Ecological gabion cage technology has four advantages
First, the construction is simple. The ecological gabion cage process only needs to put the stones into the cage for sealing, without special technology or water and electricity.
Second, the cost is low.
Third, good landscape and protection effect. The combination of engineering measures and plant measures adopted in the ecological gabion cage process can effectively prevent water and soil loss, and the landscape effect is faster, more natural and richer.
Fourth, it has a long service life. The process life of ecological gabion cage is as long as decades, and generally does not need maintenance. It is precisely because of this that this process has been adopted in the embankment project of Huangshi section of the Yangtze River, the flood control embankment protection project of Taihu Lake and the sanduping revetment project of the Three Gorges.
Purpose of gabion mesh
1. It can be used for river embankment reinforcement. The gabion net cage used to strengthen the river embankment is generally on the inner side of the embankment. It is mainly used in places where the river velocity is relatively rapid. The river scours the gabion net instead of directly scouring the river embankment, so as to reduce the damage to the river embankment.
2. Reinforced gabion net can also be used to guide river water. The river will generally flow along the inherent channel, and the channel may have a naturally formed curved channel. In case of flood, the water volume is huge, the water flow is turbulent, and the water flow will tend to flow straight under inertia, which will violently impact the original channel and dam, and may change the channel of the river, which will cause great disaster.
3. The network is also applied to flood discharge dam and diversion dam to guide or restrict flood.
4. At the same time, it is also widely used in highway, railway, construction and other fields, with good engineering, economic and environmental benefits.
