Cage refers to the box cage made of heavy hexagonal net, so it is called & ldquo; Gabion net or gabion net cage & rdquo; Europe is also called Gabion net and gabion cage The gabion cage is filled with stone to form a flexible, permeable and integral structure at the construction site, such as retaining wall, river lining weir and other retaining anti-erosion engineering

The gabion cage is divided into several cells by partition plates (twisted hexagonal metal mesh) with an interval of 1 meter. In order to strengthen the strength of the gabion cage structure, all the surface mesh plates are made of steel wires with thicker diameters at the side ends Gabion net controls and guides rivers and floods. Rock collapse protection of spillway dams and diversion dams prevents water and soil erosion

Gabion net cage is made of metal wire woven angular net (hexagonal net). The metal wire diameter used in gabion net is different according to the size of hexagonal net

Gabion net can be used for slope support, foundation pit support, mountain rock surface hanging net spraying slope vegetation (greening), railway highway isolation protection block, gabion net can also be made into box cage, mesh pad, gabion Nets are used for anti-scouring protection of rivers, dams and seawalls, and net cages for reservoirs and river closures. The most serious disaster of the river is that the water scours the river bank and destroys it, causing floods, resulting in a large loss of life and property and a large amount of soil erosion. Therefore, when dealing with the above problems, the application of the gabion structure becomes one of the best solutions, and the gabion net can permanently protect the riverbed and bank.

There are many pores between gabion cage and mesh mat, which create conditions for water flow, facilitate the natural exchange between water and soil, provide living environment for microorganisms in water, enhance the self-cleaning ability of water flow and improve water quality

The filling body in the gabion net cage is cobblestone, which is very loose and has a lot of pores in the middle, which is convenient for the exchange of rainwater and groundwater. After the groundwater seeps into the soil, it can be effectively removed through the gabion net, which reduces the groundwater level and the groundwater pressure of the wall and slope Gabion net can reduce the probability of wall damage by removing groundwater in time. At the same time, gabion net has very good deformation ability and can play a role in buffering impact force

Characteristics of gabion cage

　　(1) Economy Just put the Stone into the cage and seal it

　　(2)The construction of gabion net is simple and does not need special technology

　　(3)Gabion net has strong ability to resist natural damage, corrosion resistance and bad weather influence

　　(4)Can withstand a wide range of deformation without collapsing

　　(5)The silt between the cracks in the cage Stone is beneficial to plant production and can be integrated with the surrounding natural environment

　　(6)The gabion net has good permeability and can prevent the damage caused by hydrostatic force

　　(7)Save transportation costs It can be folded and transported for assembly on the construction site
