Welded Mesh Gabions

Weld Mesh Gabions and mattresses complement our range of Woven Mesh Gabions and mattresses to provide a valid and effective technical solution in the design, construction and maintenance of a variety of stone filled protective structures. They can provide effective, economical and environmentally acceptable solutions to a range of civil engineering problems.

Weld Mesh Gabions are available either Galfan coated or with Organic Polymer coating over galvanised wire. Service life for Organic Polymer coated gabions is up to 120 years, depending on exposure conditions. The standard colour for Organic Polymer coated gabions is green while other colours are available to special order. Galfan coated gabions on the other hand, will last up to 3-4 times longer than normal galvanising and is usually adequate for most normal applications.

Weld Mesh Gabions are considered to be more aesthetically pleasing and they are also much quicker and cheaper to install than Woven Mesh Gabions.

Architectural Gabion Applications

Recently, Weld Mesh Gabions have been regularly used as architectural retaining walls, as well as architectural cladding for buildings. This is a testament to the quality of finish that is possible with Welded Mesh Gabions when constructed properly.

All our welded mesh gabions are manufactured in Ireland, giving us the flexibility to supply made to order non-standard sizes and configurations with a minimal lead-in time. We can supply almost any specification or combination of specifications of gabions for all applications and durability specifications. Types of mesh in stock are 3mm Galfan, 4mm Galfan, 5mm galfan and 3mm green Organic Polymer coated. One popular configuration is 4mm diameter mesh in the front and 3mm diameter mesh everywhere else for extra vandal resistance on the front exposed face of the gabions.

Gabions can be supplied to anywhere in the country, including Northern Ireland. Our welded mesh gabions are usually supplied flat packed for ease of transportation. Our Gabions can also be pre-filled, but only when absolutely necessary because of high transportation and installation costs, as well as compromising the ability of the wall to redistribute loads because adjoining gabions are not interconnected as well.

Contact us for a quotation. Specialist design and installation service for gabions also available if required. We specialise in building the high quality retaining walls using high quality gabions.

Our Welded Mesh Gabions have BBA approval, Certificate number 05/4215

Gabions for selfbuild

To simplify the process of installing and filling the gabions for selfbuild customers, we have devised our latest Type 4 and Type 4 Plus Gabion systems. These systems have been designed using feedback from our own installation crews and other self builders and contains features which makes the gabions easier and quicker to fill.
