GTI® Gabion Box
Gabion is a rectangular wire mesh box comprised of three one half turns (commonly called double twisted) to form hexagonal shaped mesh openings of Zinc galvanized and PVC coated steel wire. These mesh openings are then interconnected with adjacent wires to form hexagonal meshes.
Selvedge / Edge wire which is a thicker and heavier wire is used to reinforce the edges and transverse diaphragm. It gives greater rigidity and shape to the gabion/mattresses/netting.
These Gabion boxes are filled with natural stones at the project site to form flexible, permeable, monolithic structures. The diaphragm assure minimum stone migration within the basket, thus gives strength to the container to retain its original shape and does not unravel or unzip in adverse conditions.
We offer a variety in coatings suitable for different site conditions and theses coatings offer corrosion resistance which improves the system life. GTI® Gabion box have mesh opening sizes 10X12, 8X10 and available with Zn coating and Zn +PVC coating.

GTI® Gabion Revet Mattress
GTI® Gabion Revet mattress is a made from mechanically woven double twisted hexagonal steel wire mesh container uniformly partitioned into cells with relatively smaller height in relation to other dimesion, having smaller mesh opening than mesh used for gabion.
Gabion Revet Mattress is partitioned by internal diaphragms placed at 1m lateral direction. The diaphragms are created by inserting double mesh in the base panel which improves diaphragm stability during filling operations. In order to reinforce the structure, all mesh panels are selvedge with a wire having a greater diameter.
GTI® Revet Mattress have mesh opening 6X8 and available with Zn coating and Zn +PVC coating

GTI® DT Mesh Netting
GTI Rock fall Steel Wire Netting are factory manufactured rolls made up of mechanically double twisted hexagonal wire mesh using Heavily Galvanized steel wire. Mechanically woven double twisted meshes are non raveling and the edges of the mesh are reinforced with a thicker wire called the selvedge/edge wire. These nets are used to prevent small size boulders or rocks from falling in rail or road ways, thus minimizing loss of property or life. In case of applications in marine or highly corrosive environment, an additional protection is provided by extruding 0.5mm thick PVC coating over the heavily galvanized wire.
