Standards and regulations for PVC-coated steel gabions apply:
- Refer to the designs of gabions used in flood and storm response and traffic safety phase 1 approved by the General Department of Water Resources from 2012 to 2018 and Maccaferri’s Italian standards.
- National Standard TCVN 10335:2014 “Rock gabions, rock mattresses and double twisted hexagonal wire mesh products for construction of waterway traffic works – Technical requirements”; TCVN 2053-1993 “Common galvanized steel wire”.
- Current technical standards and regulations applied in the transportation and water resources sectors.
- Basic standard: “Gravity stone gabion wall – Design, construction and acceptance requirements” TCCS13:2016/TCĐBVN.
- Hexagonal double twisted mesh with mesh symbol (100×120)mm and nominal mesh size (102×135)mm.
Manufacturing requirements:
- The hexagonal double twisted mesh is made from galvanized PVC-coated wire produced on a hexagonal double twisted mesh weaving line to form continuous mesh panels before gabion fabrication.
- Mesh size: The mesh size (X,Y) is determined from the center of two consecutive twisted corners at right angles to the mesh axis. Hexagonal double twisted mesh with mesh symbol (100×120)mm and nominal mesh size (102×135)mm.
- Permissible tolerance of mesh size: ± 5%.
- PVC coating: using UV resistance test method.
- The diameter of the mesh wire is measured by a micrometer with an accuracy of 0.01mm.
- The coating is free of cracks, breaks and color changes.
- The quality of the twists between the wires and the wire surface is inspected visually.
- The mesh is twisted 3 times, mesh size (100×120)mm, tolerance ± 5%.
