How To Install A Slope Protection Netting?

  Slopes and hills are structures that often cause stability problems such as erosion, landslides, and rockfalls, and, in the worst-case scenario, they can collapse. For these purposes, we can classify them as natural slopes and engineered slopes. 


In the first case, these structures usually cause problems caused by ground damage, natural slope, soil type, diving areas, and local weather conditions. With man-made slopes, these do not usually cause any sliding problems, either in terms of design or in terms of the materials involved. This article discusses the use of a side slope protection net in the prevention of slope erosion. One of the most common problems is caused by erosion, which can be due to several different reasons.


High Tensile Rockfall Mesh

High Tensile Rockfall Mesh 


As a result of water, whether it is precipitation or groundwater. It is vital to always consider water as one of the main elements that can lead to erosion.


Depending on the slope, a slope may be more or less susceptible to erosion.

The soil has a lower absorption capacity than the amount of precipitation it can withstand.

Rutting and stream formation

Soil infiltration rate and porosity

Runoff curves


Seasonal fluctuations. Areas with large variations between dry and wet seasons are more affected by erosion.

Solar radiation intensity. High solar radiation can lead to further erosion.

Wind speed. Higher wind speeds will lead to further slope erosion.

Temperature variation. As described above. As temperature changes expand, we see stronger erosion effects.

 

With this in mind, a comprehensive analysis of geological, geotechnical, environmental, and hydrological conditions needs to be carried out before any construction work is carried out to predict the condition of the slope once built. For this reason, there are product fabrics such as reinforcement mesh that can ensure slope stability.

 

How To Install A Slope Protection Netting? 


The following are the steps required to install the slope protection netting.

 

  • Preparation. Before installing the hillside and slope protection netting, make sure that any existing slopes and gullies are removed and the soil is prepared.

  • How to install. When installing slope protection netting you must start at the highest point of the slope and work your way down to the bottom.


In order to attach the mesh, a 20cm wide and 20cm deep trench must be dug at least 1m from the edge of the slope. Use ground spikes to insert the reinforcement mesh into the trench. Next, you must refill the trench while compacting it to increase its resistance.


When connecting the slope protection netting, make sure that the distance between each ground spike is no more than 1 meter on either side. Once the reinforcement mesh has been installed and fixed to the trench, it can be unfolded at the top of the slope in its downward direction.


  • Material overlap. Make sure you leave an overlap of 10 to 20 cm between the rolls. Similarly, you must also place ground spikes along the joints, no more than 1 m apart on either side. when joining the ends of two separate rolls, make sure you leave an overlap of at least 100 cm and provide further reinforcement by installing additional ground spikes on either side, no more than 50 cm apart.

  • Check. After installing the reinforcing mesh, you must assess the ground spikes installed between the ends of the two separate reels.

  • Vegetation cover. After checking that the spikes are correctly attached, you can continue to cover the slope or hill with substrate or hydroseeding to ensure its complete regeneration

Fire Safety Considerations with Flexible Metal Conduit: Safeguarding Your Property

图片
  Fire safety is paramount in any building, and the choice of materials for electrical installations plays a crucial role in preventing and mitigating fire risks.  Flexible metal conduit  is a popular choice due to its versatility and durability, but understanding the fire safety considerations associated with its use is essential for ensuring maximum safety. This article delves into the key factors to consider when using flexible metal conduit in your electrical installations. Flexible metal conduit, often referred to as FMC or  flex conduit , is a flexible metallic wiring solution used in electrical installations. It consists of a helically wound metal strip with interlocking construction, providing flexibility while offering protection to electrical wires. FMC is commonly used in areas where traditional rigid conduit is impractical or too costly, such as in tight spaces or where vibration resistance is needed. Fire Resistance Ratings of Flexible Metal Conduit One crucial considerati

What is a corded power tool?

图片
 A  corded power tool  is a type of electrical tool that operates by connecting to a power source through a cord. Unlike cordless power tools that rely on rechargeable batteries, corded tools remain plugged into an electrical outlet during use. This design ensures a continuous and reliable power supply, making them a popular choice for tasks requiring sustained and consistent power. Corded power tools have a rich history dating back to the early days of electrically powered machinery. The development of these tools can be traced to the industrial revolution, where innovations in electrical engineering paved the way for various applications. The corded power tool concept emerged as a solution to provide a direct and stable power connection for tools, eliminating the need for frequent battery changes or recharges. The evolution of corded power tools has been marked by advancements in motor technology, safety features, and ergonomic designs. Modern corded tools boast high-performance moto

Is Sublimation Paper the Same as Heat Transfer Paper?

图片
  In the realm of garment printing and crafting, confusion often arises between sublimation paper and   heat transfer paper . While both are vital tools in the process of transferring designs onto various surfaces, they serve distinct purposes and possess unique characteristics. Understanding the disparities between these two types of paper is crucial for achieving optimal results in your printing endeavors. Sublimation Paper: Unveiling its Essence Sublimation paper  is a specialized medium used primarily in sublimation printing—a technique that involves transferring dye onto materials such as fabrics, ceramics, and metals through a process of sublimation. Sublimation occurs when a solid substance transitions directly into a gas without passing through the liquid phase. In sublimation printing, heat and pressure are applied to sublimation paper, causing the solid dye particles to sublimate and bond with the surface of the substrate. The key characteristic of sublimation paper is its un
