    Network rail is investing a record \u00a31.25bn in track upgrades, signalling, embankments, structures, stations and depots to give passengers in Kent and South East London better journeys, with fewer delays. As part of this, they are reshaping embankments to ensure delays due to landslips will be minimised along the southeast routes. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

    As there is a vast landscape covered on the route there have been environmental challenges to prevent wildlife from burrowing into embankments and causing collapse and delays on the lines.  At Edenbridge, project work involved revegetating the embankment and then installing measures to prevent rabbits, badgers or other larger burrowing animals from accessing the soil and burrowing into the core of the embankment. Not only does this potentially undermine its structural integrity, but also storm water run-off can enter the core of the embankments through these animal burrows, weakening it.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

    A robust, yet ecologically friendly anti-burrowing system was required to prevent this problem from occurring, whilst also allowing vegetation to be incorporated and retained within the embankment slopes.<\/p><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

    Maccaferri\u2019s RenoMesh Anti Burrowing Mesh has been proven to be a strong deterrent to burrowing animals. Unlike any plastic \u2018geogrid\u2019 style or thin wire \u201crabbit\u201d netting, Maccaferri Anti Burrowing Mesh can prevent not only rabbits but also larger animals such as badgers and beavers from burrowing into the embankment. RenoMesh Anti-Burrowing Mesh is the result of research and provides environmentally friendly active protection against large rodents. Its mesh apertures were selected also to limit juvenile burrowing mammals.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

    The mesh is flexible woven \u2018Double Twist\u2019 mesh with a zinc-aluminium heavy-duty galvanising coating. This mesh is additionally coated with our advanced unique PoliMac\u00ae coating which is far more resistant to UV, and abrasion, and offers a longer design life than traditional meshes. <\/p><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
