Geomesh™
Geomesh™ is engineered specifically for the construction of gabion baskets, Reno mattresses, retaining walls, erosion control systems, shoreline stabilization structures, scour protection systems, and other critical infrastructure applications.
Manufactured using Riverdale’s advanced Galvanized After Welding (GAW) process, Geomesh is fabricated first and then fully galvanized, ensuring complete zinc coverage at every weld intersection for superior corrosion resistance and long-term durability.
Produced in the United States at Riverdale’s vertically integrated manufacturing facility, Geomesh delivers the quality, consistency, and specification compliance required for demanding infrastructure projects.
Geomesh is manufactured to ASTM A974 requirements for welded wire fabric gabions and gabion mattresses, with applicable ASTM A641, ASTM A856/A856M, and ASTM A90 standards.
Welded Gabions vs. Woven Gabions
Welded wire gabions provide greater dimensional stability, shape retention, and face alignment than traditional woven systems. Their rigid construction helps maintain design geometry, simplifies stone placement, reduces bulging, and creates cleaner finished structures.
These characteristics make welded gabions particularly well suited for retaining walls, transportation infrastructure, commercial developments, and architectural applications where appearance and dimensional accuracy are important.
The Geomesh Difference: Galvanized After Welding
Many welded mesh products are fabricated from pre-galvanized wire. During the welding process, portions of the zinc coating may be consumed at the weld intersection, potentially creating corrosion initiation points.
Geomesh solves this with Riverdale’s Galvanized After Welding (GAW) process: the mesh is fabricated first and then fully galvanized, ensuring zinc coverage over the entire finished panel, including every weld intersection. The result is enhanced corrosion protection, improved durability, and extended service life in demanding infrastructure environments.
Why Choose Geomesh?
-
Engineered for Performance
Flexible, permeable Geomesh gabion systems dissipate hydrostatic pressure and adapt to differential settlement more effectively than rigid concrete structures.
-
Superior Corrosion Protection & Lower Lifecycle Costs
Riverdale’s GAW process ensures complete zinc coverage at every weld for maximum durability and service life. Long-lasting galvanized and PVC-coated systems require minimal maintenance while delivering structural performance and architectural appeal.
-
ASTM-Compliant and American Made
Made in Massachusetts and manufactured to ASTM A974 requirements, with applicable ASTM A641, ASTM A856/A856M, and ASTM A90 standards.
-
Versatile Infrastructure Solutions
Ideal for retaining walls, bridge scour protection, slope stabilization, erosion control, and shoreline protection applications.
