Gabion wall are double twisted hexagonal woven 95% Zn and 5% Al coated steel wire mesh compartmentalized baskets with a rectangular box shape. The compartments or cells are of equal size and dimension and are formed by internal diaphragms being placed within the basket. The compartments or cells are filled with natural stone and the diaphragms minimize stone migration within the basket providing even distribution of the stone fill throughout the basket even after structural movement.
The galfan coating provides improved corrosion resistance in comparison to a conventional galvanized coating, combining, in effect, the passive corrosion inhibition of aluminum oxidation with the active and passive effects of zinc. Galfan (95% zinc, 5% aluminium) has proven to be 2 to 3 times more corrosive resistant than the same thickness of hot dipped galvanized. Depending on the environment, it may take 50 years to 150 years for 5% rust to show on the surface of galfan when above ground.
Gabion wall shall be manufactured with an 80 x 100,100×120 mesh type having a nominal mesh opening of 83 x 114 mm ,104×135 Tolerances on the mesh opening shall not exceed ± 10% on the nominal dimension D values.
