Gabion basket also named gabion box, is weaved by corrosion resistance, high strength and good ductility galvanized wire or PVC coating wire through mechanical. Wire's material is zinc-5% aluminum alloy (galfan), low carbon steel, stainless steel or iron. Gabion mattress is similar to gabion basket. But gabion mattress's height is lower than gabion basket, structure is flat and big. Gabion basket and gabion mattress are stone containers, uniformly partitioned into internal cells, interconnected with other containers and filled with stone at site to form flexible, permeable, monolithic structures to control and guide water or flood, protect dam or seawall, or used as retaining walls, channel lining and other applications.

Features of gabion
Applications of gabion
NoteZinc-aluminum alloy is called Galfan in foreign, zinc coating is high zinc plus aluminum. Aluminum content is 5-10%, zinc content is 90-95% in Galfan. The meaning of Galfan is "an extraordinary galvanized". Corrosion resistance of the products is about 2-3 times that of ordinary galvanized. Currently, Galfan galvanized wire mainly used in gabion basket.
