Gabions, Hot-dipped galvanized, Galfan or PVC coated Finish

Collapsible gabions can be fabricated from woven wire mesh hexagonal netting or HDG welded mesh sheets. Wire mesh gabions finishes can be hot-dipped galvanized, galvanized aluminum alloy Galfan or PVC coated coating. This metal mesh containers are supplied in a range of wire and mesh sizes, uniformly partitioned into internal cells, filled with stone at the project to form flexible, permeable, monolithic structures. Gabions or stone containers are widely used as retaining walls, sea wall, channel linings, revetments, and weirs for river bank protection erosion control projects.

Welded Mesh Gabions

Gabions made of welded wire fabrics offer much strength compared with woven mesh gabions.
Materials: Galvanized steel with zinc coating (cold drawn high tensile steel zinc coated);
Plastic coated steel;
Galfan of zinc aluminum alloy.

Popular Material Type: Galfan Gabbions.
Galfan gabion gets its name from its wire material: a kind of heavy Galfan (zinc-5% aluminum alloy) soft tempered steel . Compared with traditional galvanized steel gabions with pure zinc coating, Galfan gabion features a heavy zinc – aluminum coating layer which enables an excellent corrosion resistance. The corrosion resistance of Galfan gabion doubles that of traditional pure zinc plating.

The steel wire used in the manufacturing of the gabion is heavily galfan( [Zn-5 Al-MM] alloy) coated soft temper steel. A PVC coating is then applied to provide additional protection for use in polluted, contaminated or aggressive environments: in salt, fresh water, acid soil or wherever the risk of corrosion is present. The PVC coating has a nominal thickness of 0.50 mm to 1.00mm. Galfan plus PVC coating gabions, simplified as Galfan gabions, are strong and durable for long term uses.
