FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (First Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized
by the Wire Ropes and Wire Products Sectional Committee had been approved by the Mechanical Engineering
Division Council.
Gabions are widely used to protect land from erosion, channel lining, construction of earth retaining structures,
etc. It was, therefore, felt necessary to develop an Indian Standard on mechanically woven gabions due to large
use of the item for hilly areas, river beds, forest area as well as near sea beds for protection of land and minimize
land erosion. This standard also specifies the requirements for revet mattresses, sack gabions, soil reinforcement
facia units and rock fall netting. Based on their use, all the products may be galvanized with polymer coating
therefore, those requirements have also been added in this standard.
There is a separate Indian Standard which lays down requirements for welded wire fabric gabions and gabion
mattresses (metallic-coated or metallic-coated with PVC coating).
This standard does not intend to address all of the safety concerns associated with the use of gabions and gabion
mattresses and other products. It is the responsibility of the manufacturers and users of this standard to establish
and employ appropriate safety measures and also to ensure compliance to applicable regulations.
In the formulation of this standard, considerable guidance has been taken from ASTM A975-97 ‘Standard
specification for double-twisted hexagonal mesh gabions and revet mattresses [metallic-coated steel wire or
metallic-coated steel wire with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) coating]’, EN 10223-3 ‘Steel wire and wire products —
Part 3: Hexagonal steel wire mesh products for civil engineering purposes’ and Section 2500 of MORTH — Fifth
revision, ‘Specifications for roads and bridges’.
The composition of the Committee responsible for the formulation of this standard is given in Annex B.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with the final value,
observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised )’. The number of significant places retained in the
rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

IS 16014 : 2018
Working life (Product): The period of time during which the performance of a product will be maintained at a level that enables a properly
designed and executed works to fulfill the essential requirements (i.e the essential requirements of a product meet or exceed minimum
acceptable values without incurring major cost of repair and maintanence). The working life of a product depends on the inherent durability
and normal installation and maintanance.
A clear distinction has to be made between the assumed economically reasonable working life for a product (also called: design working
life), which underlies the assessment of durability in technical specifications, and actual working life of product in a works. The latter
depends on many factors beyond the control of producer, such as design, locationof use (Exposure), installation, use and maintanance.
The asssumed working life can thus not be interpreted as the guarantee given by the producer.
Technical specifications writers will have to view about the “normal” working life of the products that they deal with. The assumed working
life of a product should take account of the assumed working life of the works, ease and cost of repair or replacement of the product,
maintanance reuirements and exposure conditions.
Note: The table is not applicable for mesh used for paving reinforcements.
Gabion products immersed in water (saline and/or polluted water) and/or in contact with alkaline solutions, or gabions which are subject to
a)
abrasive conditions (sand storms, metal particles etc) shall be metallic coated with plastic coating or shall be made from stainless steel wire.
b)
There exists more advanced metallic coatings with superior corrosion protection. In terms of salt spray performance (EN ISO 9227), it means that
the mesh samples shall not show more than 5 percent of DBR (Dark Brown Rust) after 2 000 h of exposure on the surface. When subjected to
test in sulphur dioxide environment (ISO 6988), mesh samples shall not show more than 5 percent of DBR (Dark Brown Rust) after 56 cycles of
discontinuous test on the surface. So, assumed working life values will be improved depending on the prevailing conditions.
