Gabion Mesh Deflection Analysis

Galfan Wire Diameters

3.0mm, 4.5mm, or 5.2mm wire for gabion mesh. The 5.2mm is 44% stronger than the 4.5mm mesh.

Gabion Rock Fill

Angular rock provides a good interlock. Therefore less deformation of the gabion face occurs.

Mesh Aperture

Electronically welded wire mesh 75mm x 75mm grid aperture is standard.

Deflection Guidance

3mm or 4.5mm diameter Galfan coated wire deflection video example.

4.5mm wire is 125% stronger

4.5mm dia wire is 26.5% stronger than 4.0mm dia wire

Welded Gabions are the best choice

In locations where high flood water velocities are expected, carrying woody debris and gravels in suspension, the stronger 4.5mm welded gabions are the preferred choice, to resist damage to the gabion structures during floods.

Stronger 4.5mm Welded Gabions

Carrying woody debris and gravels in suspension, the stronger 4.5mm welded gabions are the preferred choice.
