Galfan gabion – double resistance to corrosion and rust<\/span><\/h2>\n

Galfan gabions<\/b>, coated with an alloy of 5 percent <\/span>zinc<\/b> and <\/span>aluminum<\/b>, are among the highest quality <\/span>corrosion-resistant gabions<\/b>. They are widely used for lining <\/span>canals<\/b>, <\/span>shore fortifications<\/b>, <\/span>retaining walls<\/b> and other protective equipment. <\/span>The galfan<\/b> layer is applied in a two-stage coating technology. The first step is the coating <\/span>zinc<\/b>, which can be done in two ways –<\/span> hot dip<\/b> or <\/span>galvanizing electric galvanizing<\/b>. The next, final step is immersion in a bath with a minimum content of <\/span>aluminum<\/b> 7.2% to prevent quality disturbance during processing. In this way a double protective coating is formed, which is able to resist the corrosive action of both fresh and salt and groundwater.<\/span><\/p>\n

Advantages of Galfan gabions<\/span><\/h2>\n

Smooth surface<\/b> – the coating is continuous, <\/span>even<\/b> and <\/span>smooth<\/b>, without sticky particles and pieces of material. Their use is completely safe and <\/span>galfan gabions<\/b> do not cause injury to workers handling them. The surface does not cause irritation and wounds when working with them, but still <\/span>Smart Metal Group<\/b> recommends the strict use of personal protective equipment when working in <\/span>galfan gabions<\/b>. In addition, the smooth surface makes the <\/span>gabions<\/b> aesthetic and bright in color – perfect for <\/span>decorative equipment<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Better <\/span>corrosion resistance<\/b> – when <\/span>galfan gabions<\/b> are placed in a corrosive environment, the <\/span>aluminum coating<\/b> forms an oxidized layer that resists the <\/span>corrosive action<\/b> of water. When the oxidized layer breaks down, it is the turn of the <\/span>zinc layer<\/b> to prevent corrosion. This makes <\/span>galfan gabions<\/b> more resistant to corrosion than <\/span>galvanized gabions<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

High <\/span>tensile strength<\/b> – made of wires with <\/span>high tensile strength<\/b>, <\/span>galfan gabions<\/b> provide stability and strength even in harsh conditions and areas with a high degree of impact of various nature – mechanical loads, weathering, chemical effects and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

Environmental<\/b> – <\/span>friendliness galfan gabions<\/b> are non-toxic and do not cause harmful effects on soil, water and the environment. In addition, <\/span>galfan gabions<\/b> provide good <\/span>circulation<\/b> of air, water and sunlight to ensure healthy growth <\/span>plant<\/b>. They are durable and do not require additional processing and maintenance with various chemical additives.<\/span><\/p>\n

High benefits and value – the <\/span>price<\/b> of <\/span>galfan gabions<\/b> is slightly higher than that of <\/span>galvanized gabions<\/b>, but better <\/span>corrosion protection<\/b> and longer <\/span>service life<\/b> justify this value. <\/span>Galfan gabions<\/b> do not require constant maintenance, which reduces operating <\/span>costs<\/b>. Their long life makes them much <\/span>cheaper<\/b> over time because they require less resources to maintain.<\/span><\/p>\n

Types of Galfan Gabions<\/span><\/h3>\n

Galfan gabions<\/b> can be made in different configurations and <\/span>geometries to<\/b> fit into different situations. They differ in production technology, network structure, height of <\/span>gabions<\/b> , etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

Electro Welded galfan gabion<\/b> – for <\/span>electro welded galfan gabions<\/b> ,are used <\/span>wires coated<\/b> with <\/span>galfan<\/b>, which are then welded to rigid and <\/span>solid frames<\/b> with square nets. These frames are then connected to C-clamps, U-clamps, <\/span>helical wires<\/b> or elastic <\/span>wires<\/b>. The welded type of <\/span>galfan gabions<\/b> is used mainly for decorative purposes:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • hearths of galfan gabions;<\/span><\/li>\n
  • retaining walls of galfan gabions;<\/span><\/li>\n
  • landscaping with galfan gabions;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Wicker Galfan Gabion<\/b> – <\/span>Wicker galfan gabions<\/b> are the most common type of <\/span>gabion<\/b>. <\/span>Wires Coated<\/b> with <\/span>Galfan,<\/b>are entwined with each other to form a hexagonal knitted <\/span>panels.<\/b>Panels of different sizes are combined into <\/span>cells<\/b>, which are then filled with stones or soil. <\/span>Knitted galfan gabions<\/b> are commonly used for:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • retaining walls;<\/span><\/li>\n
    • lining of channels;<\/span><\/li>\n
    • coastal fortification;<\/span><\/li>\n
    • flood control;<\/span><\/li>\n
    • coastal control;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Box<\/b> type- usually the height of this type of <\/span>gabions <\/b>\u00a0is 1 m, with a maximum of 1.5 m. If you need higher <\/span>gabions,stack<\/b> you canthem on top of each other until you reach the desired height. <\/span>Box-gabions<\/b> types are used for lining <\/span>channels<\/b> and performing <\/span>retaining walls<\/b>. They have <\/span>high strength<\/b> and are strong enough to withstand external loads.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Mattress type<\/b> – usually the height of the <\/span>gabions mattress type gabions<\/b> does not exceed 1 m, as their height usually varies from 17 to 50 cm, but can also be made <\/span>mattress gabions<\/b> to order. Compared with <\/span>gabions type box<\/b> gabions, mattresses<\/b> are more flexible and are preferred in <\/span>strengthening watercourses<\/b>, <\/span>strengthening embankments<\/b> and slopes and other coating applications.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Double-twisted type of galfan gabions<\/b> – <\/span>double-twisted<\/b> is the most common and often used type of <\/span>gabion structure<\/b>. They are solid enough and can be applied to almost all sites. They are more economical than <\/span>triple-twisted ones<\/b>, as the production technology requires less mechanization.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Triple-twisted galfan gabion<\/b> – <\/span>Triple-twisted galfan gabions <\/b>\u00a0have higher <\/span>tensile strength<\/b> than <\/span>double-twisted<\/b>. They are suitable for more responsible facilities where construction output is expected to be heavier. They are applied in case of increased interaction with external forces such as <\/span>floods<\/b>, <\/span>tides<\/b>, <\/span>landslide pressure<\/b> , etc.<\/span><\/p>\n
