Protectamesh™ is a heavy-duty mesh for protecting pipeline coatings from rock backfills.

It acts as a rock guard padding around the pipes during and after backfill operation, and provides protection after installation by preventing damage by geologic movements.

Protective meshes are used to replace the sand collar that have traditionally been placed to cushion the protective coating around a steel pipe.

Features

  • Minimises pipeline coating damage which can cause corrosion

  • Cost-effective alternative to sand collar

  • Lightweight, flexible and easy to handle

  • Apertures allow water flow

  • Chemically inert
