Galvanised gabion is the most widely used type gabions. It is made of galvanised steel wire with different zinc coating, according to different zinc coating weight, the galvanised gabion can be divided into hot dipped galvanised and electric galvanised gabion.
- Electric galvanised gabion. It has thin zinc coating, which is no higher than 90 g/m2, the zinc coating has outstanding corrosion and rust resistance performance to resist the environment element. The most important characteristic of electric galvanised gabion is economical. It is suitable for the customers which has tight budget and want the good quality products.
- Hot dipped galvanised gabion. Hot dipped galvanised gabion has the zinc coating weight higher than 200 g/m2, and different wire diameter may be different. The thick zinc coating make the hot dipped gabion resist the harsh environments, even in the chemical, salty, rainy and other corrosive environments. Hot dipped galvanised gabion is widely used in the coastal, riverway controlling and other heavy duty and corrosive applications. Though the cost is higher than the electric galvanised gabion, but the longer service life and good appearance and performance are worthy for the cost.
galvanised gabion has different fabrication technology and mesh types. The galvanised gabion can be hexagonal meshes woven cages or square meshes welded cages.
- Galvanised woven gabions. The galvanised wires are woven into hexagonal meshes panels and different sizes of panels are combined by the lacing wire to form gabion cages for different applications. There are no welding points on the gabion surface, which can be used in the water related applications, such as coastal protection, bridge protection, riverway controlling and related projects.
- galvanised welded gabions. Weld the joint of the neighbor wires and form flat panels with a series of square meshes, which is called galvanised welded gabion. The galvanised welded gabion is solid and rigid enough to resist the large impact from outside conditions. It is widely used for landscape constructions, fireplaces, retaining wall and other decorative and functional applications.

The stability of mass gravity retaining walls relies upon
the structural integrity of the units, and their filled mass,
to support or contain unstable earth slopes. In order to
select the optimum retaining wall solution, key
considerations include:
• The geotechnical parameters of the retained and
foundation soils
• The presence of water and hydrostatic loads
• External loads from structures and live or seismic loads
• The simplicity and speed of construction
