Gabion Products

Gabions are modular building blocks formed of wire mesh and filled on site with rock, stone or crushed concrete.

Hy-Ten designs and supplies gabions in welded mesh.

The mesh is a welded wire square mesh of 76.2mm x 76.2mm or 50.8mm x 50.8mm and is available in PVC-Zinc Coated, Triple Life corrosion protection (95% zinc 5% Aluminium) or stainless wire.

The units are supplied flat packed and are wired or helicalled on site to form the box shapes.

Unit sizes available are the industry Standard Sizes, Gabion 700 System (see below).

Gabion 700 System

The HY-TEN GABION 700 STSTEM has been introduced to improve the quality and cost effectiveness of gabion retaining wall structures.

The system reduces the possibility of constructional deformation of the face of the gabion. This is achieved by generally limiting the unsupported mesh face to 700mm square (unit depth is generally 700mm) combined with the use of heavier gauge mesh to the face and rear panels. With a heavier rear panel the inclination of structures can be increased from 6 degrees to 10 degrees from the vertical without constructional problems arising.

The reduced height of the units to generally 700mm and diaphragm spacing of 700mm results in a more even distribution of mesh within the structure, which improves its performance.

The system allows for design sections to increase in height and width by nominally 300mm, producing the most cost effective design solutions.
