Seismi-Shield™
Seismic-resistant mesh system
A twist-coupled wire mesh with integrated eyelets, engineered for high-stiffness, seismic-resistant ground support in mining and tunnelling.
Key Features
- Braided multi-wire structure with twist-coupled nodes and preformed kinks for superior interlocking strength
- Configurable cell geometry and wire spacing to tailor stiffness, energy absorption, and support behaviour
- Integrated eyelets that stabilise anchor zones, reduce mesh distortion, and protect wires during drilling
- Manufactured without welded nodes, ensuring consistent strength and eliminating common failure points
- Installation compatible with existing underground mining equipment.
- Available in customisable-sized sheets or rolls, reducing the number of overlapping edges.
FAQ
Underground mining environments demand ground support systems that can withstand extreme stress, seismic activity, and dynamic loading. Traditional mesh solutions often lack the flexibility, stiffness, and integration capabilities needed to maintain safety in these conditions.
How Seismi-Shield™ Solves Surface Support Failures in Seismic Mining
- When seismic events overload traditional mesh → Seismi-Shield™ absorbs and controls more energy
The braided multi-wire structure with twist-coupled nodes provides superior energy absorption and resists sudden deformation, outperforming welded mesh under dynamic loads. - When the ground moves unpredictably → Seismi-Shield™ maintains stiffness and structural integrity
Configurable cell geometry, pre-formed kinks, and tightly interlocked wires create a stiff, resilient mesh that strongly resists rock dilation and holds broken ground in place more effectively. - When welded mesh fails at the nodes → Seismi-Shield™ removes the weakest failure point
With no welded joints, Seismi-Shield™ eliminates the brittle, fracture-prone nodes of traditional mesh. Continuous wire construction provides consistent strength across the entire panel. - When anchor zones distort or tear → the integrated eyelets stabilise the system
Built-in eyelets protect wires during drilling, reduce localised distortion, and maintain correct tensioning – giving every anchor point a longer, safer service life. - When mesh must fit complex excavations → Seismi-Shield™ adapts to real ground conditions
Its flexible wire architecture handles uneven surfaces and squeezing ground far better than rigid weldmesh, reducing installation challenges and improving coverage. - When operators need lighter, safer materials → Seismi-Shield™ reduces handling effort
The multi-wire braided design delivers higher performance while being lighter and easier to handle underground, lowering fatigue and improving installation safety. - When machinery compatibility matters → Seismi-Shield™ works with existing systems
Designed to integrate with standard underground equipment, Seismi-Shield™ delivers superior performance without requiring new machinery or procedures.
