RockGuard® is a three dimensional bi-planar extruded Diamond Structured Mesh. It offers a consistent thickness throughout the width of each roll or pad to provide full width protection to your pipeline during backfill operations. RockGuard® also offers protection from abrasive objects after installation, restricting geologic movements from damaging your pipeline.

RockGuard® may be installed in pad or roll form, depending on pipe diameter. Pads are to be wrapped around the pipe in a latitudinal fashion (Please see Installation Diagram page 10). All end to end overlaps shall be placed with an overlap of 2", and all pad overlaps shall be placed on the bottom side of the pipe with a 6" overlap.

Rolls can be applied longitudinally wrapped on all pipe 20" or less in diameter. (See how to install RockGuard®). Simply place the roll on top of the pipe and unroll the product parallel to the pipe. Wrap the edges around the pipe with a 6" overlap. All RockGuard® must be strapped to the pipe with a suitable polypropylene banding.

For smaller diameter pipe the "latitudinal wrap" method may be used. This method requires minimal overlap, and must be strapped to the pipe with a suitable polypropylene banding.
