Their experience and technical knowledge provide a new level of insight and development for both the Civil Engineering, Architectural and Domestic sectors of the market.

LACING WIRE

Lacing wire is supplied as the standard jointing system on Gabion 39 System and for Rock Netting. It is supplied in catch weights of either 5kg, 20kg or 25kg coils depending upon the wire specification.

The wire is used to continuously lace the panels/units together and also to form the windlass ties within gabions to support the mesh face.

HELICALS

Helical connectors are supplied as standard on the Gabion 27 System for all vertical joints and with lacing wire supplied for all horizontal jointing. Helicals can be supplied for Gabion 39 System at additional cost.

The helical forms the strongest and most consistent method of jointing. The helical also serves to encompass the cut ends of the mesh wires to reduce the probability of snagging where gabions are used in public areas.

CLIPPING TOOLS

Pneaumatic hog ring clipping tools are available to purchase.The ‘C’ rings are fixed intermittently at 150mm centres to connect adjacent panels or gabion to gabion.

The ‘C’ rings are available either as galfan coated (95% Zinc - 5% Aluminium) or stainless steel dependant upon the gabion specification.

The system requires a compressor on site (not supplied).

Corner Ties

Wire corner ties are an alternative to the internal windlass ties that traditionally have been used in gabions and undertaken using lacing wire.

Corner ties are supplied as standard for the Gabion 27 System. They are easier to install than forming windlass ties as well as providing greater control to the gabion face.

Corner ties can be supplied for Gabion 39 System at additional cost.
