MATTRESS TYPE GABION FOR MAKING PROTECTIVE COATING STRUCTURES INTENDED FOR APPLICATION TO EROSION-BASED SURFACES OF EROSION-BASED SURFACES

摘要

Gabion of the mattress type for producing protective coating structures, intended to be applied to erosion-prone surfaces of the type constituted by a wire mesh box-shaped structure consisting of a base fabric 1 having bends forming stiffening ribs 2 and longitudinal edges 5 delimiting filling compartments by a weight, and a fabric 3 constituting the cover of the structure, characterized in that two layers resulting from the folding of the base fabric 1 and constituting each respective stiffening rib are made jointly assembled and stable by a junction between homologous points and the warping adjacent the line of intersection with the bottom wall, said junction being made by wiring or braiding performed by manipulative means mechanical, especially automatic.
