Geobrugg Australia has available a range of solutions to help mining companies protect their workers from hazardous situations.

The flexible rockfall barriers are designed for impact energies ranging from 100 to 5’000 kJ. They are successfully tested in a 1:1 field test and certified in accordance with the Swiss Guidelines for rockfall net approvals.

The TECCO system is appropriate for stabilising steep soil, sediment and rock slopes as well as for retaining walls. The mesh is anchored with soil or rock nails behind the sliding layer pretensioned at a
defined force using spike plates at the surface.

The TECCO rockfall drape is a safe and economical alternative for situations, where the catchment area is too small and the calculated rockfall bounce heights as well as the expected kinetic energies are
too high for a dynamic rockfall barrier.

The MESHA provides a fast, safe and fully mechanised installation of TECCO and DELTAX mesh for ground support in underground mining and tunnelling. It is able to be quickly retro-fitted to standard
underground drilling/bolting equipment.
