Why gabion gabion bank protection is better than concrete, slurry masonry bank protection slope

In river management, bank protection and other water conservancy projects, the choice of suitable bank protection materials is crucial. Gabion mesh gabions as a new type of bank protection slope protection materials, in recent years in the practical application gradually show its superiority. Compared with the traditional concrete and masonry slope protection, gabion gabion slope protection has obvious advantages in many aspects, the following are some of my views and opinions.

From the point of view of ecological and environmental protection, the gabion gabion bank protection slope uses natural stone as the main material, and the filler is also mostly gravel or pebbles. These materials come from a wide range of sources and do not pollute the environment. On the other hand, concrete and slurry stone bank protection slope need to consume a lot of cement, sand and other resources in the production process, which not only consumes high energy, but also is likely to produce environmental pollution. In addition, gabion gabion bank protection slope has good water permeability, can maintain the natural exchange of water and soil, is conducive to the maintenance of ecological balance. Concrete and masonry berms and slopes tend to block this natural exchange, which has a certain impact on the ecological environment.

From the aspect of engineering stability, gabion gabion bank protection slope has good overall stability and flexibility. The gabion gabion is made of high-strength steel wire woven to form a flexible overall structure. When subjected to water scouring, wave impact and other external forces, the gabion mesh gabion can be deformed to a certain extent to adapt to the external forces, so as to maintain the overall stability. Concrete and masonry berms and slopes are often prone to cracking, collapse and other damages because of their high rigidity. In addition, the gabion gabion bank protection slope also has a strong anti-slip ability, can effectively prevent slippage and destabilization of the bank slope.

From the perspective of construction convenience and economy, gabion gabion bank protection also has obvious advantages. The production and installation of gabion gabions is relatively simple and does not require complex construction equipment and specialized technology. Concrete and masonry slope protection requires high construction technology and specialized equipment, and the construction is more difficult. In addition, the material cost of gabion gabion bank protection slope is relatively low, and the transportation and installation cost is also low, so it has a certain economic advantage in the overall cost.

From the long-term maintenance and service life, gabion gabion bank protection slope also has advantages. The wire mesh of gabion gabions has high corrosion resistance and durability, and can be used for a long time in harsh environments without being easily damaged. Concrete and masonry revetments, on the other hand, are subject to breakage and failure due to aging of the material and environmental erosion. In addition, when the gabion gabion revetment slope is damaged, it can be easily repaired and replaced locally without dismantling and rebuilding the entire structure, thus reducing maintenance costs and difficulty.

In short, the gabion gabion bank protection slope is better than concrete and masonry bank protection slope in terms of ecological protection, engineering stability, construction convenience and economy, as well as long-term maintenance and service life. Therefore, in the actual project, the choice of gabion mesh gabions as bank protection slope protection material is a more reasonable and feasible choice.
