1.1 Subject<\/b><\/p>\n
This European Standard specifies requirements for the mechanical properties, dimensions, coatings, test methodology and delivery conditions of welded mesh gabions products. The general meaning of welded mesh gabion is a metallic box made of welded wire mesh to be filled with stone or other suitable material.<\/p>\n
Only the characteristics of the metallic cage are subject of this document.<\/p>\n
Filling materials, e.g. coarse armourstone, are covered in other standards.<\/p>\n
This document covers gabions produced from welded wire fabric and accessories coated with a zinc coating, a hot-dip galvanization or a zinc-aluminium alloy, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or stainless steel. Accessories include complementary materials such as spiral binders, rings, lacing wires, tie-rods or spacers.<\/p>\n
1.2 Intended use<\/b><\/p>\n
The intended use for the considered construction product is: earth retention, soil reinforcement systems, river training, erosion control purposes, slope retention, sound barriers, fencing, landscaping, covering or cladding as well as architectural purposes.<\/p>\n
Figure 1 below shows some relevant examples of applications of gabions.<\/p>\n
