Double-twisted wire mesh gabions and mattresses
Gabions and mattresses made from double-twisted wire mesh are structures manufactured from hexagonal steel mesh which, once filled with stone, form a stable, permeable and durable system.
Their flexibility allows them to accommodate minor ground movements without compromising structural integrity or performance.
Where are gabions and mattresses used?
Gabion structures are commonly used for:
● bank and slope protection;
● watercourse and channel lining protection;
● retaining wall construction;
● erosion control works;
● slope stabilisation;
● culvert outlet protection;
● infrastructure landscaping and earth retention systems.
Gabion mattresses are primarily used for surface protection of soil and channel beds against scour and erosion.
Why choose double-twisted wire mesh systems?
The key advantages of gabions and mattresses include:
● flexibility and resistance to uneven settlement;
● high water permeability without the need for additional drainage systems;
● resistance to hydraulic and hydrodynamic forces;
● adaptation to complex terrain geometry;
● long-term durability in infrastructure and hydraulic engineering applications;
● easy integration with natural surroundings and vegetation.
Which parameters are important when selecting a system?
The selection process should consider the type of mesh, the diameter of the mesh and selvedge wire, mesh opening size, corrosion protection coating, element dimensions, structure height and expected service conditions.
Hydraulic and geotechnical loads should also be taken into account.
Technical characteristics
● mesh type: double-twisted wire mesh;
● mesh wire diameter for gabion baskets: 2.7–3.0 mm;
● mesh wire diameter for mattresses: 2.2–2.7 mm;
● selvedge / reinforcing wire diameter: 3.4–3.9 mm;
● mesh opening sizes: 60×80 mm, 80×100 mm, 120×140 mm;
● coatings: zinc, Zn-Al (Galfan), polymer coating over metallic protection.

Technical notes
● Mattresses generally use smaller wire diameters and lower structural heights.
● The choice of coating depends on environmental aggressiveness and the required service life.
● System parameters should be adapted to hydraulic loads and operating conditions.
● Double-twisted mesh systems perform well in areas subject to minor ground deformation.
