Gabion Box
GI gabion boxes are steel wire cages designed to contain stones available at the site to abate destructive forces of erosion, as per NS 163. Double-twisted wire mesh is made by twisting continuous pairs of wires through three one-half turns (commonly called double twisted) to form hexagonal shaped openings which are then interconnected to adjacent wires to form hexagonal openings.
Double twisted wire mesh contains variable sizes, uniformly partitioned into internal cells interconnected with other similar units and filled with the stone at the project site to form flexible, monolithic structures such as retaining walls, sea walls, channel linings, revetments and wires for erosion control projects.
