Reaffirmed 2023

1. SCOPE

This standard specifies requirements for gabions and gabion mattresses manufactured from metalliccoated welded wire fabric, and metallic-coated wire for spiral binders, lacing wire, and stiffeners. The metallic-coated fabric may be Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) coated after fabrication. The spiral binders, lacing wire, and stiffeners may be PVC coated after metallic coating.
