Mesh BRC A98

BRC A98 Mesh is a welded steel reinforcement mesh manufactured from high-tensile steel wires welded at every intersection to create a strong and uniform reinforcement grid. It is designed to improve the structural strength of concrete, distribute loads evenly, and minimize cracking in slabs, foundations, pavements, and other reinforced concrete applications.

BRC A98 is one of the most commonly used reinforcement meshes in Kenya for residential, commercial, and light industrial construction projects. It offers an efficient and cost-effective alternative to manually tying steel reinforcement bars, helping contractors save time and labor while maintaining consistent reinforcement quality. Typically, A98 mesh is produced using approximately 5mm high-yield steel wires with 200mm × 200mm spacing, although specifications may vary slightly by manufacturer.

Key Features

• Manufactured from high-tensile welded steel wire.

• Uniform reinforcement across the entire concrete surface.

• Helps reduce shrinkage and temperature cracking.

• Faster installation than conventional reinforcement bars.

• Cost-effective reinforcement solution.

• Excellent load distribution properties.

• Suitable for residential, commercial, and light industrial projects.

• Available in standard sheets and rolls depending on supplier specifications.
