Maccaferri Terramesh
Maccaferri Terramesh
Terramesh System for Reinforced Soil Walls and Slopes
Maccaferri Terramesh combines reinforcement and facing for strong, durable structures.
Engineered for Endurance and Versatility
Every Terramesh unit is built for resilience, forming an integrated mesh-and-facing panel capable of withstanding high stress, aggressive environments, and demanding project conditions. Its polymer-protected wire mesh and modular design allow builders to take on extreme slopes, tight footprints, and infrastructure-critical applications with complete confidence. These combined capabilities give Terramesh a clear edge where strength, speed, and sustainability intersect.
- PoliMac coating delivers twelve times the abrasion resistance, twice the chemical protection, four times the cold-weather performance, and four times the UV resistance of traditional mesh systems.
- Modular double-twist wire mesh units arrive ready to stack and connect, minimizing on-site labor, reducing logistics, and preserving construction quality at every stage.
- Certified for use in embankments with slopes up to seventy degrees, enabling steep and space-restricted designs without compromising stability.
- GalMac galvanizing and polymer coating deliver long-term corrosion resistance in aggressive soils and hydraulic environments where standard protection fails.
Results That Matter
Where time, terrain, and durability converge, Terramesh delivers. Proven across transportation, industrial, and environmental projects, it performs in the most challenging conditions while maintaining structural integrity and visual appeal. Terramesh doesn't just meet specifications; it exceeds them, giving walls and slopes the strength and endurance to last for generations.
- Installed beside railways, highways, and bridge abutments where vibration, load, and precision demanded absolute reliability.
- Applied in steep slope and mining projects requiring rapid installation and heavy-duty service life.
- Maintained performance in environments exposed to moisture, freeze-thaw cycles, chemical runoff, and UV degradation.
Applications Across Terrain
Terramesh is engineered to meet the demands of modern infrastructure where performance, speed, and visual refinement must coexist. From massive retaining walls to elegant landscape features, it adapts to every terrain with structural confidence and design flexibility.
- Retaining walls and embankments supporting highways, rail lines, and transportation corridors where schedule and load are critical.
- Steep slope and embankment reinforcement in sites with limited space or variable soil conditions.
- Shoreline and riverbank protection that controls erosion and stabilizes hydraulic flow.
- Industrial containment walls and perimeter structures designed for high durability and minimal maintenance.
- Architectural and landscape applications enhanced with vegetation, stone facings, or custom textures for integrated visual appeal.
Upstream and Downstream Structural Harmony
Terramesh functions as a seamless system where soil, structure and flow align in engineered continuity. It starts downstream at the base where drainage and structural load converge and extends upstream to the crest where finish and design meet. In every layer the system balances erosion, load and alignment to deliver long-term stability and performance and bridges load, soil and water into a unified system that holds form, directs flow, and sustains durability from foundation to finish.
- Mechanically reinforced mesh spreads load across the reinforcement plane, controlling stress and reducing settlement risk.
- Embedded drainage cells and facing voids guide water movement behind the structure, preventing hydrostatic buildup and preserving geometry.
- Interconnected modules and factory-assembled panels lock alignment and structural integrity in place across changing conditions and dynamic loads.
- Vegetated or stone facings complete the build with filtration, aesthetic function and environmental integration.
