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.
