DYWIDAG Close-Knit Mesh System
Additional slope face support for finer materials
- Slope Stabilisation
- Face Stabilisation
- Excavation Support
The DYWIDAG Close-Knit System is a flexible slope protection mesh which features smaller apertures within the mesh configuration, enabling increased density of coverage across the face. This is a passive mesh system used with DYWIDAG soil nails or DYWIDAG rock bolts.
The mesh offers a high level of corrosion resistance using Zn-Al with additional corrosion inhibitor for long-term durability in a range of different environments. Other options include stainless steel options for aggressive environments and an integrated erosion mat comprising non-woven monofilament fibres.
The chain-link configuration of the mesh enables fast installation and ensures the mesh follows the contour of the slope. The large roll width of 3.9 meters ensures large coverage per roll and less seams between each mesh panel.
45mm aperture ensures smaller materials, such as stones, are better contained
High tensile strength of 1770N/mm² to reduce deformation and provide reliable performance
Knotted ends at vertical edges ensures full strength of the mesh is achieved across the full width of each panel
Excellent durability and corrosion resistance in a range of different environments
Large coverage based on standard roll sizes of 3,9 x 30 meters
Low visual impact (based on 2mm wire)
Lightweight system that is easy to handle in challenging conditions
•Available as open mesh or with integrated erosion mats
Accessories
