Wire Mesh Equipment in the Construction Industry

Wall Reinforcement

In construction, the stability of walls is of utmost importance. Welded wire meshes produced by welded mesh machines play a crucial role in wall reinforcement. These meshes are formed by welding longitudinal and transverse steel bars together to create a regular grid structure. In brick – concrete structures or frame – infilled walls, laying welded wire meshes inside the walls can enhance the overall strength and crack – resistance of the walls. For example, in earthquake – prone areas, using welded wire meshes to reinforce walls can effectively improve the seismic performance of buildings and reduce the risk of wall cracking or even collapse during an earthquake. They can evenly distribute the stress borne by the walls, making the walls more stable when subjected to external forces.

Slope Protection

For slope protection in construction projects, chain – link wire meshes produced by chain – link mesh machines and woven wire meshes are widely used. Chain – link wire meshes have good flexibility and impact resistance, and they can adapt to slopes of different shapes and gradients. Laying chain – link wire meshes on the slope surface and fixing them with anchor rods can prevent soil and stones on the slope from sliding, thus stabilizing the slope. Woven wire meshes can achieve similar protective effects. Their woven structure can provide a certain buffering effect and absorb the energy of rainwater scouring and external impacts. In construction projects in mountainous areas, slope protection is vital for ensuring the safety of surrounding roads and buildings, and chain – link and woven wire meshes have become commonly used protective materials.

Fencing and Isolation

Around construction sites and in some areas that need isolation, products made by expanded metal mesh machines and barbed wire machines play the role of fencing and isolation. Expanded metal meshes have high strength and good protective performance, and they can be used as fences around construction sites to prevent unauthorized personnel from entering, ensuring construction safety and order. Barbed wire is usually used in areas with high security requirements, such as prisons and military facilities. In the construction industry, for areas where valuable building materials are stored or where there are special security requirements, barbed wire is also used for enhanced protection to act as a deterrent and barrier.

1. Welded Mesh Machines

They are mainly used for wall reinforcement within building structures. The welded wire meshes they produce are large in size and have regular grids, which can provide large – area and uniform support for walls. Since the diameter of the steel bars and the mesh spacing of welded wire meshes can be adjusted according to different architectural design requirements, they can perform well in different types of wall reinforcement. For example, in the wall construction of large commercial buildings and residential buildings, welded wire meshes produced by welded mesh machines are commonly used reinforcement materials. Their advantage lies in their ability to combine well with construction materials such as concrete and enhance the overall performance of the walls.

2. Chain – Link Mesh Machines and Woven Wire Mesh Equipment

They are mainly applied in slope protection and temporary fencing scenarios. The chain – link wire meshes produced by chain – link mesh machines are flexible and suitable for being laid on irregular slope surfaces. Their diamond – shaped mesh structures can effectively disperse external forces. Woven wire meshes are more commonly used in some temporary fencing scenarios where a certain degree of aesthetics is required, such as temporary isolation around landscape construction projects. Their characteristics include easy and quick installation, the ability to be cut and adjusted according to actual on – site conditions, and relatively low cost, making them suitable for large – scale slope protection projects and temporary isolation needs.

3. Expanded Metal Mesh Machines

They are mainly used for permanent fencing around construction sites and in areas that require high – strength protection. Expanded metal meshes are strong and stable and can withstand large external impacts. During the long – term use of construction projects, they can effectively protect the safety of construction sites and prevent theft and vandalism. For example, in some large industrial construction projects, expanded metal mesh fences can provide reliable protection for on – site equipment and materials.

4. Barbed Wire Machines

They are specifically used for isolating areas with extremely high security requirements. Barbed wire has a strong deterrent effect and can effectively prevent people from climbing over illegally. In the construction industry, although their application scenarios are relatively limited, in areas involving important facilities or the storage of high – value items, barbed wire is an indispensable security measure, providing additional security for construction projects.
