High-Resistance Netting is ideally suited for difficultsolutions to rock face problems, since the double-twist, hexagonal-woven meshdoes not unravel when wires abrade. Fractured stones are trapped and confinedagainst the slope should isolated wires fatigue from prolonged stress.Additionally, this double-twisted hexagonal type of netting has the highmechanical resistance required to prevent the danger of sudden rock shock loadsand dissipate rock fall energy created from loose fractured rock. In times past,the danger represented by falling rocks and by rocky debris from slopesoverhanging the road side was not given the requisite consideration. Land wasnot at the premium it is today since traffic volume and patterns have changeddrastically. In recent years, however, the widening of existing roads and theopening of new roads and highways must accommodate modern transportationdemands. For this reason we are faced with the problems of protecting the roadside from rock slides in a safe and efficient manner.
