Gabion Glossary<\/h1><\/div>

Here you can find important gabion basket terms and definitions, explained in a simple and clear way. Our goal is to enlighten you on important topics from all areas of gabion construction, landscaping, and civil engineering applications.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

A<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/a><\/span>

ASTM A975<\/h2><\/div>

The primary standard specification for double-twisted hexagonal mesh gabions and revet mattresses.<\/span> It governs material quality (metallic and PVC coatings), wire tensile strength, mesh geometry, and structural performance requirements to ensure long-term stability in erosion control and civil applications.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

B<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>

Bulging<\/span><\/h2><\/div>

The outward deformation of a gabion face caused by internal stone pressure. This installation defect is prevented by specifying high-tensile mesh and strictly enforcing internal bracing (connecting wire) requirements during filling.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

L<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>

Lacing Wire<\/h2><\/div>

The wire used to assemble and interconnect adjacent gabion units. Essential for creating a monolithic structure, lacing wire must match the mesh coating quality to ensure consistent durability at all connections.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

P<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/a><\/span>

PET Gabion Mesh<\/h2><\/div>

PET Gabion Mesh is a hexagonal woven structure fabricated from high-strength polyester monofilaments, offering a corrosion-free alternative to traditional steel wire solutions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/a><\/span>

PVC Coated Gabion<\/h2><\/div>

Wire mesh basket with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) polymer coating over galvanized core wire, providing enhanced corrosion resistance and extended service life in chemically aggressive or high-chloride environments.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

S<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/a><\/span>

Salt Spray Test<\/h2><\/div>

Laboratory corrosion test exposing materials to saline mist. Measures hours-to-corrosion to predict gabion performance in marine and salt-exposed environments.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/a><\/span>

Selvedge Wire<\/h2><\/div>

A heavier-gauge terminal wire bordering double-twisted hexagonal wire mesh sheets. It reinforces the panel perimeter, facilitates load transfer during lacing, and prevents unraveling. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

T<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/a><\/span>

Tensile Strength<\/h2><\/div>

Tensile strength is the maximum longitudinal force a wire or mesh can withstand before failure, typically measured in kN\/m for gabion applications and specified.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
