Gabions Applied in Water Conservancy Project and River Engineering
The gabion box (box shaped stone cage) is constructed by large-size hexagonal wire netting, and the stones are placed in the cage and sealed during construction. It can be produced according to customer requirements, and the surface protection treatments include hot-dip galvanized, zinc aluminum galfan coated, PVC coated, etc.
The structure can be used for side slope support, nets on mountain rock surface, side slope vegetation (greening), and isolation barriers for railways and highways. It can also be made into cages and net mats, which are used for anti-scouring protection of rivers, dams and seawalls, and net cages for the closure of reservoirs and rivers.
In large-scale water conservancy projects, the selected stones should be strong and durable, have a certain density, and have a diameter of 4 inches to 8 inches. Large stones are easier to install than round and coarse ones. The filled stones should minimize the gaps between the materials. The exposed surface should use a larger volume of stones to avoid flowing out of the holes. Use fine stones to fill the gaps and densely, and then continue to load. Stone materials should meet certain standards, with a float of +/-5%. In addition, special attention is paid to protecting gabions by PVC coating so that the gabion boxes can be used in water conservancy projects to maintain the alkali and corrosion resistance of the gabion net.
In water conservancy projects, the application of gabions makes a very economical solution. The gabions system is composed of steel wire cages and natrual filling materials, and the cost is lower than that of general construction materials. The filling material shall be resistant to weathering and has a certain strength, usually stones of different grades at the engineering site can be used as fillers, and sometimes even some cleaner construction waste can be used as fillers, so the cost is lower. Especially in the construction of protection projects in areas with poor soil foundation, the use of gabion net structure can avoid the trouble of foundation treatment, thereby saving the foundation cost which accounts for a large proportion of the project cost.
Stone gabions are popularly used for water control and conservancy projects.
The development and control of the river-ways concerns the technology of laying protective layer, with permanent protective function. The stone gabions can control water flowing volume and protect water resource from running off in holding the neighboring water resource and protecting and controlling the flood.
