Zn-5%Al alloy gabions


The steel wire used in the manufacture of the gabion is heavily zinc coated soft temper steel.
In order to increase the wire durability the steel wire used to manufacture the mattress is coated with Galfan, a Zn-5%Al-MM(mischmetal)alloy. A PVC coating is then applied to provide added protection for use in aggressive environments where soil or water are acidic: in salt or fresh water, or wherever the risk of corrosion is present.
The PVC coating has a nominal thickness of 0.50mm. In order to reinforce the structure, all mesh panel edges are selvedged with a wire having a greater diameter. Reno mattresses are divided into uniformly partitioned cells by internal diaphragms.
