What advantages does gabion stone cage have in ecological protection projects

Gabion gabions are cages made of angular mesh (hexagonal mesh) woven with metal wires. They can resist the erosion of flowing water and create a stable environment for the healthy growth of plants. They are mostly used in ecological protection projects such as embankment protection and sedimentation. So what advantages do gabions have in this application process? Let's follow the editor to learn about it:

1. Good water permeability. The pore structure can enhance water and soil exchange and the self-purification ability of water. The wall structure can quickly drain water, thereby reducing the pressure behind the wall;

2. Strong ability to adapt to foundation deformation. The gabion gabion structure has good ductility and has good adaptability to changes in the foundation;

3. Simple construction and low cost. After the gabion gabions are made into semi-finished products in the factory, they can be directly assembled on the construction site. The construction can be completed by filling stones and covering the mesh. The construction quality is also easy to control, easy to operate, and less affected by the weather. Generally, the cost is lower than the price of concrete. Especially when building protection projects in areas with poor geology, the cost of foundation treatment can be greatly reduced and the construction progress can be accelerated.

4. It can be operated underwater. When the water level of the river project protection is high, GPS can be used for accurate positioning and then suspended by ships.

5. It is suitable for frozen soil areas. In northern my country, due to the large temperature difference between winter and summer, concrete structures are prone to cracks due to the freeze-thaw effect, which in turn destroys the entire structure. The gabion stone cage structure is elastic and can change with the change of temperature. It is far superior to other structures in terms of design and cost.

6. This structure has good permeability in ecological protection projects. Unlike traditional rigid protection, it adapts to uneven settlement of poor foundations. This method is used in the bank slopes with high flow rate and wind and wave walls to help wave absorption performance and reduce impact damage to the structure. Especially in ecological protection, the pore structure helps to improve water quality, provide a good habitat for aquatic plants, and promote the growth of vegetation, forming a natural green ecosystem and creating a harmonious landscape.
