Double Twist Mesh Rockfall netting is used for rockfall mitigation and is used as drapery system to prevent rocks and debris falling on to road, highways and railways. Due to non- raveling mesh made by twisting continuous pairs of wire through three one half turn (Generally refer as Double Twist) to form hexagonal shape openings, the steel wire mesh can withstand the punching force of the falling stone and without unravelling in the event of wire breakage, thus minimizing loss of property or life.

Rockfall Netting or drapery systems, made from double-twisted "DT" steel wire mesh, are designed to control rockfall movement by guiding falling debris to a collection point at the toe of the slope to protect structures from damage. Commonly used as 'drapery', DT mesh provides a protective curtain on the slope; any rocks and debris detaching from the slope are contained behind the mesh. The open wire mesh structure also allows the slope to return back to its natural state after repair by promoting the regeneration of vegetation
