JUMBO GABIONS
PVC COATED
Jumbo Gabions are baskets made of Mesh 8 double twisted
Lid
steel woven wire mesh, as per EN 10223-3:2013 (Figs. 1, 2).
Jumbo Gabions are filled with stones at the project site to form Diaphragm Lid
flexible, permeable, monolithic structures such as retaining End
walls, channel linings, and weirs for erosion control projects.
The steel wire used in the manufacture of the gabion is heavily
zinc coated soft temper steel. A PVC coating is then applied to
provide added protection for use in polluted environments where Back
soils or water are acidic: in salt or fresh water, or wherever the
risk of corrosion is present. The PVC coating has a nominal
H H = 0.5m
thickness of 0.50 mm. The standard specifications of mesh-wire
End
are shown in Table 2.
The jumbo gabion is divided into cells by means of diaphragms L = 3m
positioned at approximately 1m centers (Fig.1). In order to
reinforce the structure, all mesh panel edges are selvedged with Front
a wire having a greater diameter (Table 3). Dimensions and L = 3m L
sizes of PVC coated gabions are shown in Table 1. W
The material is supplied from an ISO 9001 certified factory. W = 2m
Diaphragm
Wire
All tests on wire must be performed prior to manufacturing the Figure 1
mesh.
1. Tensile strength: the wire used for the manufacture of
gabions shall have a tensile strength between 350-500
MPa according to EN 10223-3. Wire tolerances (Table 4)
are in accordance with EN10223-3.
2. Elongation: Elongation shall not be less than 10%, in The tolerance on the opening
accordance with EN10016-1 and EN 10016-2. of mesh ‘D’ being the
3. Zinc coating: minimum quantities of zinc shown at Table distance between the axis of
3 meet the requirements of EN10244-2 Class A. two consecutive twists, is
4. Adhesion of zinc: the adhesion of the zinc coating to the according to ASTM A975-97
wire shall be such that, when the wire is wrapped six turns
around a mandrel having four times the diameter of the
wire, it does not flake or crack when rubbing it with the
bare fingers, in accordance with ASTM A641-97.

D792 Table 1; Brittleness temperature: no higher than 15°F (- 9°C), or lower
Hardness: between 50 and 60 Shore D, according to ASTM D temperature when specified by the purchaser, when tested in
2240 –91; accordance with ASTM D746.
Tensile strength: not less than 20.6 MPa, according to ASTM
D412-92; The properties after ageing tests shall be as follows:
Modulus of elasticity: not less than 18.6 MPa, in accordance Appearance of coated mesh: no cracking, stripping or air
with ASTM D412-92; bubbles, and no appreciable variation in color;
Abrasion resistance: the percentage of the weight loss shall Specific Gravity: variations shall not exceed 6%;
be less than 12%, according to ASTM D1242-92. Hardness: variations shall not exceed 10%;
Creeping corrosion: max. penetration of corrosion of the wire Tensile strength: variations shall not exceed 25%;
from a square cut end shall be 1 in. (25 mm) when the Modulus of elasticity: variations shall not exceed 25%;
specimen has been immersed for 2,000 hours in a 5% solution Abrasion resistance: variations shall not exceed 10%;
HCl (hydrochloric acid 12 Be). Brittleness temperature: shall not exceed + 64°F (+18°C).
