The distinct diamond-shaped grid pattern of Rockshield Mesh serves a crucial dual function that goes far beyond simple physical impact absorption. Firstly, the open apertures of the network allow for the completely free and unimpeded movement of water through the mesh structure, preventing hydrostatic pressure buildup around the buried asset. Secondly, and most importantly, this open-mesh configuration ensures that the pipeline remains fully compatible with cathodic protection systems, which are electrical currents used by engineers to prevent rust and corrosion on buried metal. If the protective barrier were a solid plastic sheet, it would shield the pipe from these vital anti-corrosion electrical currents, creating a massive safety hazard; the diamond architecture completely resolves this issue by letting the current flow freely while still deflecting physical rock damage.
