Gabions are filed with S rock atthe project site to form flexible, permeable, monolithic S structures such as retaining wall, channel inings and weirs for = erosion contol projects, Height ‘The steel wire used in the manufacture ofthe gabion is heavily : 2ine coated Class A as per SANS 675:1997 (Table 2). The tolerances of mesh and wire are shown in Tables 1 and 2 Swath Length In order to reinforce the structure, all mesh panel edges are . selvedged with a wire having a greater diameter than the mesh Wie, The gabion is divided into cells by means of diaphragms positioned at approximately 1m centres (Figure 1). Dimensions and sizes of galvanised and PVC coated gabions are shown in Se TS Table 3. When specifying Gabions in the tender documents or . bill of quantities, please refer to Table 4 ‘Mesh Type @ |b | Tolerance ¢mm)] _OD Wire @ (mm Filling and Lacing ed oi 4 +0 au ‘The Gabions must be filed with rock ranging between 100 mm - ‘and 250 mm.

Care should bbe taken when placing the stone to ensure that the zinc coating ‘on gabions is not damaged. All visible faces should be carefully hhand placed for appearance purposes.

According to SANS 6751907 “According fo SANS 1580:2005 and SANS 675:1997 All tests on wire are performed prior to manufacturing the mesh. 1.

Tests are carried out on a sample at least 25 em long. 3, Adhesion af zine: The adhesion of the zinc coating to the wire Is Such that, when the wire is wrapped six tuns around a ‘mandrel having four times the diameter of the wire, it does nat flake or crack when rubbed with the bare fingers, in accordance with SANS 675:1997. 4, Ductlty: The ductility of the zinc-coated wire is such that when the wire is wrapped at least eight times around a wire having the same diameter of the test specimen at a rate not ‘exceeding 15 tumns per minute and then unwrapped at the same rate, it does not show any sign of fracture of the underlying steel wire in accordance with SANS 675:1997.Diamond Wire Nating & Finished Products Company Tot0086-311-85962008 85964002 85260058 Fax0086-311-82800007 Emalriver@gablon-box.com ‘STANDARD GABION SIZES Length tm ‘wi (mp Height (m) 10 70) 10 15 70) 70 20 70 70. 30 70) 0} 40 10 1 20 os 05 20 10) 05 30 70 05: a0 10) 05: Tolerances: Height, Wid 25%, Alls and cimensions ar namin. engi: $1036 ix Open Closes E i 1,4 fi} 1 Pers Manual Spenax Tool Closing toot 2.
