Steep and overhanging rock faces along Highway 1 along Big Sur, PCH through Malibu, I-5 through the Grapevine, and SR-1 near Laguna Beach release material that conventional containment cannot capture. Coastal metamorphic rock, Franciscan Complex mélange, and fire-weakened hillsides produce rockfall trajectories that bypass ditches and berms — demanding a system that controls the fall path from the source to a managed collection point.
Access Limited designs and installs draped mesh systems across California — each engineered for the slope height, face geometry, and rockfall volume specific to the installation site.
Standard draped mesh is anchored along the slope crest with a horizontal cable and allowed to hang freely over the rock face. Falling material is captured between the mesh and the slope surface and guided by gravity to a collection zone at the toe.
Anchored draped mesh combines the drape concept with intermediate face anchors — reducing mesh billowing on tall slopes and limiting the distance individual blocks can travel before being arrested.
High-tensile draped mesh uses steel wire with higher break loads than standard galvanized mesh — enabling the system to handle larger blocks and higher rockfall energy without mesh failure.
With an office in Oceano, Access Limited maintains permanent California-based crews ready for rapid deployment.
