Are you an ACI certified flatwork tech?
If it wasn't up to ACI's specs, then no self respecting engineer would allow plans with his stamp to have wire mesh allowed, and every day thousands of square feet of it go into concrete.
IT MUST BE INSTALLED CORRECTLY, but mesh is a perfectly acceptable form of reinforcement.
