Plastic-Coated Gabion Mesh

Plastic-coated gabion mesh

Plastic-coated gabion mesh is a hexagonal woven wire mesh structure manufactured from galvanized low-carbon steel wire that is then coated with a layer of PVC. The mesh is mechanically woven into double-twisted hexagonal openings, assembled into box-shaped baskets, and filled with stones or other hard materials to form flexible, permeable, and monolithic structures. This product is widely used for earthwork, mining, road, bridge, and river engineering projects, as well as slope support, foundation pit support, and riverbank anti-scour protection. PVC-coated gabion mesh offers excellent seismic and impact resistance, effectively combining engineering functionality with ecological integration.

Product Overview

The PVC coating acts as a protective barrier, preventing the steel wire from exposure to moisture, chemicals, and other corrosive elements. This significantly extends the service life of the gabion structure, particularly in wet soil, riverbanks, and long-term exposure conditions, reducing the need for frequent replacements and maintenance.

Material Options

PVC-Coated Galvanized Steel

Standard option for riverbanks, slopes, and wet environments requiring corrosion resistance and long service life.

Galfan-Coated Steel (Zn-5% Al)

Enhanced corrosion resistance compared with standard galvanized wire, suitable for aggressive soil and water conditions.

Stainless Steel Alloy

Superior corrosion resistance for the most demanding chemical and marine applications.

Galvanized Steel

Cost-effective option for dry outdoor and landscape applications where PVC coating is not required.

Manufacturing Process

Step 1: Raw Material Selection

High-quality low-carbon steel wire rod is selected as the base material.

Step 2: Wire Drawing and Coating

The wire rod is cold-drawn to the required diameter, then hot-dip galvanized and coated with PVC.

Step 3: Mechanical Weaving

The coated wire is mechanically woven into double-twisted hexagonal mesh.

Step 4: Cutting and Assembly

The woven mesh is cut, folded, and assembled into gabion boxes with diaphragms and stiffeners.

Step 5: Inspection and Packaging

Finished products are inspected for mesh size, wire diameter, coating thickness, and appearance before packaging and transport.

Typical Applications

Riverbank and Channel Protection

Preventing erosion of river embankments, canal banks, and drainage channels.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is plastic-coated gabion mesh used for?

Plastic-coated gabion mesh is used for riverbank protection, slope support, retaining walls, foundation pit support, bridge protection, flood control, coastal protection, landscaping, and mining earthwork projects.

What is the difference between PVC-coated and galvanized gabion mesh?

PVC-coated gabion mesh has an additional layer of PVC on top of the galvanized wire, providing enhanced corrosion resistance, UV protection, and color options. Galvanized gabion mesh is suitable for dry outdoor and landscape applications where the PVC coating is not required.

What wire diameters and mesh openings are available?

Standard wire diameters include 2.0mm/3.0mm, 2.2mm/3.2mm, 2.4mm/3.4mm, 2.7mm/3.7mm, 2.8mm/3.8mm, and 3.0mm/4.0mm. Mesh openings include 60mm x 80mm, 80mm x 100mm, 80mm x 120mm, 100mm x 120mm, 100mm x 150mm, and 120mm x 150mm.

What are the standard basket sizes?

Standard basket sizes include 1m x 1m x 1m, 2m x 1m x 1m, 3m x 1m x 1m, and 2m x 0.5m x 0.5m. Custom sizes are available on request.

Is the gabion mesh permeable?

Yes. The hexagonal mesh structure allows water to pass through while preventing damage from hydrostatic pressure, making it an environmentally friendly choice for riverbank and erosion control applications.

What is the lead time for bulk orders?

Standard lead time is 15 to 25 days after deposit, depending on order quantity and customization.

What payment terms do you accept?

We accept T/T, L/C, and other negotiable terms. Our sales team will provide detailed payment information with your quotation.
