ELECTROWELDED MESH
ELECTROWELDED MESH
Electrowelded mesh is a crucial safety material used in underground mining, designed to protect workers from potential rock falls or mineral fragments that may fall from the walls or ceilings of excavations. This type of mesh is made from high-strength steel wire, which gives it the ability to withstand heavy loads and resist the stresses generated in underground environments.
Installing electrowelded mesh in underground excavations provides an effective protective barrier that prevents rock and mineral fragments from falling and striking workers, which is essential for ensuring safety in mining operations. In addition to protecting workers, this mesh also plays a key role in stabilizing the excavation area. It helps distribute the pressure from the rock and reduces the risk of ground failure or collapse.
Electrowelded mesh is installed in sections, covering large areas of the walls and ceilings of underground excavations. To secure it, steel staples or nails are used, allowing the mesh to be firmly attached to the excavation structure. Depending on the ground conditions and project requirements, the mesh can be placed in different layers, providing additional protection in more vulnerable areas.
