Wire Mesh for Drainage Channels and Canal Lining

Which wire mesh is used for drainage channels and canal lining?

Short answer: Use gabion mattresses for canal lining, 2" x 2" 10G GI welded mesh under concrete lining, and heavy-gauge woven mesh for trash screens.
For drainage channel and canal lining protection, gabion mattresses (flat gabion panels 0.17m to 0.3m thickness) filled with gravel or stone are the standard solution for irrigation department projects. For smaller drainage channels in construction sites, GI welded wire mesh 2" x 2" aperture, 10 gauge is used as a support layer under concrete lining. For trash screens and debris screens at drainage inlet points, use GI woven wire mesh 1" to 2" aperture in heavy gauge (8G to 10G) to withstand water flow pressure. Irrigation and MGNREGS drainage projects typically specify IS 14322 compliant gabion material - we supply with test certificates for all government work.
