Many construction projects involve poor soils. New road projects frequently encounter areas where soils have inadequate load-bearing capabilities. Often, too, reinforcement is required to provide stability for steepened slopes. Conventional design in slope construction demands either space-wasting gradual slopes or expensive cantilever walls. In road construction, it is often necessary to improve the low weight-bearing capacity of poor sub-soil by using thick layers of expensive granular fill material. Today's geogrids make it possible to build extremely stable earthen structures at much lower costs than older construction methods. Geogrids are net-shaped synthetic polymer-coated fibers that are used to reinforce earth-fill slope, wall and base layer construction. Incorporated in the base layers of paved or finished surfaces, or in surface layers of walls and slopes, they provide a stabilizing force within the soil structure itself. This stabilization occurs as the fill interlocks with the grid. The interlocking effect is determined by the geogrid strength, mesh size and base materials used. Typical Applications: Slope Reinforcement: Highway embankments, overpasses, landslide or erosion-prone surfaces and landfill walls. Base Reinforcement: Foundations for roads, parking lots, railroad track beds, airport tarmacs and runways. Wall Reinforcement: Retaining walls, airport noise barriers, bridge supports and sea walls. Berm Reinforcement: Spillway channels for earthen dams, levees and waste containment ponds. Schanskorven Gabion Baskets Co., Ltd. is dedicated to providing solutions for domestic and international water projects, road and rail, marine engineering, rock fall protection engineering, landslides and mud-rock flow management protection. The company mainly produces: gabion baskets, gabion box, gabion mesh, gabion cage, hexagonal wire nettng, gabion mat, gabion mattresses, zinc coated gabions and plastic coated gabions. We have constantly studied the contemporary embankment slope protection technology and have concentrated on technology innovation. We offer gabion baskets and river mattresses with galvanized or together with a PVC coating to prevent corrosion of the steel wire. Hexagonal woven mesh netting is the chief wire materials for gabion mattresses for large areas and for rock-fall mesh netting. Geotextiles are normally used with gabion baskets to prevent/limit movement of soil particles through or underneath the gabion structure. Schanskorven is equipped with innovative technology to provide the high quality gabion products and services.
