Manufactured in strict accordance to SANS 1024:1991 standards
Welded Mesh mats can be detailed as either flat or bent sheets, depending on the job requirements
Welded Mesh reinforcement mats are the most commonly used form of prefabricated reinforcement and is particularly suitable for flat slab construction. Other designed applications would be for pile caps, retaining walls, shear walls as well as beams and columns
Welded Mesh reinforcement reduces construction time considerably
SABS designated fabric mats are standard welded reinforcement mats and can be scheduled simply by reference to the fabric type, sheet dimensions and bending shape code. (The reference is the nominal mass of the fabric in Kg/m2 x 100)
The wire used in WM reinforcement fabric has a characteristic strength (0.2% proof stress) of 485 MPa compared to 450 MPa for high tensile rebar. Fabric may be used at higher stresses than high tensile rebar resulting in a material saving of approximately 8%.
