SE82 Seismic Reinforcing Mesh Grade 500E (Large Size - 6.06 x 2.43m)
SE82 mesh is suited for engineered applications such as suspended floors or engineered slabs where a specific minimum strength needs to be achieved. SE82 seismic mesh is usually specified by engineers during the design stage of projects. SE82 reinforcing mesh has been engineered to meet the shaky conditions of the New Zealand landscape. All SE82 mesh sheets have full traceability and can be used with confidence.

* Please consult your engineer if a specific overlap splice is required
What is SE82 Mesh?
- “S” stands for square (shape of the grids)
- “E” stands for earthquake (seismic grade)
- “8” stands for wire diameter in mm
- “2” stands for centres between wires (200mm)
SE82 seismic certified Grade 500E reinforcing mesh is manufactured in accordance with NZS4671:2019 Ductility Class E and NZS3604:2011 standards (NZ compliant).
Applications of Grade 500E Seismic Mesh
Seismic grade 500E reinforcing mesh is designed for high-strength performance in earthquake-prone areas, meeting strict engineering requirements for ductility and load resistance. It helps concrete structures flex under seismic forces without catastrophic failure. Installed per engineering plans, the mesh is supported on chairs or spacers to position it correctly within the slab or wall’s depth. Concrete is poured to fully encase the steel, ensuring maximum bond and strength, with overlaps and ties secured to maintain structural integrity during seismic events.
