The
TECCO®
system stabilises steep
slopes: after cleaning, trimming and levelling,
the surface is covered with a high-tensile
steel-wire mesh, tensioned using claw
plates placed level with the anchoring
heads. It owes its high-performance to
an alloyed, high-tensile steel wire Ø
3 mm.
It is ideal for stabilising landslides
and heavier slides, and also for preventing
rocks from breaking out. The flexibility
of this mesh fits to the topography confining
the surface terrains.
Its three-dimensional shape ensures good
re-adhesion of vegetation layers.
TECCO® meshes
have a useful life of over 100 years in
the face of corrosion.
TECCO® steel-wire
mesh:
- High-tensile, alloyed steel wire
- Diamond-shaped meshes matched to the
strain conditions prevailing in the slope,
three-dimensional structure ensuring good
adhesion of vegetation layers
- Tensioned meshes for optimal protection
from erosion and rockfall
- Installation-friendly, low unit weight.
TECCO® claw plates:
- Lightweight steel plates reinforced
by flutes
- Designed for system prestresses of 30
to 50 kN.
- Force transmission from mesh to anchoring
optimised in tests.
TECCO® compression
claws:
- Designed to connect meshes and for fixation
purposes along the boundaries, these integrally
transmit the forces prevailing on the
mesh.
Soil and
rock nails:
all commercially available grouted anchor
bar products can be used.
TECCO®
is a system for the stabilisation of slopes
which fits unobtrusively into the natural
environment but is functionally on par
with solid building constructions.
Toughness:
TECCO®
can be tensioned over sharp rock edges
and forms an active and effective protection
against rockfall.
Effective
life:
even in an unfavourable environment, hot-dip
galvanising of the system parts and super-coating
of the mesh guarantee an effective life
of over 100 years and thereby an excellent
economic efficiency.
Safety:
tensioning is not the system's only efficiency
factor. The meshing and the depth of the
anchoring are determined on the basis
of the slope's gradient, the geological
characteristic values and the critical
layer thickness.
Plus:
the TECCO®
system allows combining with supplementary
measures such as greening or other protection
measures against erosion.
Dimensioning:
the RUVOLUM® concept allows the three-dimensional
study of TECCO® to integrate the specific
geotechnical parameters.
