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.
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.
High-tensile steel wire is characterised by high
cutting resistance, high energy absorption
capability and long life with low maintenance.
This makes world records possible.
