, and a green aesthetic option.
  • How does the gabion system handle wave energy dissipation?
    The system supports hybrid stone-concrete fills (200-400mm) for effective wave energy dissipation. The double-twisted hexagonal mesh and customizable modules ensure stability in aggressive coastal environments.
  • What are the environmental benefits of using gabion retaining walls?
    Gabion walls are permeable and eco-friendly, allowing water to pass through and reducing hydro-static pressure. They also support plant colonization, turning the wall into a living retaining system, and use natural materials to blend seamlessly with the environment.
