GABION BOXES & MATTRESSES
The LINK MIDDLE EAST diffrence?
manufacturing Introduction For over a century, triple twist hexagonal mesh has been used with success in construction work worldwide. Boxes and mattresses made of hexagonal mesh fabric, known as protector gabions, are a valid and effective technical solution in the design, construction and maintenance of a variety of protective flexible structures.
All LINK MIDDLE EAST gabions are manufactured from steel rod that is then drawn down to the appropriate diameter for use in our products. We can supply product with wire diameters ranging from 2mm to 5mm. All wire conforms to international standards for tensile strength and tolerances.
This brochure attempts to take a brief look at the many applications of protector gabions and different protection methods. Illustrations are reproduced from various projects where protector gabions were supplied by Link Middle East Ltd. from Gulf Fencing Industry, Dubai.
The wire is then coated in our factory with either a heavy zinc or Galfan® protection that meets international standards for both consistency and quality of such coatings. If required, we can additionally coat the product with an organic PVC for additional protection, in a range of colours.
Gabions offer proven technical and commercial advantages and therefore, a first choice which is cost effective and therefore preferable to alternative solutions.
The wire is welded into appropriate panel sizes to produce the LINKWELD ™ gabion.
Gabions, by virtue of their matchless strength, excellent engineering adaptability and proven reliability, have become the chosen building material for a tremendous variety of construction works.
Please ask for our detailed data sheet on the LINKWELD™ gabion for all technical requirements.
Link Middle East offers a viable alternative to costly import of gabions and also specializes in complete fencing systems. The logistics involved in shipping and transformation of these systems mean cost effectiveness and timely supply.
These include road construction, river training, weirs, control and training of natural and flood waters, earth retaining structures, water recharge dams, retaining walls, rock slide protection, Irish crossings, coastal defense, harbor works, soil erosion protection and bridge protection. With a proven track record of being in the Gabion business for over two decades, our hexagonal mesh products have a reputation of being the best in quality. Conforming to major international standards specified, these products have been certified by BBA-UK, AFNOR-France & Copro-Belguim, these Gabions are a preffered choice of consultants and contractors alike.

The LINK MIDDLE EAST offers? Gabion’s Mesh Type
•
advantages of using Gabion
• Ability to deform without cracking allowing the structure to withstand unpredictable moment or settlement without loss of stability. • Higher resistance to natural forces dueto better tensile strength. • Simple installation procedure using natural or quarried stones obtained locally. • Majority of manpower need not be skilled. • The gabion structure blends easily and harmoniously with natural surroundings.

Protector gabion boxes and mattresses are made of triple twist hexagonal mesh fabric. The fabric is woven netting made of mild steel wires. Steel mesh fabric possesses high mechanical strength, and triple twist weaving of wire prevents unravelling. The wires strictly conform to major International standards for hot dip galvanising and GALFAN (Alu-Zinc) coating, ensuring a long life. These hot dip galvanised and GALFAN(Alu-Zinc) (95%Zn + 5% Al) coated wires can be PVC (poly-vinyl chloride), PP (polypropylene) or PE (polyethylene) coated to safeguard against corrosion and other weathering effects, especially when the gabions are to be used in salty and highly polluted environments. It is of vital importance that the construction materials chosen meet high standards with regard to engineering requirements - and at the same time are environmentally friendly. Protector gabions stand out as simple, efficient and economical solution, as the cages are simply filled with natural stone. Protector gabions have the following positive advantages:
