Traditionally, pipeline contractors had to haul in premium, sifted sand or select backfill dirt to surround the pipe before dumping the rough, native soil back into the trench. Using Rockshield Mesh completely eliminates the logistical nightmare, high cost, and environmental impact of transporting thousands of tons of sand to remote pipeline right-of-ways. Instead of paying for material transport and extra labor, workers can simply wrap the pipe in Rockshield Mesh and immediately use the dug-up native soil, rocks and all, to fill the trench. This drastically accelerates project timelines and slashes overall construction budgets.
Additionally, importing select backfill can sometimes introduce foreign minerals or alter the local drainage patterns around the pipeline trench, leading to soil erosion or instability. Rockshield Mesh maintains the natural soil consistency of the area while providing superior localized mechanical protection directly where it is needed most. Sifted sand can also wash away over time due to heavy groundwater movement, leaving the pipe vulnerable to shifting rocks later on, whereas a physically wrapped mesh stays securely in place for the entire life of the asset, offering permanent peace of mind.
