3 Applications Of Welded Wire Mesh In Infrastructure
Wire mesh primarily has two varieties, woven wire mesh and welded wire mesh. While the former is used for myriad applications, the latter finds major use in infrastructure and creating strong, sturdy barriers. The applications in the infrastructure sector can be further divided broadly into 3 categories. These applications will be addressed in the blog below.
Infrastructural Uses Of Welded Wire Mesh
Concrete Reinforcement
Perhaps the most common application of welded wire mesh lies in concrete reinforcement. The strong structure of the wire mesh increases the strength of concrete, making it less susceptible to cracking and other structural damage over the years. Concrete reinforced in this manner is used in a plethora of construction applications such as slabs, walls, ceilings, columns, pipes, retaining walls (temporary walls used during construction), landfills and much more.
Urban Structures
When it comes to urban structures, a welded wire mesh can contribute in two ways. Primarily, it serves as a protective barrier or guard railing for parks, educational institutions, warehouses, sports arenas, stadiums and more. Apart from this, it is used in reinforced concrete as mentioned above, and this concrete is then used to construct roads, pavements, sidewalks, parking lots, sports tracks/courts and much more. Therefore, welded wire mesh is prevalent in almost all urban and suburban constructions.
Transportation Infrastructure
More specialized than other forms of infrastructure, welded wire mesh also finds uses in the transportation sector, primarily in the form of bridges- both vehicular and pedestrian, as well as landing strips for the aviation sector.
