Hexagonal Road Mesh Increased Loading Capacity for Highway and City Road

Hexagonal road mesh is also called reinforcement road mesh, is a type of heavy duty hexagonal wire mesh, which is manufactured from steel wires. The steel wires are double twisted woven into wire mesh with a series of hexagonal meshes. Then the transverse rod is woven into every other meshes.

Road mesh is a three dimensional structure, which can supply the high loading capacity evenly. Besides, this structure allow the filling material to envelope each continuous wire strand and form interlocking.

Road mesh is widely used in the bound layers of new or rehabilitated pavements in civil constructions. It can supply solutions to cracking, asphalt fatigue and surface rutting. The road mesh is recommended being lay between asphalt and bituminous layers. Depth of the road mesh is vary depending on the requirements for the quality of road surface and road geometric characteristics of the layers.

Feature

Hexagonal road mesh has strong resistance ability to natural destruction and bad weather like heavily rainfall.
It can absorb the tensile stresses beneath the asphalt layer.
It helps to lock the asphalt aggregates to increase the structure stability.
It provides extra toughness to the overall road structure.
It helps to share the load from asphalt road and therefore minimize the structure deformation at maximum.
It helps to reduce the construction time and thickness of asphalt layer for its perfect cooperation with asphalt and concrete.
It helps to reduce crack reflection, asphalt fatigue and surface rutting and therefore keeps road in a optimum condition over a minimum of 10 years.
It ensures a high-traction and mud-free surface all year round.
It suits for projects that on a limit budget condition.
Installation: Hexagonal wire mesh should be unrolled onto the surface and flattened to it by a roller. Then it should be fixed using nails before aggregate and asphalt applying. To increase the deformation resistance ability, two layer of mesh could be overlapped.

Application

Road mesh is mainly used in the repair or reconstruction of highway and city road, especially for the soft ground to increase the bearing capacity of pavement and prevents rutting and cracking.

The road mesh can also be used for repairing the upper layers of existing road to increase the road performance and reduce pavement deformation. It can also extend the service life of the pavement.
