I don't see how any practices will eliminate expansion.

You eliminate Expansion Joints and the problems of Expansion Joints by making the piping more flexible. One of the best ways to do this is to install Expansion Loops in all long runs of "Hot" piping.

Depends. If you can really engineer & fabricate a horse-shoe loop and have space to support it overhead.

what are the causes to create galvanic actions at crevices in piping? Please detail what exactly you term as galvanic.

New flexible loops make it easy. See http://www.flexicraft.com/family.php?id=4&type=flexible.
