How to Install Gabion Stone Cage

The Gabion stone cage is a very practical tool. It has also exerted its great advantages in some projects. So let’s take a  look at the  installation steps of gabion cage.

The first step is to assemble and lay the composite cage.

Place the folded gabion stone cage on a flat ground to unfold the extra creases. The gabion stone cage is divided into  several cells by the partition. It needs to erect the front and rear panels, the bottom plate and the partition to a certain  position, erect the four sides to form a box shape, and then fold the net cover down, pull it into place and connect it  The panels, side panels and partitions are twisted together.

In order to strengthen the strength of the gabion stome mesh panel structure, all panel edges wire are made of larger  diameter than the inside. The upper and lower corners of adjacent cage groups are connected by single or double- stranded composite wires with a distance of no more than 300mm and avoid galvanizing damage. If the gabion stone  cage group has the lower layer structure, when bundling the wire frames on the adjacent sides between the upper net  cage groups, the wire frames or nets of the lower gabion stone cage groups must be bundled together, tightened with  a spiral fixing wire, and connected together.

After the foundation is ready, place the pre-installed gabion stone cage without materials in the suitable place, and  connect the parts along the edges to form a continuous and unified whole. When filling stones, it needs to select the  stone materials that meet the corresponding quarrying rules. The filling must be inwardly, uniformly, and in batches.  and noted that when using artificial filling materials, the thickness of each batch must be controlled below 35cm.  Mechanized filling materials During construction, it is necessary to control the segmentation and uniform feeding in  the 1m high gabion stone cage. Ultra-large particle size stone can be broken by rock breaking machinery to meet the  needs. At last, flatten the top filler and seal, it is ready now.
