1. Project Background: Growing Demand for Gabions in the UK In river restoration, flood prevention, rural road slope stabilization, and landscape retaining walls, gabion structures continue to be widely used across the United Kingdom. With the country’s strong focus on sustainability and environmental performance, gabions—known for their permeability, durability, and vegetation-friendly characteristics—are increasingly favored by local councils and civil engineering contractors. UK projects commonly require: High mesh accuracy Compatibility with galvanized or Galfan + PVC-coated wires Consistent long-term structural stability Among all specifications, 80×100mm is one of the most widely used and standardized mesh sizes for riverbank protection and landscape retaining applications.   2. Client Profile The client is a mid-sized civil engineering contractor in Northern England, mainly undertaking: Riverbank restoration Small-scale flood defense works Rural road and farmland slope stabilization Landscape retaining walls and ecological embankments They previously relied entirely on purchasing ready-made gabions, but encountered several issues: Client Pain Points Rising procurement costs and unpredictable delivery times 80×100mm meshes are in high demand but often out of stock from suppliers Local council projects require flexible and fast delivery schedules The company wanted to strengthen its competitiveness by having in-house gabion production capability   3. JINLIDA’s Solution ✔ CNC Gabion Machine Optimized for 80×100mm Mesh Based on the client’s focus on riverbank and slope protection projects, JINLIDA supplied an 80×100mm dedicated model, ensuring: Higher mesh accuracy Flatter mesh surfaces More consistent gabion box dimensions   ✔ Compatible with UK Wire Standards and Coatings The machine is compatible with: Hot-dip galvanized wire Galfan (Zn-Al) wire Galvanized + PVC-coated wire   Together with JINLIDA’s tension-control system, the coating remains intact during weaving—no peeling, cracking, or layer damage.   ✔ Precision and Stability That Meet UK Engineering Standards Key machine features include: CNC accuracy control for consistent mesh openings Heavy-duty transmission for handling thicker wires used in 80×100mm gabions Automatic lubrication for stable long-term operation Automatic flattening system to ensure smooth, deformation-resistant mesh surfaces These capabilities align with common technical requirements in UK civil and landscape engineering projects.   ✔ Full Installation, Commissioning, and Training Support   As this was their first machinery purchase, the client was concerned about operation difficulty. JINLIDA provided: On-site commissioning Operator training Daily maintenance guidance Remote technical support This ensured the machine could enter regular production within a short time.   4. Client Results   After installation, the contractor reported: Stable mesh accuracy, with all 80×100mm gabion boxes passing engineering inspections on the first attempt Stronger competitiveness in local council tenders thanks to their own production capacity Greater flexibility in scheduling project deliveries Better cost control and more stable profit margins Consistently flat mesh appearance, highly approved by landscape architects and design engineers   The success of this investment encouraged the client to treat “in-house gabion production” as a long-term strategic capability, with plans to expand with additional JINLIDA machines.

A gabion manufacturer in Algeria supplies products for local reservoirs, slope protection, and road reinforcement projects. As project demand increased, they found manual edge-wrapping becoming a bottleneck: Manual speed was slow and inconsistent Product appearance varied between workers Uneven edges made assembly at construction sites more difficult To enhance production efficiency and product consistency, the factory upgraded to the JINLIDA Automatic Edge-Wrapping Machine.     Results After the Upgrade 2–3x Increase in Edge-Wrapping Speed One machine now completes the work of two workers, with stable and continuous output. Cleaner Appearance & More Uniform Gabion Boxes Consistent edging ensures straight lines and a more professional final look. Faster On-Site Assembly Minimal deviation allows contractors to install gabion boxes more quickly and easily. Reduced Labor Dependence & More Stable Quality Less variability, fewer defects, and smoother production overall.     Customer Feedback (Algeria) “Our gabions now look more uniform and professional. The JINLIDA edging machine has made our production faster and more consistent.”

In Malaysia, gabions are widely used for riverbank rehabilitation, flood-control structures, slope stabilisation, and highway retaining walls. With increasing investment from national and state-level agencies (JPS, JKR), the demand for high-quality and large-volume gabion mesh continues to rise.   Challenges Before JINLIDA: A supplier in Selangor struggled to meet project deadlines due to: 1.Insufficient output 2.Inconsistent mesh geometry 3.High breakdown frequency 4.Difficulty meeting government engineering specifications   This created major delivery risks for ongoing river and drainage upgrade projects.   JINLIDA’s Solution: The company installed the JINLIDA GLD-4300 CNC gabion mesh production line, completed in just three days of commissioning.   After deployment: 1.Output increased by more than 60% 2.Mesh size accuracy stabilised, meeting JPS/JKR engineering requirements 3.24/7 continuous operation enabled faster fulfillment of public-works contracts 4.Automatic lubrication & tension control reduced maintenance downtime 5.Scrap rate dropped below 1%, saving material cost   The supplier successfully secured more long-term government supply contracts and improved its market position in Malaysia. Result: “Before, we worried about delivery. Now, we worry the warehouse isn’t big enough.” — Feedback from the Malaysian partner   JINLIDA’s CNC gabion production system helped the customer scale from a mid-sized workshop to a high-capacity supplier serving Malaysia’s rapidly growing infrastructure market.
