How do installation teams properly secure Rockshield Mesh on pipes?
Installing Rockshield Mesh is a straightforward process that does not require heavy specialized machinery or highly technical training for the field crew. The mesh is typically supplied in rolls or pre-cut pads tailored to the specific outer diameter of the pipeline being protected. Workers wrap the mesh longitudinally or spirally around the pipe, ensuring a sufficient overlap at the seams to prevent any gaps through which rocks could slip. This quick manual application keeps pace with fast-moving pipeline laying crews, avoiding any costly bottlenecks during the construction process.
To hold the Rockshield Mesh firmly in place until the backfilling is complete, installation teams use heavy-duty plastic strapping, glass-fiber reinforced adhesive tape, or thermal welding techniques. The strapping or tape is applied at regular intervals along the length of the pipe to keep the wrap tight and secure against the coating. Once the native rocky soil is poured into the trench, the weight of the earth locks the mesh into position permanently. This reliable and efficient installation method minimizes labor hours while guaranteeing uniform, full-coverage mechanical protection across the entire vulnerable surface area of the line.
