Geofabrics® Rockfall Mesh is a double twist steel wire mesh designed to secure unstable slopes and protect infrastructure against falling rocks and debris. Its flexible, high-strength structure allows the mesh to contain loose rock while adapting to uneven rock faces and steep terrain.
By containing loose rock and preventing detachment, Rockfall Mesh provides cost-effective and long-lasting protection for roadways, rail corridors, construction sites and mining operations. Its open design also allows for effective water drainage and supports natural vegetation growth, which improves both slope stability and environmental integration.
Rockfall Mesh is ideally suited for protecting transport infrastructure, mining operations, steep cuttings, quarries and other high-risk environments where rockfall hazards pose a significant safety and operational risk.

WHY CHOOSE ROCKFALL MESH?
- Double twist hexagonal wire mesh construction resists unravelling, even if wires are cut
- Provides reliable performance against rockfall loads and debris movement
- Flexible design adapts to irregular rock faces and steep slopes
- Suitable for drapery mesh systems
- Quick installation with easy edge connections using binding wire or metal rings
- Allows vegetation growth for long-term slope rehabilitation and reduced visual impact
- Reduces maintenance and repair costs compared to structural concrete or large-scale excavation solutions
Rockfall Mesh is supported by dedicated technical specialists at Geofabrics Australasia and advanced design tools to deliver safe, efficient and tailored rockfall protection solutions for every project.
Applications
OTHER APPLICATIONS
Road & Rail Protection
Rockfall mesh safeguard roads and railways by preventing landslides, falling rocks, and debris hazards, ensuring the safety of vehicles, passengers, and infrastructure.
Mining & Quarry Operations
In mining and quarry sites, rockfall mesh protects workers and equipment from loose rock hazards while maintaining operational safety.
Cuttings & Embankments
Rockfall mesh stabilise cuttings and embankments, reducing erosion and preventing rockfalls or landslides while protecting slopes, infrastructure, and surrounding areas.
Infrastructure & Utilities
Rockfall mesh protect critical infrastructure and utility corridors from falling rocks and debris, shielding against rockfall damage while ensuring operational safety, uninterrupted service, and overall site safety.

FUNCTION
Protection
Geosynthetics can prevent acute damage caused by adjacent materials. Often used together with a barrier to ensure that surrounding areas will not be contaminated. Widely used on landfills, tunnel construction and dams.
Stabilisation
Improvement of the mechanical behaviour of an unbound granular material by including one or more geosynthetic layers such that deformation under applied loads is reduced by minimising movement of the unbound granular material. Stabilisation geosynthetics are predominantly applicable to the improved performance of bases and subbases of trafficked areas such as roadways, railways, airfields, and working platforms.
