Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
Did you know this?
This is a product called the "Plaras Net."
The other day, a sales rep from Maeda Kosen came by our office and left this behind lol
A key feature of this product is that it is made of polypropylene.
It's the same as the PP rope we often use.
That's why it's fluffy and light.
I use it as a mesh net, and it's super light.
It weighs one-fifth as much as a standard wire mesh.
Can I just toss it down from the top of the slope to set it up?
Apparently, it's that light—like, "Whoa!" lol
I think it adheres better than wire mesh.
Even at first glance or to the touch, it’s clear that it has plenty of surface area.
One thing that concerns me is: what if this area absorbs moisture too quickly when the mortar is sprayed on?
What happens when you’re working on a cold day with temperatures below freezing? (I know people will probably say, “You shouldn’t be working at all,” but we’re going to do it anyway, right? lol)
What if it absorbs moisture from the rain?
There are a few other points that concern me, but,
Since this type of mesh doesn't require much strength to begin with, I think PP would be fine.
As for cracks, it looks like there will be fewer of them.
Since it conforms to cracks in both vertical and horizontal directions with a structure similar to that of fiber strands, it appears to be highly effective in that regard.
It seems this product is more commonly used on acidic soil than on regular mountains.
Because it doesn't corrode.
That's what I thought, but if it doesn't need to be strong in the first place, then even if it rots...
Well, I suppose everyone has their own opinion, but I'd like to try it at least once.
You won't know unless you try it.
How are things going at your workplace?
Just the fact that it's new makes it valuable!
People who use it are even more valuable!!
On the other hand, it’s totally fine to say, “Actually, this way of using it seems better!”
See you later.
