Terramesh is a soil reinforcement system which consists of panels of double twist hexagonal woven heavy zinc and PVC coated wire mesh used for stabilizing steep slopes and vertical walls.
| A Terramesh unit comprises a continuous horizontal panel of mechanically woven steel wire mesh or Geogrid with an integral gabion fascia unit. The fascia unit is filled with hard durable rock-fill, identical to a gabion, and the wire mesh/ Geogrid tail is then sandwiched between layers of compacted granular backfill. Layers of Terramesh units are then constructed to form reinforced soil retaining structures of the required height. Terramesh has the aesthetics of a gabion structure, with the reassurance and robustness of soil reinforcement system. |

| The double twist wire mesh reinforcement/ Geogrid takes advantage of the friction acting along the surface of the wire/ Geogrid and, more importantly, the mechanical interlocking properties of the backfill. For durability, the zinc coated wire mesh is protected by a polymeric barrier made of PVC. Maccaferri Terramesh has been evaluated by HITEC (with the collaboration of AASHTO and FHWA |

| The main advantages of Terramesh are |
- Permeability of the front face, guaranteeing drainage of the backfill.
- Flexibility, enabling the structure to tolerate differential ground settlement without compromising structural integrity
- Ease of construction
- Significant soundproofing characteristics (18-28 decibel)
- The reduction of environmental impact through the use of vegetation incorporated into the front face of the structure
- The versatility of gabions, which allows the formation of a structure with vertical, battered or stepped front face as required and minimization of environmental impact.
