GABION PROS

Quality IS OUR GOAL

We are GABION PROS a member of the Lweco Group LLC with over 13 years of experience in the gabion business has taught us that quality is essential in manufacturing gabions. For that reason, Gabion Pros requires that its fabricators offer all its products with a strict set of internal standards. This guarantees the highest possible quality and consistency in our welded wire mesh panels and double twisted wire mesh. Throughout each production run, panels are checked for dimension, squareness, and strength then confirmed that every panel meets our standards and is exactly the same as the one before it.

What is Welded Wire Mesh?

Welded wire mesh is constructed with two orthogonal wires that are joined together at their intersections using a resistance welding process to form a grid. The line wires of the grid are guided through the welder using a pattern board. The machine drops cross wires into place and fuses them together to create the two distinctive planes that form welded wire mesh.

Our fabricators utilize fully automated CNC grid welding machines and CNC jig welders that produce wire panels to exact specifications.

How is Welded Wire Mesh Made ?

To begin, the operator lays out line wires (also called long wires) on a pattern board. This sets the panel’s spacing width. Cross wires are then fed into a hopper. Programming is set to drop one at a time onto the line wires. Once in place, the cross wires are resistance welded at each intersection. This sets the panel spacing length. The panel then advances after each weld. This welding process repeats until each sheet finishes. The panel is then removed from the welder, and the next begins.

PRE-GALVANIZED

The standard corrosive resistant coating for gabions is “Pre-Galvanized” (GBW) wire. It consists of plain carbon steel which has been coated with a layer of Zinc during the wire drawing process.

HOT DIPPED GALVANIZED

Hot-dip galvanization is a form of galvanization. It is the process of coating steel with zinc after welding, which alloys with the surface of the base metal - SPECIAL ORDER

GALFAN

We offer GALFAN coated wire as a special option. It is a carbon steel wire with a coating of 95% zinc and 5% aluminum. The thicker zinc coating and the added aluminum makes this wire more corrosion resistant than “Regular Coating” pre-galv wire. SPECIAL ORDER

CORTEN WEATHERING STEEL WIRE

Compared to plain steel, weathering steel contains a chemical composition that increases its resistance to atmospheric corrosion. Made to rust under the influence of weather, weathering steel develops a patina that acts as a protective layer to prevent corrosion of the steel. This material is suited for many applications in its unpainted condition. With time and consistent exposure to the elements, the weathering steel will go from a yellow-orange, to a deep rust orange color, to a dark brown. SPECIAL ORDER

STAINLESS STEEL

The very best solution for corrosion resistance is Type 316L Stainless Steel wire for gabions in salt water.

Type 304 Stainless Steel is the most common type used for architectural and industrial applications

The specific types of stainless steels are manufactured to improve performance in corrosion resistance, formability, and aesthetics. Stainless steel is steel with the addition of chromium. The chromium produces an oxide layer at the surface that is known as the “Passive layer”. This passive layer protects and prevents further corrosion. Other metals such as nickel, molybdenum, titanium, manganese are added throughout the types of stainless steels. SPECIAL ORDER

WOVEN DECO-WIRE MESH

Shown here is a simple, flat wire architectural woven DECO-WIRE mesh pattern with a gentle smooth shape. This mesh lends itself well for architectural gabions and trellises. It can be woven in a wide range of square or diamond patterns and remains a classic design spanning both traditional and modern aesthetics. This architectural wire mesh is available in Galvanized Steel, Plain & Weathered Steel, Stainless Steel, Brass, Bronze and a number of plated finishes.
