What is the slope protection effect of coated gabion mesh

Coated gabion mesh is an excellent and widely used slope protection material, with significant slope protection effects, especially outstanding performance in balancing durability and ecological environment.

Core advantages of coated gabion mesh

1. Excellent stability and erosion resistance

Stable structure: The stones filled in the gabion net box interlock with each other, forming a huge, sturdy, and flexible overall structure. This structure can effectively disperse the impact force of slope water flow and prevent soil erosion.

Energy dissipation effect: A rough and porous surface can greatly reduce the flow velocity of water, consume its energy, and thus reduce the erosion of slope soil.

2. Excellent permeability

Automatic drainage: There are a large number of gaps between the stones inside the box, allowing the groundwater and seepage water generated when the water level rises inside the slope to be freely discharged. This effectively reduces the static water pressure inside the slope, avoiding slope instability and landslides caused by water pressure accumulation.

3. Strong flexibility and adaptability

Adapt to deformation: Compared to rigid structures such as concrete pouring, gabion mesh has good flexibility. When the foundation undergoes uneven settlement or the slope undergoes slight deformation due to geological changes, the gabion mesh structure can be adjusted through its own slight deformation and will not easily break or collapse. "Overcoming hardness with softness" is one of its major characteristics.

Fit slope: It can fit well with various complex terrains.

4. Excellent durability and corrosion resistance

Double protection: Coated gabion mesh is a high-density PVC or PE plastic protective layer wrapped on the surface of high-quality steel wire.

Physical protection: The plastic layer is wear-resistant and impact resistant, effectively preventing mechanical damage during transportation and installation.

Chemical protection: The plastic layer isolates the steel wire from corrosive media such as water, air, acid and alkali salts, making its corrosion resistance life several times longer than ordinary galvanized gabion mesh. It is particularly suitable for harsh environments such as seawater, polluted rivers, and high salt alkali areas.

Applicable scenarios for coated gabion mesh

River and lake bank protection: prevent water flow from scouring the bank and stabilize the riverbed.
