flows, and other natural hazards. That is why Geobrugg has developed a range of software products that have been verified and calibrated in tests that replicate real-life conditions. Slope stabilisation solutions TECCO® SYSTEM3 Safety, cost-effectiveness, and sustaina- bility: These are the qualities that have made the several million square metres of the TECCO® SYSTEM3 installed to date an unparalleled global success story. TECCO® mesh, featuring 2mm, 3mm or 4mm wire made from high-tensile steel, can be used to stabilise virtually any kind of slope, whether it consists of rock or loose

soil. Coupled with either of two different sized spike plates, the TECCO® SYSTEM3 offers an attractive nail grid and, therefore, maximum efficiency during installation. This system is lightweight, has rhomboid-shaped mess (ideal for force transmission plus slope adaptation), is exceptionally economical. Rockfall protection GBE barriers Featuring high-tensile steel wire and an exceptionally straightforward installa- tion method, this product is setting a new standard in the field of rockfall protection barriers. Geobruggs GBE barriers, designed for impact energy levels of up to 3 000 kJ, are delivered to construction sites preassem- bled for installation onto support posts.

A Geobrugg ring net stopped a 20 tons concrete cube with an impact velocity of 90 km/h.

The system ensure rapid installation as it is a pre-assembled system, has a longer life- time as it comes with corrosion protection, is an environmentally friendly solution and ensures maximum protection.
