Specifications Of High Strength Steel Wire Rope Net Mesh Opening Size (300x300)
Garware High strength steel wire rope nets comprise galvanized steel wire ropes in both vertical and horizontal
directions. At the intersections vertical and horizontal chords have a tucked joint fixed with special clamps. The nets
comprise an upper hang portion with only vertical chords for anchorage and a lower net portion with both vertical
and horizontal chords so as to retain the boulders. The appropriate aperture size and the length of the hang and net
portions are selected to suit site requirements.
To make the infrastructure more secure, it becomes necessary to protect the road and the rails lines from rockfall.
Given the height of the cuttings and the small free space available, the best possible option is to drape the cutting
with these nets. These systems of rockfall protection are practical solutions and have been widely adopted across
the country as protection measures.
