.1105 SPECIFIC CONDITIONS
(a) This general permit is applicable only along shorelines void of wetland vegetation including marsh ;rss and
wooded swamp, or where all construction is to be accomplished landward of such vegetation.
(b) Along natural shorelines e.g. rivers, creeks, bays, sounds, etc., bulkheads and riprap material must be positioned
as follows:
(1) Bulkheads must be positioned so as not to exceed more than an average distance of 2 feet waterward of the
mean high water mark, or the normal water level contour, whichever is applicable. In no case shall the
bulkhead be positioned more than 5 feet w•ateru•ard of the mean high water or normal water level contour at
any point along its alignment.
(2) Riprap must be positioned so as not to exceed a maximum of 5 feet waterward of the mean high water mark

SLVEWATER TRADING COMPANY
Galvanized Gabion Specifications
SCOPE
This specification covers the use of galvanized steel wire mesh baskets filed with stone used as retaininwalls,
slope paving, river bank protection, outfall structures, weirs and drop structures, etc.
DEFINITIONS
• Gabions are defined as galvanized steel wire mesh box -shaped baskets, of various sizes. The baskets are
filled on site with clean, hard stones.
• The selvedges of the gabions are the thicker perimeter and edge wires to which the wire mesh is securely tied
to withstand sudden or gradual stress from any direction.
• Reinforcing wires are the thicker wires incorporated into the netting during fabrication.
• The diaphragms are internal wire mesh partitions which divide the gabion into cells.
• Tiger-Tite Interlocking FastenerTM is used to assemble and join gabion units as an alternate to lacing wire to
speed gabion construction time.
• Lacing or binding wire is the wire used to assemble and join the gabion units.
• Connecting wires are the internal wires used to prevent the gabions from bulging.
• Tact Ties (TACT) are fabricated, preformed internal cross tie wires.
FABRICATION
Galvanized Steel Wire Mesh Gabions. Gabions shall be fabricated in such a manner that the sides, ends, lid and
diaphragms can be assembled at the construction site into rectangular baskets of the sizes specified and shown on
the drawings. Gabions shall be of single unitconstruction; the base, lid, ends, and sides shall be either woven into
a single unit or one edge of these members connected to the base section of the gabion in such a manner that
strength and flexibility at the connecting point does not compromise the engineered structural design of the gabion.
Where the length of the gabion exceeds one and one-half its horizontal width, the gabion shall be divided by
diaphragms of the same mesh and gauge as the body of the gabion, into cells whose length does not exceed the
horizontal width. The gabion shall be furnished with the necessary diaphragms secured in proper position on the
base in such a manner that no additional tying is required at this juncture.
Non -Raveling. The wire mesh is to be fabricated in such a manner as to be non -raveling. This is defined as the
ability to resist pulling apart at any of the twists or connections forming the mesh when a single wire strand in a
section of mesh is cut.
MATERIALS
Galvanized Steel Wire Mesh Gabions: Gabion basket units shall be of non -raveling construction and fabricated
from a double twist by twisting each pair of wires through three half turns developing the appearance of a triple
twist. The hexagonal mesh shall be hot dipped galvanized steel wire having a diameter of 0. 120 inches (US
gauge 11) after galvanization. The steel wire used shall be galvanized prior to weaving into mesh. All gabion
diaphragms and frame wires shall equal or exceed Federal Specification QQ-W461 H, possess a maximum tensile
strength of 70,000 PSI with a Finish 5, Class 3 zinc coating in accordance with the current ASTM A-641. The
weight of zinc coating shall be determined by ASTM A-90. The grade of zinc used for coating shall be High Grade
or Special High Grade as prescribed in ASTM B-6, Table 1. Uniformity of coating shall equal or exceed four 1-

minute dips by the Preece test, as determined by ASTM A-239. The mesh opening shall be hexagonal in shape
and uniform in size measuring not more than 3 1/4 inches by 4 1/2 inches. Selvedge or perimeter basket frame
wire shall be of a heavier gauge than the mesh wire with a diameter of 0.150 inches after galvanization. Lacing
and connecting wire shall meet the same specifications as the wire used in the gabion body except that its
diameter shall be of 0.091 inches (US gauge 13) after galvanization. The use of alternate wire fasteners shall be
permitted in lieu of tie wire providing the alternate fastener produces a four (4) wire selvedge joints with a strength
of 1400 lbs. per linear foot while remaining in a locked and closed condition. Properly formed interlocking
fasteners shall be spaced from 4 to 6 inches and have a minimum 3/4 square inch inside area to properly confine
the required selvedge wires. Tiger-Tite Interlocking Fasteners are an approved alternate joint material. The
Interlocking Wre Fastener shall meet material specification ASTM A-764, Finish 2, Class 1, Type 3.
All of the above wire diameters are subject to tolerance limit of 0.004 Inches In accordance with ASTM A-641.

ALTERNATE FASTENING SYSTEMS
TIGER TITES:
Must be fastened every six
inches along all seams.
HOG RINGS
Must be fastened every
three inches along all
seams.
LACING WIRE:
Must be looped through
every mesh opening,
alternating single and
double loops.
Tolerances. All gabion dimensions shall be within a tolerance limit of plus or minus 5% of the manufacturer's
stated size.
MESH DEFORMATION
The wire mesh shall have deformability sufficient to permit a minimum mesh elongation equivalent to 10% of the
unstretched length of the mesh test section without reducing the gauge or tensile strength of the individual wire
strands to values less than those for similar wire, one gauge smaller in diameter.
GABION FILL
The material used for gabion fill shall be clean, hard stone with pieces ranging from four (4) to eight (8) inches in
the greatest dimension. Stone filling shall not exceed a 12 inch vertical drop above the gabion basket.
ASSEMBLING AND PLACING
a) Each gabion shall be assembled by tying or fastening all untied edges. The binding wire shall be tightly
looped around every other mesh opening along the seams in such a manner that single and double loops are
alternated. The Tiger-Tite Interlocking Fastener shall be applied at approximately 4" to 6" intervals. A
minimum of two (2) interlocking fasteners per 1 foot, three (3) interlocking fasteners per 1.5 foot and six (6)
interlocking fasteners per 3 foot vertical or horizontal edge seam is required.
b) A line of empty gabions, with joints staggered, shall be placed into position according to the contract
drawings. Binding wire or Interlocking Fasteners shall be used to secure each unit to the adjoining one along
the vertical reinforced edges and the top selvedges. An approved corner closure tool shall be used to adjoin
adjacent gabions to insure a tight, neat seam and minimize gabion wire joint deformation. The base of the
empty gabions placed on top of a filled line of gabions shall be tightly wired or fastened to the latter at front
and back. The lid shall be secured with an approved closure tool to insure proper closure without excessive
mesh deformation.
c) To achieve optimum alignment and finish for retaining walls, a minimum amount of stretching may be
required.
d) Connecting wires shall be inserted during the filling operation in the following manner:
36" GABIONS & 18" GABIONS FOR VERTICAL STRUCTURES ON THE EXPOSED FACE
1) Gabions shall be filled to a depth of twelve (12) inches.
II) For end units, two connecting wires or preformed TACT Tie wires in each direction shall be tightly tied
to opposite faces of the end gabion cell at a height of twelve (12) inches above the base. Internal
compartments shall have internal connecting wires connecting front face to back face of the gabion.
Preformed TACT Ties are placed diagonal in the gabion cell.
III) Gabions shall be filled a further depth of twelve (12) inches, and two connecting or preformed TACT
Tie wires shall similarly be placed at this level.
IV) Gabions shall be filled to the top. Care shall be taken to insure gabion is not under filled.
All connecting wires shall be looped around two mesh openings and the ends of the wires shall be securely twisted
to prevent their loosening. TACT Tie wires envelope one horizontal twist on the front face and envelopes one
vertical twist on the side face.
Wire conforms to Federal Specifications QQ-W-461 H, Finish 5 and ASTM A-64
