  Rock Mesh B900  
 
 

Used as a drapery system, Rock Mesh B900 is designed to prevent rockfall and debris from falling onto roads, railways or where there is a possibility of loss of property or life.

Rock Mesh B900 is a woven composite product made of steel wire and metallic ropes woven together during the production of the double twisted wire mesh. It is used as a passive drapery system that guides the fall of the rock to a trench. It is particularly suitable for rockfall protection as a surface or soil veneer slope stabilizer.

Rock Mesh B900 is generally used for larger rocks than the simple drapery using steel wire mesh. The double twist wire provides a high resistance to the thrust and impact of rocks avoiding the propagation of wire ruptures. The wire mesh has two functions: protecting the area from smaller rock and a connecting device for the rope panel.

The weaving of the ropes inside the steel mesh creates a cable panel of 2 ft (0.61 m) by 3 ft (0.91 m). The steel cable is secured using the wire mesh connection strength. By using the flexibility of the mesh and the cable, the installation of this system is very fast and easy than other products on the market.

Maccaferri Rock Mesh B900 advantages:

  • Very fast installation compare to similar product
  • No overlap between the panels
  • Superior durability with PVC coated steel wire
  • Four colors available (Black, Brown, Tan and Gray)
  • High connection strength between wire mesh and steel rope
