Protection

Overview

TERRAM manufactures a range of products to protect buried underground services from excavation damage and rock backfilling. TERRAM Protection & Warning Mesh is designed to be impact resistant to help protect buried underground services from excavation damage, while TERRAM Protectamesh is used in major pipeline projects to prevent stone in the backfill from damaging the pipe’s coating.

Frequent Problems

  • Unprotected buried underground services are at risk of excavation damage in the future.
  • Stone from the backfill can easily abrade and puncture the pipe's coating, interrupting the cathodic protection system and resulting in the corrosion of the pipeline.
  • Traditional thick sand collars used to cushion steel pipe's coating aren't realiable as they are difficult to place consistently around the pipe.

Without TERRAM

  • Unprotected buried underground services are at risk of excavation damage in the future.
  • Stone from the backfill can easily abrade and puncture the pipe's coating, interrupting the cathodic protection system and resulting in the corrosion of the pipeline.
  • Traditional thick sand collars used to cushion steel pipe's coating aren't realiable as they are difficult to place consistently around the pipe.

Our Solutions

  • Underground services are protected from excavation damage with an impact resistance mesh laid in the trench between the pipe or cable and the surface of the backfill
  • Consistent, cost-effective pipeline protection from rock backfill operations and rock impacts from geological movements that could cause corrosion.
  • Factory assured properties ensure a consistent thickness and resistance

Product Solutions

Protectamesh™

TERRAM Protectamesh is a heavy duty diamond structured mesh that protects pipes and pipelines’ coatings from corrosion caused by rock impacts during backfill operations and geological movements.

Maxigrid™

TERRAM Maxigrid™ protection & warning mesh is an impact resistance, high visibility mesh placed in the trench between the cable or pipe and the surface of the backfill to protect those underground services from future rogue excavations.
