Geofabrics® Geomesh™ Rock is a modular wire mesh system, designed to build Mechanically Stabilised Earth (MSE) walls with an angled gabion rock-face finish at angles up to 87 degrees.
It is constructed using durable double-twist steel wire mesh, that forms a stable front face and an integrated reinforced tail section for maximum strength.
Geomesh Rock is perfect for projects where aesthetics and structural reliability go hand in hand, delivering clean, modern lines with a stone façade that blends seamlessly into the landscape. Its galvanised mesh frame ensures consistent alignment, while the high-quality stone infill creates a monolithic, natural look.

Whether you're working on a project to reinstate slip areas, support steep slopes or build bridge approach ramps, this system offers a proven, efficient solution with lasting durability. Its modular design speeds up installation, reduces onsite complexity and delivers a consistent finish every time.
The MSE system is ideally suited for a wide range of infrastructure projects including roadworks, rail corridors and mining operations.
WHY CHOOSE GEOMESH ROCK SYSTEM?
- Manufactured for an expected working life of up to 120 years, ensuring long-term durability and performance
- High-grade polymer-coated wire mesh provides exceptional corrosion resistance and structural strength, ensuring reliable performance in highly corrosive environments
- Designed to offer versatile face angles of 70, 80, and 87 degrees, delivering tailored solutions for steep wall profiles
- Suitable modular facing unit combined with geogrid reinforcement for structures in excess of 30m in height
- Improved structural performance with integral mesh tail to increase connection capacity, eliminating the need for a geogrid wrap on the facing unit
- Cost effective with the use of site-won backfill for structures under 70 degrees, reducing the reliance on imported fill materials
- Tested to ensure compliance with international quality standards
INSTALLING THE GEOMESH ROCK SYSTEM
Installation time can be reduced by up to 50 percent using our specialised tools available for hire, such as pneumatic lacing tools. The use of ‘C’ rings applied using our pneumatic lacing tools as an alternative to lacing wire makes Geomesh Natural system installation easier.
The Geomesh Rock system is supported by dedicated technical specialists at Geofabrics Australasia and advanced design software to deliver fast, accurate and tailored design support for every project.
The team at Geofabrics Australasia can also connect you with recommended specialist gabion installers, who can ensure adherence to best-practice gabion wall construction methods.

FUNCTION
Erosion & Sediment Control
The use of a geosynthetic to prevent soil or other particle movements on the surface slope. Acts to reduce soil erosion caused by wind forces, rainfall impact and surface water runoff. The use of geosynthetics in erosion control is to maintain soil cover either as a temporary measure offering protection from soil loss whilst vegetation is established or as a permanent control measure, typically on steeper slopes or high-water velocity situations.
Reinforcement
Geosynthetics provides additional strength to soils and aggregate. Used to reinforce steep slopes, and to stabilise road or rail construction over weak and variable soils. Enables embankments to be constructed over very soft foundations and to build slopes at steeper angles than would be possible with unreinforced soil. Geosynthetics (or geogrids) are also used to bridge over voids that may develop below load bearing granular layers (roads and railways) or below cover systems in landfill applications.
Retaining
Geosynthetic or geogrid acts to support soil laterally so that the structure can be retained at different levels on the two sides. Retain (holds back) any material (usually earth) and prevents it from sliding or eroding away. Gravity retaining and reinforced soil retaining walls are designed to resist the material pressure of the material that it is holding back.
