• Test Results: For detailed test results, please see the ASTM Quality Testimonies page

Installation Tips

• Cutting: Can be easily cut to size using wire cutters or power tools
• Mounting: Use appropriate hardware such as bolts, clamps, or brackets to secure the mesh in place
• Support: For larger spans or critical support areas, additional support structures such as rock bolts or anchors may be needed to prevent sagging or displacement

Compliance and Standards

• ASTM Standards: Manufactured according to relevant ASTM standards to ensure quality and consistency
• ISO Certification: Our production processes are ISO certified, guaranteeing the highest standards of manufacturing

Applications

• Mine Shaft Reinforcement: Provides essential support and stability to mine shafts, preventing collapses and ensuring worker safety
• Tunnel Support: Used in tunneling operations to reinforce tunnel walls and ceilings, offering enhanced structural integrity
• Roof and Wall Support: Offers critical support for roofs and walls in underground mining operations, minimizing the risk of rock falls and cave-ins
• Safety Barriers: Acts as a protective barrier in mining environments, helping to contain debris and protect workers from falling rocks
• Ventilation Control: Can be used to create partitions for ventilation systems, ensuring proper airflow and safety in underground mines
