Components of High Tensile Rockfall Wire Mesh System

The High Tensile Rockfall Wire Mesh System consists of four main components that are carefully coordinated with each other:

1). High Tensile Rockfall Wire Mesh
      High Tensile Rockfall Wire Mesh is made of high-tensile steel wire 2mm, 3mm or 4mm with an ultimate tensile strength of  1770 N/mm2.

2). High Tensile Rockfall Wire Mesh - Spike Plates
      Rigid spike plates that are reinforced with ribbing ensure optimal load transmission from soil or rock anchors to the High Tensile Rockfall Mesh.

      These spike plates are placed over the anchor heads and tightened to pre-tension the mesh onto the slope.The spike plates are galvanized and have dimensions of 13.0''*7.5"*0.4"(330mm*190mm*10mm/8mm).

3). High Tensile Rockfall Wire Mesh - Connection Clips
      The connection clips high tensile strength steel wire connection clips enable mesh sections to be joined without overlapping and still guarantee one hundred percent transfer of forces.These claw are hot dip galvanized and consist of

      0.25"(6mm) thick steel spiral.

4). Soil or Rock Nails
      Adapted to the local soil and rock static requirements, the HIGH TENSILE ROCKFALL MESH can be anchored in accordance with our dimensioning concept with commercial soil or rock nails.The main anchors of the system are installed

      in a grid typically from 6.6 to 16.4 ft (2.0 to 5.0m) horizontal and vertical spacing.Actual spacing depends upon the results of site analysis and modeling.Anchor consist of commercially available steel bars ranging from 1.0 to 1.25 ft (25 to

      32mm). Selfdrilling grout injection anchors are also permitted.Additional anchors may also be used to provide added support at boundaries and in low points and hollows.
