Wire Material Requirements:
The pvc coating for Galfan Gabions can be checked below (take an example of the 80100mm galfan gabion), from the changes of the wire diameter before and after coating:
Knitted or woven wire: 3.7mm after PVC coating (2.7mm heavy Galfan before pvc coating)
Selvedge wire: 4.2mm after PVC coating (3.2mm heavy Galfan before pvc coating)
Lacing wire: 3.2mm after PVC coating (2.2mm heavy Galfan before pvc coating)
Zinc plating or galvanization required for the Galfan Gabions:
Galvanization on Kitted & Lacing wire: Heavy GALFAN (ZnAL) min 245gr/m2
Galvanization on Selvedge wire: Heavy GALFAN (ZnAL) min 255gr/m2
