TECCO Mesh for Slope Erosion Control, Rockfall Barriers, Slope Protection TECCO Wire Netting System

TECCO high-tensile mesh slope stabilisation system

The TECCO high-tensile mesh slope stabilisation system (boulder netting, flexible facing) stabilises steep, weathered slopes in place of concrete and shotcrete constructions and conventional net systems: After cleaning, leveling and profiling the surface, the TECCO high-tensile steel wire mesh can be pretensioned on the slope at a defined force using soil or rock nails and spike plates. The mesh adapts to the topography and so prevents not only slides and deformations, but also breakouts.

Benefits
compared with supporting walls, shotcrete, wire rope nets, heavy square mesh nets and reinforced hexagonal meshes:

• system dimensioning is measurable
• freely selectable anchor points
• fast installation over large areas
• practically invisible when the vegetation establishes
• CO₂ footprint is significantly better than with shotcrete

Components
The TECCO system consists of four main components that are carefully coordinated with each other:

• TECCO high-tensile steel wire mesh
• TECCO spike plates
• TECCO connection clips
• Soil or rock nails

Dimensioning
With our RUVOLUM dimensioning concept, the optimal forces at the anchor points can be determined as a function of the geotechnical parameters, to provide the static verification for the overall system. The relevant software is available on request.
