Green Terramesh® units consist of panels of double-twist,
hexagonal mesh of soft annealed, heavily zinc coated wire. In order to guarantee the
design life required for these applications, the wire is additionally coated with a
continuous PVC (polyvinyl chloride) sleeve.
Green Terramesh® is a soil reinforcement system used to stabilize soil
embankments, slopes and walls. Green Terramesh® units are provided with an erosion control
mat behind the mesh on the exposed face to retain the soil fines. An additional wire mesh
panel and two triangular steel brackets assembled during manufacturing increase the strength
and enable easier installation.
A complete "greening" of the external face can be achieved by using a 1 to 2 ft.
thick layer of top soil behind the facing combined with hydroseeding the structure according to
local environmental requirements.
