The standard dimensions for ECCOfence Alubox gabions are (LxWxH* in cm):
- ECCOfence Alubox 40: 201 x 16,5 x 40 cm
- ECCOfence Alubox 90: 201 x 16,5 x 90 cm
- ECCOfence Alubox 140: 201 x 16,5 x 140 cm
- ECCOfence Alubox 190: 201 x 16,5 x 190 cm
ECCOfence Alubox kit includes the following items: 2 aluminum sides (L-profile) with EN AW-6060 T66 alloy and tolerance according to EN 755-9. Width of the side is 16.5 cm (= width of gabion). The side with L-profile also contains 2 holes for the M12 anchor bolts or ground anchor M12 (both optional to order). 2 wire mesh panels: these are made from 340 g/m² zinc-aluminum alloy. The meshes are 4 mm wide and 50 x 50 mm. Connecting ties (12 for Alubox 40, 18 for Alubox 90, 36 for Alubox 140 and 48 for Alubox 190): these are specially designed so that the panels are fixed both outwards and inwards. This prevents the panels from falling against each other during filling and ensures that they will not bend over time.
Installation material included with your order:
1 fitting plate of 1.98 cm length and 16.5 cm width: the fitting plate is a galfan plate with a thickness of 1.2 mm and it is made so that it automatically calibrates the distance between 2 sides in order to make the panels fit perfectly. Also included in the package are 6 wooden blocks that protect the ties during filling.
Required choice for your order:
- 1 upper profile of 201 cm length and 16.5 cm width. The upper profile also consists of aluminum alloy EN AW-6060 T66 and tolerance according to EN 755-9 OR
- if you prefer a galvanised top panel over an aluminium top profile, this is also possible.
The upper panel is made from a zinc-aluminum alloy of 340 g/m². The meshes are 4 mm wide and are 50 x 50 mm. The upper panel is 201 cm long and 16.5 cm wide. It is folded on the side, which makes it very easy to place it on the gabion. The upper panel is then secured with 6 plastic strips (optional to order).
The following items can be ordered optionally:
- 4 M12 anchor bolts per gabion: these have a 12 mm diameter drill hole and a depth of 85 mm. One anchor bolt can bear 2,150 kg, which is an enormous amount of weight. Feel free to purchase the wedge bolts from another manufacturer. Because the anchor bolt must be sufficiently anchored, it should always be set in concrete (min. 350 kg cement/m³). So this may not be anchored with stabelised sand OR
- 1 ground anchor per gabion + 1 additional ground anchor for the first gabion: each ground anchor contains 4 M12 bolts (height 670 mm), as well as a base (250 x 150 x 5 mm) and fitting plate (125 x 100 x 1 mm). The advantage of the ground anchor is that you can work with fast-setting concrete (curing time is only 2h)
