Gabions / Matteres



Gabions and mattresses are durable wire mesh containers filled with stones, used for erosion control, slope stabilization, and retaining structures. They are designed for strength, flexibility, and long-term performance even in harsh environmental conditions.

Product Details:

  • Wire Material:

    • Manufactured using high-tensile steel wire with a strength of 350–500 N/mm² (BS 1052:1980, EN 10223-3).

    • Minimum elongation of 10% with a test sample length over 25 cm.

    • All materials are ISO 9001 certified to ensure consistent quality.

  • Zinc Coating:

    • Meets BS 443:1982 standards for corrosion resistance.

    • Zinc coating adhesion remains intact after six wraps around a mandrel (EN 10244).

    • Minimum zinc coating:

      • 2.2 mm wire – 240 g/m²

      • 2.7 mm wire – 275 g/m²

      • 3.4 mm wire – 275 g/m²

  • PVC Coating:

    • Specific gravity: ≥ 1.32

    • Tensile strength: ≥ 20 N/mm² (ASTM D412-92)

    • Elongation at break: ≥ 200% (ASTM D412-92)

    • Resistant to cracking or breaking after twisting.

    • For high-corrosion environments, an additional Galmac coating (Zinc + 5–10% Aluminum) and optional PVC layer are applied.

  • Mesh Characteristics:

    • Mesh type: 80 mm × 100 mm

    • Wire diameter: 4 mm PVC coated / 3 mm GI wire

    • Dimensions: 2 m (L) × 1 m (H) × 1 m (W)

    • Selvedge wire: 3.4 mm (GI), 4.4 mm (PVC coated)

    • Lacing/stiffener wire: 2.2 mm (GI), 3.2 mm (PVC coated)

  • Tolerances:

    • ±5% on length, width, and height (ASTM A975).
