Galfan Coated Welded Mesh Gabions - Corrosion Resistance For Soil Protection
Welded mesh gabions are primarily used for soil protection retaining walls or mass gravity retaining structures in landscape construction. These gabions are also widely employed as architectural retaining walls and cladding for buildings. Available in three coating types: Galvanized steel wire, PVC coated, or Galfan coated welded gabions.
The cages are filled with stone to form flat containers, then securely connected using high tensile lacing wire. Ideal for creating ancient-feeling wall cladding in castles or villas. Welded mesh gabions can be lined with geo-mat for bastion applications.

Key Advantages
- Flexibility: Tolerates differential settlement without failure, ideal for unstable soil conditions or areas prone to scour.
- Durability: Monolithic mass structure maintains integrity under structural movement.
- Strength: Withstands forces from water and earth masses, meeting ASTM A975-97 standards.
- Permeability: Naturally free-draining structure prevents hydrostatic pressure buildup.
- Ecology: Environmentally sensitive solution that promotes vegetation growth over time.
- Reliability: Proven performance with long successful history worldwide.
- Cost-Effective: Requires minimal equipment, unskilled labor, and low-cost local stone fill.
- Aesthetics: Creates visually pleasing structures that improve with age as vegetation grows.
