Shamba 2m x 1m x 1m Gabion Basket, 2.4mm Galvanized Wire

2m x 1m x 1m Gabion Basket

The Shamba 2.4mm Gabion Basket provides a heavy-duty solution for soil stabilization, erosion control, and the construction of gravity retaining walls on large-scale civil engineering sites. Manufactured from high-tensile galvanized steel wire, this unit utilizes a triple-twisted hexagonal mesh to maintain structural integrity under significant stone-fill pressure. It is designed for durability in harsh environmental conditions, including riverbanks and steep embankments.

Built for the Job

Contractors and site supervisors utilize this mesh cage for managing lateral earth pressure and preventing soil loss in areas prone to runoff. The triple-twist weaving technique ensures that if a single wire is cut or broken, the rest of the structure remains intact without unravelling. This flexibility allows the cage to settle and contour to ground movements without the cracking associated with rigid concrete structures. The 2m length provides a substantial footprint for stacking, making it suitable for multi-tiered wall systems where drainage and permeability are critical to preventing hydrostatic pressure buildup.

• Construction of permanent retaining walls for road embankments.

• Riverbank and shoreline protection against hydraulic scour.

• Culvert headwall reinforcement and drainage channel lining.

Product Highlights

Reinforced Structural Design

The unit features thicker selvedge wire along all edges to prevent deformation during the rock-filling process.

Corrosion Resistance

• Hot-dipped galvanized coating for long-term oxidation protection.
• Triple-twisted hexagonal mesh pattern for high tensile strength.

Technical Specifications

What’s Included

• 1 x 2m x 1m x 1m Unassembled Gabion Basket

• Internal Diaphragm (pre-attached for cell division)

On-Site & Workshop Notes

• Fill the structure with clean, hard stones ranging from 100mm to 200mm in size to ensure proper interlocking.

• Ensure the foundation is level and compacted before placing the first course of mesh containers.

• Use standard lacing wire to secure the edges and corners of adjacent units for maximum wall stability.

• Install internal bracing wires at one-third and two-thirds height intervals to prevent outward bulging during filling.
