Double Twist VS Single Twist Mesh

• Unlike single twist (chain-link) style mesh, the

construction of double twist mesh inhibits the
propagation of tears in the mesh.

• Research shows that damage to a DT mesh remains

local and the mesh does not unravel/unzip, due to the
double twist ‘locked yet flexible’ connection between
adjacent wires

SYSTEM TERRAMESH

A modular system used for soil reinforcement

applications; the facing section of the unit is
formed by connecting the back panel and 2
diaphragms to the main unit, thus creating
rectangular shaped cells used for stone
confinement

II. DOUBLE-TWIST SOLUTIONS
GREEN TERRAMESH

A single length of double twist mesh forms the

base and upper reinforcing panels and the
facing unit; a biodegradable or synthetic blanket
is installed immediately behind the sloping
faces of the unit to control erosion and to
promote rapid vegetation establishment.

TERRAMESH – MAIN APPLICATION:

MECHANICALLY STABILIZED EARTH WALLS – Wall system which are constructed through series of
compacted backfills that are stabilized or reinforced with succession of tensile inclusions. These tensile
inclusions could be in form of Geogrids and Wire mesh (Gray & Sotir,1996).
