Wire Mesh for Gabion Retaining Walls and River Bank Protection

Which wire mesh is used for gabion retaining walls and river bank protection?

Short answer: Use double-twisted hexagonal gabion mesh with 2.7 mm to 3.4 mm hot-dip galvanized wire, meeting IS 14322 for government work.
Double-twisted hexagonal wire mesh (also called gabion mesh) is the correct product. Standard gabion box sizes are 1m x 1m x 1m and 2m x 1m x 0.5m - these are assembled on site and filled with local stone. Wire specification is 2.7mm to 3.4mm hot-dip galvanized and must meet IS 14322 for government projects. For river bank protection in high-water-velocity areas, use 3.4mm wire with PVC coating for extended life. Gabion mesh is supplied for NHAI road embankment projects, PWD retaining walls, irrigation department river bank protection, and BRO border road projects. We supply gabion mesh in standard coils that contractors assemble into boxes on site. Government tender specifications always mention IS 14322 - confirm this when ordering for any PWD or government work.
