Galvanized Gabion Stone Basket 2x1x1m Heavy Duty Tensile Strength Certified for

This galvanized gabion stone basket is built for projects where a structural failure is simply not an option. The 2 x 1 x 1 m unit is woven from high tensile steel wire with a measured tensile range of 380 to 550 MPa, then hot dip galvanized to a zinc coating of 240 to 270 g per square metre. The result is a flexible, permeable retaining element that absorbs settlement, drains storm water and keeps its shape under sustained lateral load. Each basket is delivered with lacing wire and internal stiffeners, so a two man crew can assemble and fill a unit in under fifteen minutes on site.

We designed this model after reviewing what buyers in the erosion control segment actually search for and what they cannot find in most catalogues. Specifications are easy to publish; verifiable strength data, third party test reports and reliable lead times are not. Every batch of this basket is therefore supplied with an SGS or BV test report covering wire diameter, zinc coating weight and tensile strength, and every order can be produced to a custom size without losing the certified performance of the standard unit.

• High Tensile Strength Verified by Test Report: Wire is drawn to a 380 to 550 MPa tensile range and checked batch by batch, with third party reports issued against ASTM A975 requirements so engineers can submit documentation with the tender package.
• Certified Quality System: Produced in an ISO 9001 facility with CE conformity and SGS inspection available on request, which keeps the product eligible for public infrastructure and donor funded projects.
• Full Custom Size Capability: Basket length, width, height, internal diaphragm spacing, wire diameter and coating type can all be adjusted, from 0.5 m decorative units to 4 m river training cells, with OEM branding on the packing list.
• Heavy Duty Double Twisted Structure: Double twisted hexagonal weaving distributes impact energy across the mesh instead of concentrating it at welded nodes, so the cage deforms without rupturing under rock fill impact.
• Corrosion Protection to 240 to 270 g per square metre: Hot dip galvanizing after weaving gives a continuous zinc layer at cut ends and joints, and PVC or Galfan coating is available for coastal and high chloride environments.
• Reliable Lead Times and Stock Sizes: Standard 2 x 1 x 1 m, 3 x 1 x 1 m and 2 x 1 x 0.5 m units ship within fifteen days from stock, and custom production is scheduled at twenty five days with a written production calendar.
• Complete Delivery Package: Each unit includes lacing wire, corner stiffeners and an assembly drawing, so no additional hardware purchase is needed before installation begins.

The basket performs best where water, soil movement and time are all working against the structure. Typical installations include river bank and channel lining, slope toe protection on highways and railways, retaining walls for terraced landscaping, culvert headwalls and bridge abutment scour protection. Because the unit is permeable, hydrostatic pressure equalises across the wall and the risk of washout behind the facing is greatly reduced. Landscaping contractors also use smaller custom units as planter walls, bench seating and privacy screens, and coastal projects specify the PVC coated variant where salt spray shortens the life of plain galvanized mesh.

For projects under supervision, we provide a filling guide that specifies stone size range, recommended compaction method and diaphragm layout. This removes the most common cause of premature gabion failure, which is inconsistent stone grading rather than faulty mesh.

Units are folded flat, bundled with steel strapping, wrapped in PVC film and loaded on fumigated wooden pallets. A standard forty foot high cube container holds approximately sixty pallets, and we supply the loading plan in advance so your freight forwarder can confirm the shipment before production starts. Each pallet carries a label showing the model, size, wire diameter and batch number.

Quality control runs at three points: incoming wire inspection, in process mesh measurement and final pre shipment inspection with a written report and photographs. Any unit that fails the mesh opening or coating weight check is rejected before packing. We back the product with a written warranty against manufacturing defects in wire, weaving and coating for the agreed service period, and we replace defective units from the next production run rather than asking the buyer to wait for a claim process. Send us your drawing or your required size, quantity and application, and we will return a specification sheet, test report and quotation within one working day.
