Hexagonal gabion wire netting for rockfall protection / woven
gabion mesh
Product Description:
Rockfall Protection Netting is a steel woven hexagonal opening wire
mesh which is used to prevent rocks and debris from falling onto
roads, railways and other structures.
The mesh is made of heavily zinc coated, Galfan (ZincAl), Heavy
Zinc+PVC or Galfan+PVC coated double twisted steel woven wire. Due
to the characteristics of double twist, the steel wire netting can
withstand the force of falling rocks without unraveling in the
event of wire breakage.
Rockfall protection mesh feature:
Rockfall Protection Mesh is unrolled or draped over the slope and
secured with anchor bolts. In time, rocks and debris will fall to
the foot of the slope behind the steel mesh drapery. Rocks can then
be collected in a trench of suitable dimensions, at the foot of the
slope.
If desired, the mesh can be secured both at the top of the slope
and at the foot of the slope with high strength cables. In this
instance it is good practice to allow the lower cable to be
loosened, in order that the collected debris can be removed safely.
