Gabion Advice.

Information on gabion design, enviroments and corrosion protection.


Special Environments.

In Australia are areas where local conditions create an increased likelihood of corrosion.

Acidic Soils.

In strongly acidic soils the corrosive groundwater must be separated from the gabion structure.

Galvanisation.

Galvanising protects the gabion steel by forming a corrosion resistant coating.

Coastal Environment

Within 1000m of the coast, light salt deposits and a frequent smell of salt in the air.

AS /NZS 4534.

Zinc and zinc/aluminium – alloy coatings on steel wire Class W10 (heavy coating).
