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.
