and Mattresses can be used to stabilize and control corrosion at coastal areas and riverbanks.

Gabions are essentially wire mesh baskets filled with rocks to form monolithic gravity mass structures which are
used primarily as retaining walls to stabilize slopes and embankments. Working together with our customers
and consultants / Professional Engineers, end users are mainly Government Agencies and developers. With
proper design and specification with specific applications, Samson Gabion and Mattresses can be custom-
made with multiple dimensions to suit any requirements.

Samson Gabions and Mattresses are constructed using Heavily Galvanized Wire with or without PVC coating
and the wires comply with BS 1052 and have an average tensile strength of 380 - 550N/mm2. The minimum
PVC coating is 0.55mm as per compliance with BS 4102 which translates to an overall nominal diameter of the
PVC coated wires of 3.30mm and 3.80mm respectively. Apart from that, all Heavily Galvanized Wires is
galvanized in accordance to BS 443 which stipulates the minimum required zinc coating weight as follows;

Wire Size Min. Coating Weight

2.20mm 240g/m2
2.70mm 260g/m2
3.40mm 275g/m2

Samson Gabions and Mattresses are constructed by flexible double twisted mesh designed not to be easily
unraveled. Filled with natural stones, over time, soil particles will be deposited into the small voids of the
stones, allowing pockets of vegetation to take root. This camouflage can provide a more natural look in any
retaining structure or corrosion control project.
