Chain Link Mine Support Mesh
Product Description
Chain Link Mine Support Mesh is the original steel wire mesh solution for coal mine and tunneling operations. Engineered with high-tensile low-carbon or galvanized steel wire, this flexible mesh delivers superior rockfall containment, structural reinforcement, and long-term corrosion resistance in harsh underground environments. Its unique interlocking design absorbs impact, prevents loose rock detachment, and creates a critical safety barrier for personnel and equipment.
Technical Specifications
Material: Low Carbon Steel / Galvanized Steel Wire (Recommended)
Wire Diameter: 2.0mm – 4.0mm (Customizable)
Mesh Opening: 5cm×5cm | 6cm×6cm | 8cm×8cm
Roll Size: 1m×10m | 1.2m×10m (Custom Sizes Available)
Tensile Strength: ≥350 MPa
Edge Type: Reinforced Knuckled Edge
Certifications: Complies with global mine safety standards (ISO, MSHA)
Key Features
(1)Whole-Site Protection: Flexible structure conforms tightly to irregular surfaces (roofs, walls, roadways)
(2)Rockfall Containment: Prevents spalling rocks/minerals from falling (mesh size: 5x5cm to 8x8cm)
(3)High Energy Absorption: Deforms without breaking under impact (unlike rigid welded mesh)
(4)Fail-Safe Design: Single wire breakage ≠ system failure
Durability & Value
(1)Heavy-Duty Galvanization: Zinc coating resists rust, chemicals, and moisture for 3X longer service life
(2)Knuckled Edge Technology: Secures mesh integrity, prevents unravelling under stress
(3)Economical Solution: 30% lower cost vs. welded mesh with equal strength
(4) Low Maintenance: Withstands abrasion, reduces replacement costs
Applications
Roof & Wall Scaling Control in coal mines/tunnels
Rib Support for roadway sidewalls
Stope Backing to contain loose ore
Slope Stabilization in excavation sites
Mine Security Fencing (hazard zone isolation)
Industry-Proven Results
“Integrated into ground support systems, chain link mesh reduces rockfall incidents by 60% and extends tunnel lifespan by minimizing structural stress.” – Mining Operations Report
