Stainless Steel Mesh as a Geotechnical Barrier
Stainless Steel Mesh as a Geotechnical Barrier
(OP)
My team has been looking into geomembranes that will not degrade from contact with potentially hot oil. We would like the oil and any other fluids to pass through the geomembrane rather than being contained. Through our research and speaking with suppliers, we have determined that the best product for our purpose may simply be a stainless steel mesh layer. The mesh layer is to separate a top layer of quenching stone from the lower level of void stone. It needs to be fine enough to not allow contamination between the different stone types but also strong enough to support the layer of stone above as well as heavy machinery operating above.
Does anyone have any suggestions on a product that will work for our purpose?
(I do not have gradation information for the stone layers currently).
Thank you.

AustinJC...stainless steel can be obtained in almost any mesh size and gauge. Keep in mind that the sheet sizes will be limited and you'll have to splice each sheet to the next by some means. The most likely method would be lapping and wire-tieing.
