Prometheus Construction has been installing rockfall net and mesh slope systems in the western United States and Hawaii for over 20 years. The most complete and safest rockfall mitigation application calls for galvanized rockfall mesh under a ring or cable net drapery installation. Prometheus’ professional high scalers secure the nets together for a close fit to the slope. The super-strong nets provide a heavy drapery, which, by its very weight, hinders and slows the fall of rocks and boulders. Rockfall wire mesh is a lighter, less costly application when less draped weight is needed to stabilize the slope. We often install the mesh and drapery systems using our 45 ton crane but for higher, less accessible slopes, Prometheus lifts the nets into position by means of a helicopter. For added slope stability sometimes these systems are securely anchored to the entire slope with a grid pattern of deep rock anchors.
