How to Choose the Right Galfan Gabion Mesh for Your Project

        In water conservancy, municipal, and transportation engineering, how to balance structural stability, durability and corrosion resistance, as well as ecological restoration, is a common challenge faced by both design and construction. Galfan gabion mesh,with its excellent corrosion resistance and flexibility due to the aluminum-zinc alloy coating, is gradually replacing traditional galvanized gabion mesh, becoming the preferred material for river management, slope reinforcement, and retaining wall projects.

        Ⅰ. Specifications: parameter configuration oriented by operating conditions

        To accommodate diverse scenarios, Galfan Gabion Mesh support customized combinations of mesh size, wire diameter, coating quality, and cage dimensions:

        1) Common mesh sizes: 60×80mm, 80×100mm, 100×120mm; aperture size can be adjusted according to design requirements.

        2) Wire diameter: approximately 2.0–4.0mm; the larger the wire diameter, the greater the load-bearing capacity, suitable for high flow velocity, deep water, and high stacking load scenarios.

        3) Coating quality: approximately 245–350 g/㎡, which can be selected based on corrosion levels and service life goals.

        4) Cage dimensions: standard specifications include 1×1×1m, 2×1×1m, 3×1×1m, etc., and can also be customized non-standard sizes according to channel width, slope ratio, and corner positions.

        Ⅱ.Recommendations for selecting Galfan Gabion Mesh

        1) Channel main channel/drainage: Prioritize medium aperture plus larger diameter, balancing permeability and anti-scouring;

        2) High fill retaining walls: Increase diameter and diaphragm density, enhancing overall shear resistance and anti-slide performance;

        3) Seawalls and tidal zones: Select higher coating quality and reinforce edge wires, improving anti-corrosion and anti-fatigue capabilities.

        Ⅲ. Operation and maintenance: low-frequency inspection, rapid repair

        1) Pay attention to connection points, corners, and areas most susceptible to erosion; promptly repair any loosened or damaged bindings.

        2) Clear floating debris and silt accumulated on the net surface to maintain water flow and structural appearance.

        3) For localized deformations caused by extreme floods or wave impacts, promptly add reinforcement or supplementary boxes.

        Ⅳ. Make the project more stable, durable, and aesthetically pleasing

        Galfan gabion mesh,with their strong corrosion resistance, excellent ductility, and good wear resistance, achieve a unified structure safety and ecological restoration in complex hydraulic and slope scenarios. Choosing Fande's integrated solutions and construction guidelines ensures quality while shortening project timelines and reducing the total lifecycle costs, thereby aiding the project's stable operation in harsh environments.
