Hexagonal gabions are made from hexagonal mesh woven from low-carbon steel wire or plastic-coated steel wire. This welded structure is created through a double-twist process, providing high tensile strength, corrosion resistance, and water permeability. Mechanically woven or hot-dip galvanized, the double twist is typically at least 50 mm long to ensure structural stability.
🛠️ Mesh wire diameter: 2–4 mm | Edge wire thickness: +0.5–1 mm | Common mesh sizes: 60×80 mm & 80×100 mm
Hexagonal gabions are widely used for riverbank protection and embankment reinforcement, capable of withstanding water velocities up to 6 m/s. Their permeable structure promotes vegetation growth, supporting both slope protection and ecological restoration. They are also used in highway and railway retaining walls reaching heights of up to 40 meters.
| Gabion Size (L × W × H) | Wire Thickness | Mesh Size |
| 1 × 1 × 1 m | 2.7 mm edge wire | 60×80 mm, 70×90 mm |
| 2 × 1 × 1 m | 2.2 mm mesh wire | |
| 3 × 1 × 1 m | 2.0 mm lacing wire | |
| 4 × 1 × 1 m | 3.4 mm edge wire | 80×100 mm, 100×120 mm |
| 4 × 2 × 1 m | 2.7 mm mesh wire | |
| Custom Size Available | 2.2 mm lacing wire | |

Gabions are wire mesh boxes often used in combination with geotextiles to reduce water velocity, prevent soil erosion, and retain soil particles. Flat gabions are commonly used in civil engineering, particularly for drainage structures on roads. Larger gabion mattresses are designed to cover extensive areas of riverbeds, effectively preventing erosion. This method offers a unique solution combining effective drainage management and environmental benefits.
Mattress gabions are typically made from durable galvanized or PVC-coated wire, providing excellent corrosion protection. Gabions are manufactured using high-quality galvanization, with an additional PVC coating of 0.5 mm thickness for hexagonal woven wire meshes.
