This document describes a modular gabion system, designed for various landscaping and construction applications. The system is characterized by its robust construction, ease of assembly, and adaptability to different site conditions.

Function Description

The gabion system is primarily used for constructing retaining walls, decorative garden features, sound barriers, and erosion control structures. It consists of wire mesh baskets that are filled with stones or other suitable inert materials. The modular design allows for the creation of structures of various sizes and shapes, providing both functional and aesthetic benefits. The system is designed to be stable and durable, offering a long-lasting solution for earth retention and landscaping.

Important Technical Specifications

The gabion system is identified by SKU: 141038-141049+142359+142530+142548-142552+143575-143593+145648+145651+147811-147818+147820-147822 and Batch Nr: 2100852003.

Components: The system comprises several types of wire mesh panels, identified by their SKU ranges:

  • 141038-141049: Likely refers to basic gabion panels.
  • 142359-142530: Could be specific panel sizes or types.
  • 142548-142552: Possibly connecting elements or specialized panels.
  • 143575-143593: Suggests additional panel variations.
  • 145648-145651: Potentially for corner or specific structural elements.
  • 147811-147818: Could be for internal bracing or reinforcement.
  • 147820-147822: Likely refers to posts or anchoring components.

Dimensions (example for posts):

  • Height: 800 mm
  • Diameter: 31.5 mm
  • Recommended embedment depth: 400-500 mm (15.7-19.7 inches) in concrete. Minimum 400 mm (15.7 inches) in soil.

Material:

  • The gabion baskets are made of wire mesh, which is typically galvanized or coated for corrosion resistance.
  • Filling material: Stones, gravel, or other inert, non-degradable materials. The document indicates a density of 1450 kg/m³ for the filling material.

Assembly: The gabion panels are connected using spiral connectors (Z-connectors) or clips, forming a basket. Internal bracing wires are used to prevent bulging when filled. Posts are used for additional stability, especially for taller structures.

Safety Warnings:

  • General: Always ensure the gabion is properly positioned and stable. Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including safety shoes, gloves, and protective glasses.
  • Sharp Edges: Metal wires can be pointed and sharp-edged; handle with care to avoid injuries.
  • Stability: The gabion must be assembled and filled correctly to ensure stability. Improper assembly or filling can lead to collapse.
  • Weight: Gabions filled with stones are extremely heavy. Ensure the ground can support the weight and that lifting equipment (if used) is appropriate.
  • Foundation: A stable and level foundation is crucial. For taller structures, a concrete foundation or proper ground preparation is required.
  • Installation: Follow the instructions carefully. If uncertain, consult a specialist or a competent installation company.
  • Children: Keep children away from the work area.

Usage Features

Modular Design: The system's modularity allows for flexible configurations. Multiple gabion baskets can be connected to create long walls, curves, or terraced structures.

Ease of Assembly: The instructions detail a step-by-step assembly process:

  1. Panel Connection: Connect the wire mesh panels using spiral connectors (Z-connectors) to form the basket. The panels are folded to create the desired shape.
  2. Internal Bracing: Install internal bracing wires (Z-connectors) at specified intervals (e.g., every 1.5 meters) to prevent bulging during filling.
  3. Positioning: Place the assembled gabion basket on a stable, level foundation.
  4. Post Installation (if applicable): For structures requiring additional support, posts are installed. These posts can be embedded in concrete (e.g., 400 mm deep in a 30 cm diameter hole) or directly into the ground (minimum 400 mm deep). The posts are then secured to the gabion mesh.
  5. Filling: Fill the gabion basket with suitable stones. Ensure even distribution of stones to maintain stability.
  6. Lid Closure: Close and secure the lid of the gabion basket.

Versatility: The gabion system can be used in various applications:

  • Retaining Walls: To hold back soil on sloped terrain.
  • Decorative Elements: For garden walls, planters, or architectural features.
  • Erosion Control: To stabilize embankments and prevent soil erosion.
  • Sound Barriers: The stone-filled structure can help attenuate noise.

Aesthetics: The natural stone infill provides an attractive, rustic appearance that blends well with various landscapes.

Durability: The galvanized or coated wire mesh, combined with inert stone infill, ensures a long lifespan with minimal degradation due to weather or environmental factors.

Maintenance Features

Low Maintenance: Once properly installed and filled, the gabion system requires very little maintenance. The robust construction and natural materials are inherently durable.

Inspection: Periodically inspect the gabion structure for any signs of damage, deformation, or displacement.

  • Check for any loose or broken wire mesh.
  • Ensure the posts (if used) remain firmly anchored.
  • Verify that the stone infill is stable and not settling excessively.

Repair: In case of minor damage to the wire mesh, repairs can often be made using additional wire or clips. Significant damage may require partial disassembly and replacement of panels.

Cleaning: The gabion structure generally does not require cleaning. Any accumulated debris can be removed manually or with a hose.

Environmental Considerations: The use of natural stone infill makes the gabion system an environmentally friendly option. The permeable nature of gabions allows for water drainage, reducing hydrostatic pressure behind retaining walls.

This gabion system offers a practical, durable, and aesthetically pleasing solution for a wide range of outdoor construction and landscaping needs, provided that all safety guidelines and installation instructions are strictly followed.
