Road rib gabion is a reinforced steel wire mesh structure filled with stones, designed to stabilize roadbeds and prevent erosion along highways and slopes. It features additional rib wires or stiffeners for enhanced strength and durability under heavy loads. Classified by mesh type, wire diameter, and structure (welded or woven), road rib gabions are widely used in embankment protection, retaining walls, and drainage systems. They offer excellent flexibility, stability, and resistance to deformation in demanding road engineering projects.
Wire Diameter: Usually ranges from 2.7 mm to 4.0 mm, depending on strength needs.
Rib Wire: Extra 4.0 mm to 5.0 mm rib wires are added for support and strength.
Wire Type: Made from galvanized or Galfan-coated steel wire; PVC coating is optional.
Mesh Size: Common mesh openings: 60×80 mm, 80×100 mm, or 100×120 mm.
Length: Standard lengths are 1.0 m, 2.0 m, 3.0 m, or 4.0 m.
Width: Widths are usually 0.5 m or 1.0 m, based on project needs.
Height: Heights range from 0.3 m to 1.0 m, depending on site requirements.
Diaphragms: Longer boxes have internal dividers every 1.0 m to hold shape.
Filler Material: Filled with angular stones sized around 100–200 mm.
Assembly: Shipped flat, then assembled on-site using wire or clips.
