Mesh & Barrier Systems
Mesh and barrier systems are essential components of rockfall mitigation and slope stabilization. We design and install systems that contain loose material, control rockfall trajectories, and intercept high-energy impacts across highways, rail lines, mining operations, and industrial facilities.
Complete Rockfall Protection Systems
Rockfall is unpredictable. Controlling it requires systems capable of handling variable block sizes and energies, withstanding weather, freeze-thaw cycles, and long-term corrosion, integrating with structural stabilization (bolts, dowels, anchors), and operating reliably in steep and remote terrain. Mesh stabilizes the slope surface; barriers protect what lies below. Combined, they create comprehensive rockfall defense.
Common applications include highway and railway protection, mine haul roads and pit walls, industrial facilities in mountainous regions, post-fire slopes exposed to rockfall or debris flow, urban development adjacent to unstable rock, and tunnel portals and cut slopes.
Choose Mesh & Barrier Systems when slopes exhibit loose or blocky rock, freeze-thaw cycling, repeated rockfall events, weathered or decomposed rock faces, steep slopes above roads, rails, or structures, or high-energy rockfall potential due to elevation or geometry.
Rock Supremacy delivers full-service installation for all protective systems: rope-access installation on vertical and overhanging slopes, helicopter-supported transport for remote sites, custom anchoring and drilling for difficult geology, energy-dissipation device installation on attenuators, fully engineered barrier foundations (micropiles, concrete pads, anchors), and integration with bolts, dowels, and shotcrete systems.

Tools & Technology
We deploy specialized equipment matched to project requirements and site conditions.
How We Do It
Proven methods and specialized techniques that deliver reliable, long-lasting results.
Draped Mesh Systems
Draped mesh hangs over a rock slope to guide detached rock toward a collection area at the bottom. It requires space for that collection area and access to remove accumulated material.
High-Energy Rockfall Barriers
High-energy rockfall barriers catch falling blocks using flexible nets, support cables, and components that absorb impact. The system must suit the expected rockfall and the space available behind the barrier.
Gabion Baskets
Gabion baskets are wire containers filled with rock. They can retain soil, protect streambanks, or support slopes while allowing water to pass through the rock fill.
Pinned Mesh Systems
Pinned mesh holds loose rock and soil against a slope using steel mesh secured with nails or bolts. It helps control material before it falls toward the area below.
TECCO Mesh System
TECCO is a steel mesh system made by Geobrugg for stabilizing rock and soil slopes. Plates and ground anchors secure the mesh against the face to help hold loose material in place.
Wire Rope Netting
Wire rope netting uses a network of steel cables to help contain loose rock. The net, anchors, and connections are selected for the rock size and forces expected at the site.

What Our Clients Say
We take pride in building lasting relationships with our clients through exceptional service and results.
"It amazes me how quick these guys adapt to challenging and seemingly overwhelming construction situations in the best, and most creative approach. Very smart, dedicated, hardworking group of brave workers in hazardous work sites. Not the type of work just anyone can do! Keep up the good work!"
"When it comes to heavy foundation anchoring and stabilization projects, these guys are superb. Although the majority of the company's jobs involve heavy civil work, my project required their skills and specialized equipment for a challenging residential cliffside application. After careful review and critique of our plans, as well as assuring that expectations were fully understood, the work began on time and was completed ahead of schedule with minimal trauma along the way. In all, the job required the installation of ten horizontal deep rock anchors, several vertical piles, and shotcrete encapsulation. I highly recommend Rock Supremacy's services and would definitely use them again."
"We engaged Rock Supremacy for a very challenging cliffside project that involved the stabilization and reinforcement of a retaining wall which ultimately required a total of ten drilled horizontal rock anchors, multiple vertical stabilization pilings and encapsulation with concrete structural reinforcement. Even though my residential project, as large as it was to me, was of a much smaller scale than the company often deals with, it approached the task with all of the consideration and professionalism I could hope for. Notably, they were not hesitant to take on a challenging terrain even with its limited access. From the outset, Corey Muir was very engaged in the project and with finding workable solutions. He was eager to explore alternative options for accomplishing the goals and worked diligently with my engineering consultants to tweak the design for a practical, affordable solution. Throughout the planning process, he maintained excellent communications with myself and our structural engineers. Corey was careful to make sure, prior to our final agreement, that all details were fully understood. The company began the project exactly when anticipated. The on-site crew, David, Nate and Jules proved to be the "A" team. They are very skilled and professional. I found them considerate, easy to interact with, and flexible with regard to change possibilities. The team showed careful concern for my property and all possible avoidance of collateral damage while completing a job that involved some very heavy equipment. When the concrete supplier was unduly delayed, they took it in stride and made the best of the situation. The job was actually finished a little ahead of schedule. Definitely a five star rating for this group, I would be happy to further discuss my experience with anyone contemplating the use of Rock Supremacy's services."
