ROCK FALL PROTECTION

Stock Rolls; 3 - 6 - 12 ft long

DURA-FLEX Woven Wire Mesh

DURA-FLEX is a high resistance woven wire mesh ... ideally suited for preventing loose rocks from falling onto roads, railways and other structures.The double twist mesh design mesh can withstand huge forces and will not unravel even if a strand of wire is broken. DURA-FLEXTM high mechanical resistance reduces the danger of sudden rock shock loads and dissipates rock fall energy created from loose fractured rock.

DURA-FLEX is currently in use across the USA accommodating modern transportation demands by widening existing roads and opening new roads to increased traffic.

Benefits of Rockfall Mitigation Systems

Many hiking trails, pathways, service roads and travel lanes are in areas with rock slopes. Rocks can fall without warning, potentially causing injury and property damage. Our rockfall mitigation systems can handle a dynamic and steady load, lowering the risk of bodily harm and expensive liability penalties.

Wire Mesh Rock Fall Protection Systems

A wire mesh rockfall protection system is a mesh made from double-twisted wire and woven in a mesh fabric. It provides slope stabilization over the sloped area. The mesh is anchored at the topsoil and into the rocks. These systems are designed to corral any rocks that do fall and direct them into a safe settlement area, such as a ditch. The mesh delivers essential protection by controlling where the rocks fall.

Where Rockfall Protection Systems Are Used

Rockfall protection systems are used in places where falling rocks could cause injuries or damage to personal property or land. They may also be used in wildlife reservations or environmentally protected areas. They're commonly used on freight and travel roads, hiking trails and other places where people may walk or drive.

DURA-FLEX woven wire mesh features:

flexibility
non-raveling design
superior corrosion resistance
unique mechanical characteristics

In severely corrosive environments or in seaside locations, the use of heavily zinc-coated and PVC-coated wire mesh is recommended. The PVC coating, .0216 thick, is applied to the wire core by the extrusion method. This characteristic does not alter the remarkable flexibility of the product, which has been extensively time tested on gabions and Reno mattresses.
