How does Rockshield Mesh compare to traditional sand padding methods?

In many construction scenarios, contractors use imported sand to create a protective barrier around a pipe, but Rockshield Mesh offers a more efficient and cost-effective alternative. While sand requires extensive logistics, including hauling and precise placement, Rockshield Mesh is lightweight and can be wrapped directly around the pipe on-site. This significantly reduces the environmental footprint of the project by minimizing the need for heavy machinery and external material transport. Additionally, the porous nature of the mesh allows for natural water flow and cathodic protection currents to reach the pipe surface effectively.
