Insteel produces engineered structural mesh ("ESM") for a broad range of commercial, infrastructure and residential construction applications. ESM may consist of plain wires, deformed wires, or a combination of both and is manufactured with a yield strength range of 65ksi to 80ksi for plain wire and 70ksi to 80ksi for deformed wire. We offer a wide range of wire sizes and spacing, providing you with the exact cross-sectional area required to meet the specifications of your project. ESM may be ordered to size, utilizing variable spacing and wire sizes, thereby minimizing oversteeling. The use of ESM in footings, slabs, walls and roofs provides uniform stress distribution and effective crack control. ESM also provides shear resistance and confinement reinforcing when used in columns, beams and girders. Other uses for ESM include, but are not limited to, drainage structures, sports venues, tunnels and roadway/bridge barriers. The ease and speed with which ESM is handled and installed saves substantial time during placement and allows for significant reductions in steel area and weight. These benefits translate into reduced costs and increased value for the end user. Our ESM products conform to ASTM A1064 (replaces A185 for plain welded wire and A497 for deformed welded wire).
