green Terramesh (gabions)
| |
The Green Terramesh is an environmentally friendly modular system used for soil reinforcement in mechanically stabilised slopes and embankments. Green Terramesh units are factory assembled units manufactured from continuous, heavily galvanised and PVC coated steel wire mesh. The wire is hexagonal woven, into a common referred to double twist wire mesh configuration. The facing section of the unit is reinforced with additional PVC coated steel rods inserted through the twist during the manufacturing process. Attached to the inside facing is a geosynthetic or a biodegradable Erosion Control Blanket (ECB), a welded steel panel and two steel brackets, preformed to a 70¡ãslope angle. The ECB protects the backfill soil and permits a vegetative cover to establish rapidly. It may consist of a permanent geosynthetic three dimensional geomat"MacMat™"(Water Type for hydraulic applications) or a biodegradable 100% coconut fibre biomat"BioMac™"(Soil Type for dry applications). The welded steel panel placed behind the ECB adds strength and provides support to the facing while holding the blanket in place during construction. |
