What is explosion-proof gabion mesh？

The material gabion mesh

Military explosion-proof mesh, also known as explosion-proof wall or explosion-proof cage, is mainly made of mesh galvanized steel and polypropylene inside. This material makes the explosion-proof net not only sturdy and durable, but also has good corrosion resistance. Metal wire mesh containers are usually made of high carbon steel wire, which is welded through special welding processes, resulting in significantly improved yield strength, welding strength, and other indicators. The surface treatment adopts hot-dip galvanizing or zinc aluminum alloy process, further enhancing the corrosion resistance performance. In addition, heavy-duty non-woven geotextile liners have flame retardant and UV resistant properties, which improve the safety and service life during transportation, installation, and use.

The role of gabion mesh

The main function of military explosion-proof nets is to provide protection. It can be filled with stones inside the net for slope protection, river control, coastal protection, reservoir, canal and pipeline repair, protection, flood control embankments, etc. In terms of military defense, explosion-proof nets form a simple protective wall by filling it with stones, sand, or other fillers, effectively defending against attacks from light weapons. In addition, the explosion-proof net can also be pre bound with geotextile inside the net cage, which makes it easier to obtain materials and has fewer restrictions.

The usage scenarios of gabion mesh

Military explosion-proof nets are widely used in modern warfare, especially in desert and Gobi areas where stone resources are scarce. It can quickly form a sturdy wire mesh protective wall and is widely used due to its easy installation, foldability, and convenient handling. Explosion proof nets can be used in various scenarios such as retaining embankments, highway slope reinforcement, military exercises, and human CS defense. In addition, it can also be used to construct military facilities such as lookout posts, helicopter protection walls, roadblocks, and barracks.

Real battlefield case of explosion-proof gabion mesh

Explosion proof walls are widely used in the US military, including building warehouses, shooting ranges, dormitories, ammunition depots, command posts, garages, aircraft hangars, oil depots, equipment rooms, and other military fortifications and protective barriers. This type of explosion-proof wall has been recognized by the United Nations and military forces of various countries due to its advanced features such as easy portability, quick installation, diverse colors, varied structures, and rapid dismantling, and has been widely used. In the Iraq War, the US military used blast walls to reduce damage to passengers from roadside bombs, car bombs, and rockets, effectively protecting personnel and equipment.
