Realisation
252 pieces of welded wire mesh with a mesh size of 2.5 x 15 cm and a thickness of 8 mm were initially manufactured from high-tensile structural steel wire. Afterwards, the meshes, with unit weights of 73 kg, were given their corrosion protection at the ZINQ location in Hagen. The corrosion protection experts in Hagen organised the direct dispatch of the thin-layer batch-galvanised components to the construction site, meaning work on the green bridge could then be completed on schedule.
„We have been working with ZINQ for several years now and were once again impressed by the advice, reliability and professionalism shown during the implementation. Up to now, clients have often requested a zinc finish followed by powder coating, particularly for specialised projects in the field of noise protection. For the project in Thyrow, the specification for the wire mesh to be installed as gabions was corrosion protection using 95 % zinc and 5 % aluminium. And here too, ZINQ was exactly the right choice – our contact, Horst Stoklas, recommended the microZINQ thin-film piece galvanising process.“
