Boddingtons is the supplier of leading brands like WAVELAY® detectable underground warning tape, DETECTAMESH® detectable underground warning mesh, PROTECTAMESH® pipe protection mesh and ROCKSHIELD® pipe wrap mesh.

This year Boddingtons released two new pipe protection products in the European and Australian markets.

Protectamesh™ MaxiGrid

Protectamesh MaxiGrid is a premium quality, high strength, thick extruded plastic mesh to protect underground cables and pipes from damage from unauthorised and unplanned excavations.

The heavy duty mesh is installed in the trench halfway between the pipe or cable and the surface to provide a high impact resistance barrier against future excavations (mechanical or hand). Manufactured from high density polyethylene plastic, the mesh is extremely durable and is supplied in roll form.

The mesh is bright yellow which ensures it is clearly visible. With its high impact resistance properties asset owners can be ensured the cable or pipe can remain unharmed by rogue excavators.

Protectamesh™ HD

Protectamesh HD is a heavy duty flexible three dimensional bi-planar extruded diamond structured plastic mesh. It offers a consistent thickness throughout the width of each roll or pad to provide full width protection to pipelines during backfill operations. Protectamesh HD also offers protection from abrasive objects after installation, prohibiting geologic movements from damaging a pipeline. Protectamesh HD may be installed in pad or roll form, depending on pipe diameter.
