Wire Mesh for Road Embankment Protection

Which wire mesh is used for road embankment protection?

Short answer: Use stone-filled gabion boxes on steep slopes and where water flows, and flat double-twisted hexagonal mesh mattresses (60x80 mm, 2.7 mm wire) on gentler slopes.
Road embankment protection uses two products depending on the application. Gabion mesh boxes filled with stone are used for steep embankment slopes and areas with water flow. GI hexagonal mesh (double twist, 60x80mm aperture, 2.7mm wire) is used as a flat mattress over gentler slopes combined with vegetation for erosion control. For NHAI and state highway projects, the tender specification will specify the wire diameter, mesh size, and coating type - always request the tender specification document before ordering and we will match the exact required product. All material supplied for government road projects comes with test certificates.
