Rockfall drapes made of high-tensile steel wire

THE SAFE AND ECONOMICAL WAY TO GUIDE ROCKFALLS

2

Wherever roads, railway lines or other infrastructures

need to be protected against rockfall our drapes made

from high-tensile steel wire nets are a perfect economical

solution. They allow rockfalls to be controlled and guided

into the deposition zones.

HIGH EFFICIENCY – RELIABLE SAFETY.

Over the crest of the rock face spiral rope anchors are used to fix the support rope. For example TECCO® or SPIDER® panels are connected to the support rope and hung over the rock slope. Rockfall events are controlled underneath the durable mesh and are safely and reliably guided into the designated runout zones.

Depending on local conditions our TECCO® rockfall drape is suitable for rock slopes up to a height of more than 100 m and incidents of several cubic metres. All mesh types are made from high-tensile steel wire with a strength of 1770 N/mm2 offering the required resistance and flexibility.

High-tensile steel wire

Durable thanks to high resistance: Our nets and meshes have a wire tensile-strength of over

1770 N/mm2 and can withstand high dynamic loads without big deformation.

Full system tested

The performance and behavior of the rockfall drape can be fully calculated with all its

components, as it has been extensively tested as a complete system.

Approval

ETA approval with CE mark according to EAD230025-00-0106.

Matching mesh to the rockfall intensity

Optimum cost/performance ratio, as the required protection can be achieved with

different netting such as with TECCO® meshes whose small aperture means no secondary

mesh is required.

Easy installation

Our meshes and nets have an excellent strength to weight ratio and are easy to transport.

They allow easy unrolling for a quick and simple installation. Even high slopes/faces are

protected with minimal impact to the natural environment and minimal carbon footprint.

Corrosion protection

Our systems are designed to last for generations and require very little maintenance. For

particularly demanding environments we offer our products also in stainless steel.

QUALITY YOU CAN RELY ON.

Geobrugg rockfall drapes provides the following features:

Our flexible meshes and nets made out of high-tensile steel wire are the ideal products for rockfalll drapes. The wire is extremely durable against mechanical stress, while at the same time the mesh is sufficiently flexible to absorb impacts. These properties allow the mesh to be hit by falling rocks without any serious damages.
