Durable, corrosion-resistant mesh that conforms to natural contours and provides reliable surface stabilization for fractured rock and soil.
GeoStabilization International (GSI) provides engineered pinned mesh systems that deliver reliable protection and long-term stability for slopes, embankments, and rock faces. Designed for complex terrain and harsh environmental conditions, these systems combine mesh reinforcement with deep-seated anchoring to prevent rockfall, erosion, and structural movement.
Across Canada, from British Columbia’s mountainous highways to Ontario’s urban retaining structures, GSI’s pinned mesh installations ensure the integrity and safety of critical infrastructure. Each solution is custom-engineered to match site-specific conditions, providing durable, low-maintenance protection that aligns with both safety and environmental goals.
Pinned mesh is a slope stabilization system that combines high-tensile wire mesh with steel anchors, bolts, or soil nails to secure surface materials and prevent slope failure. The mesh conforms closely to the rock or soil surface, while the anchors transfer loads into stable ground, forming an integrated structure that resists movement caused by weathering, vibration, or water infiltration.
This combination of surface containment and deep anchoring makes pinned mesh ideal for steep slopes, weathered rock faces, and locations where ground movement poses a risk to nearby infrastructure. GSI’s systems are engineered to meet the demands of Canada’s varied geological conditions, offering both flexibility and strength for long-term slope management.
There are several types of pinned mesh systems, each designed for specific applications and environmental conditions. Here are the common types:
Durable, corrosion-resistant mesh that conforms to natural contours and provides reliable surface stabilization for fractured rock and soil.
Pre-tensioned mesh panels anchored to the surface, used for rockfall protection, slope stabilization, and erosion mitigation.
Three-dimensional structures made from interlocking steel rings or cables that stabilize steep or irregular slopes.
Combine pinned mesh with soil nails, shotcrete, or anchors for enhanced reinforcement in high-risk zones.
There are several advantages of using pinned mesh solutions for geotechnical stability:
