Kikko Net is currently used in over 170 public works projects in Japan. It is the Japanese government's material of choice for land erosion prevention, soil stabilization, and rock restraint. Kikko Net is extremely strong – the tensile strength meets strengths of plain and galvanized similar diameter steel wire. Kikko Net is resistant to UV rays, making Kikko Net the premiere choice in all areas of erosion control prevention.
Installation of Kikko Net is easier and less expensive due to its lightweight design – 1/5 the weight of steel – lowering overall maintenance costs. At extremely steep slopes and sheer cliff sites, our lightweight highly durable net is easy to work with and safe. Heavy equipment is not always necessary for site work. Depending on the situation, work can often be completed without any traffic control costs.
Kikko Net resists deterioration in acidic and volcanic soil. Near the sea, the life span of galvanized steel is less than 13 years; initial installations of Kikko Net have been used successfully near the sea for over 25 years. |
