The river channel gabion can also be used to guide river water. The river generally flows along the existing riverbed. The river channel may have a naturally formed tortuous river channel. If a flood occurs, the water volume is unlimited and the water flow is turbulent. The water flow will tend to flow straight under inertia, which will violently impact the original riverbed and dyke, and may cause the river to change course, which will cause infinite disasters.
In order to reduce the erosion of the river embankment by the turbulent water flow, a cage stone mesh box or a cage stone mesh pad is laid on the inner side of the river embankment or the edge of the riverbed. The turbulent river water directly impacts the cage stone mesh box or the cage stone mesh pad, thus protecting the river embankment or the riverbed. In the tortuous river channel, the river water will turn because it encounters the gabion mesh box or the gabion mesh pad. The river water can be safely guided by flowing along the existing river channel. The cage stone mesh is also used in flood spillway and diversion dam to guide or restrict floods. Galvanized gabion mesh, also known as Galvanized gabion mesh. The meaning of Galfan is GALvanization FANtastique - "an extraordinary galvanizing".
Galfan is a eutectic crystal composed of 95% zinc-5% aluminum-trace mixed rare earth elements. Galfan coating has high corrosion resistance, and its product corrosion resistance is about 2-3 times that of ordinary galvanized wire. In addition, the ductility and deformability of Galfan coating are extremely strong, even exceeding the internal iron wire, so there is no need to worry about cracking and falling off of the coating in any circumferential bending test under strong deformation. In addition, Galfan coating also provides an excellent uniform phase surface, which is more conducive to other coating treatments on the surface of the gabion mesh.
