Wire Mesh for Slope Stabilization

Wire mesh is used when the slope is highly weathered and/or a new slope that will weather quickly, and small rock will continously unravel from the slope.

• The most effective technique for wire mesh is to drape the mesh on the slope and allow the material to make its way to the base of the slope.

• The wire mesh will control the material and not allow it to gain any destructive energy as it works it way down the slope.
