Gabion network has high corrosion resistance
November 09, 2022
In landscape engineering, gabion net has always been a headache for engineers and technicians in highway slope protection, embankment revetment and mountain slope greening. For many years, they have been exploring a technology that can not only satisfy the protection needs of mountains and beaches, but also beautify the environment, and is also economical and fast. Over the years, this technology has begun to emerge, which is called ecological gabion network technology.
The key technology of ecological gabion technology is gabion network. Because it is flexible planning, even in the case of land subsidence, collapse, landslide and other conditions, it can be resisted by its own deformation. The materials and knitting tips of the gabion mesh are very sophisticated. The steel wire used for weaving the gabion mesh is high-strength low-carbon galvanized steel wire. The surface is coated with plastic polymer optimized resin mold. It is highly resistant to rust, abrasion, erosion and cracking. The weaving method adopts twisted pair grid technology, which is to weave a twisted pair hexagonal mesh with gabion mesh. The twisted pair method binds the steel wires together to form a mesh. Even if one or two steel wires are broken, the mesh will not be untied, which is unusually robust.
The ecological gabion technology is a plan that uses high-strength galvanized steel wire to weave a rectangular cage with different standards, and the cage is filled with stones. After this planning is applied to bank slope protection, the gap between stones is continuously filled with soil under the action of two layers of human and natural factors. The plant seeds gradually take root and germinate in the soil between the rocks, and grow healthily. The root system firmly fixes the rocks and soil. In this way, the intention of slope protection and beautification can be completed, and the role of ecological improvement and water and soil conservation is also very obvious
Ecological gabion technology has four advantages. First, the construction is simple. The ecological gabion technology only needs to put the stone into the cage for sealing, without extra technology or water and electricity. Second, the cost is low. The cost of ecological gabion is only 18 yuan per square meter. Third, the scene and protection function are good. The combination of engineering method and plant method selected by ecological gabion technology can effectively prevent water and soil loss. The effect of the scene is fast, and the role of the scene is more natural and rich. Fourth, the use of the technology has a long life span. The technology of the ecological gabion network has a long life span of several decades, and usually does not need to be repaired.
Gabion network has the advantages of high corrosion resistance, stability, durability, more economical project cost, good natural landscape and natural beauty. Many architects and landscape designers have begun to explore the excellent characteristics of gabion network, which can greatly benefit mankind in water construction and ecological environment.
For the sake of engineering safety, experimental materials without international standards, such as 10% aluminum zinc alloy coated steel wire, must not be used. If a layer of PVC or PE (other polymers are not allowed) is coated on the surface of low carbon high galvanized or 5% aluminum zinc rare earth alloy steel wire, its product planning will be more rust proof, anti-static, anti-aging, corrosion resistant, high compression resistance, high shear resistance and other characteristics, which can effectively resist the corrosion of seawater or highly polluted environment.
