Steep and overhanging rock faces along I-87 through the Adirondack corridor, the Palisades Interstate Parkway, Route 97 along the Delaware River, and the Niagara Gorge release material that conventional containment cannot capture. Precambrian Adirondack anorthosite, Palisades diabase sill, and Devonian shale exposures 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 New York — 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.
Access Limited's Niagara Gorge and historic bridge projects demonstrate proven New York rockfall capability.
