  • Polymer mesh with reinforcing bands for skin control in hard rock mining
    Patent number: 11873717
    Abstract: A polymer mesh for skin control in hard rock mining conditions is provided. The polymer mesh is manufactured using a knitted or woven design that further includes one or more pairs of solid cut-resistant bands. The bands are positioned in pairs, each band in a pair having a width of at least about 2.5? and being generally parallel with the other band. The bands are spaced from one another at a distance of between about 1.5? and about 4? to create a reinforced aperture between the bands. One or more reinforcement bolts are installed within the aperture with the bands on opposing sides of each bolt buffering the edges of the steel plates associated with the bolts to prevent the plates from tearing the polymer mesh.
