dimension to protect the entire pipe.
All pad overlaps shall be placed at the 6 o’clock
position of the pipe, taking care to secure
the PROTECTAMESH with a polypropylene banding.
Place all end to end overlaps min. 50mm/ 2”; all

All pads shall be secured to the pipe by using a min.
18mm/ 0.7” wide polypropylene banding.
After pads are secured to the pipe, the backfill
process may take place.
ROLLS
All rolls should be of adequate coverage to entirely cover the circumference of the pipe.
PROTECTAMESH is to be placed around pipe, whereby placing overlap portion at the 6 o’clock
position of the pipe.
Place all end to end overlaps min. 50mm/ 2”; all parallel pad overlaps min 150mm/ 6”.
In the event that a side overlap is used place the overlaps “shingle style”. This will ensure that no backfill will protrude under
