  GABION CRATES OR WIRE CRATE ARE ALSO USED AS A PROTECTION WORK FOR PROTECTING LARGE MASSES OF EARTH. THEY CAN BE USED AS RETAINING AS WELL AS BREAST WALL. WIRE CRATES ARE AVAILABLE IN DIFFERENT SIZES AS PER THE SITE REQUIREMENTS. WIRE CRATES ARE MOSTLY ZINC COATED SO THAT RUST DOESNOT AFFECT THEM. WIRE CRATES ARE EASY TO LAY AND EFFECTIVE IN WORK. STONES ARE PACKED IN LAYERS IN WIRE CRATES AND WHICH IS EVENTUALLY LOCKED BHY JOINING WIRES MAKING IT AS A COMPLETE STRUCTURE.

  It is substructure part of bridge which supports superstructure.  Abutment are reinforced structure and are constructed in high strength Concrete Mix Design. Formwork should be proper so that no leaking on concrete takes place . Bridges are very important part of modern fast moving life providing better connectivity across different regions. Being a very important aspect of engineering proper care should be taken while constructing such structure.

 

BREAST walls are provided to hold in place  mass of earth or excavation. They provide stability to natural slope. In these photos  walls are being provided in dry  stone masonry with Random Rubble masonry in 1:6  mix cement sand mortar in vertical bands and concrete in bottom.
