About
Definition
Mesh and cable nets are used to control rockfall in two ways: They either hold the rocks behind the mesh/net or direct them to a catchment area at the bottom of the slope. They also work to control erosion. Mesh and nets can be both unsecured (attached to anchors at the top of the mesh or net only) or secured at both top and bottom. The most common configurations are draped mesh/nets (also known as drapery systems) and anchored mesh/nets.
Types
- Anchored Mesh/ Nets
- Draped Mesh/ Nets ( Drapery System)
- Erosion Control Mesh / Blankets
Benefits
Rock Fall Barriers for Remote Locations and Erosion Control
Rock fall barriers can be installed in remote locations, effectively restricting rock falls and trapping fallen rocks. The erosion control mesh helps retain topsoil while guiding falling rocks to a designated catchment area for added safety.
- Can be installed at Remote locations
- Restricts rock fall and traps fallen rocks
- Can Guide Falling rocks to a catchment area
- Erosion control mesh proves beneficial in retain topsoil as well trapping falling rocks.
Application
Mesh and Cable Net Rockfall Protection
Mesh and Cable nets are applied along with anchors drilled inside the ground to retain rock from falling and protect topsoil.
Mesh / cable nets are used for
Tunnel portals are the entry and exit points of a tunnel, designed to provide structural stability and safe access.
protecting Tunnel Portals
Hill slopes are inclined landforms that can be prone to erosion and require proper stabilization for safety and sustainability.
