UniFence Launches New Production Line for Making Galvanized Steel Wire Mesh with Reinforcing Wires
In addition to standard gabion structures, the new line will be produce hexagonal mesh with reinforcing wires, which the outstanding technical solution called "Steel Protection" and designed by Unifence in 2024 to protect slopes against rockfalls is based on. The product is used in open-pit mines and along the roads in mountainous areas where the reinforcement of slopes is required for preventing landslides and rockfalls. It is also suitable for forming various types of protection in the fuel, energy and other industries. "The equipment allows wire ropes with a steel core to be woven into the mesh cloth, providing high tensile strength and maintaining structural flexibility. The use of steel wire with a special coating extends the mesh life," says Yuri Petrovich, Director of UniFence LLC. The new production line in Metal Mesh Workshop No.2 in Oryol is capable of producing reinforced mesh with a reinforcing wire pitch ranging from 0.3 m to 2 m, allowing UniFence to expand its presence in the market of safety engineering solutions for industrial and infrastructure facilities.
