TECCO Mesh System
TECCO mesh is a high-tensile steel wire mesh engineered for slope stabilization. With significantly greater strength than standard mesh, TECCO systems stabilize fractured rock, weathered slopes, and loose debris by creating a continuous, reinforced surface anchored with rock bolts or soil nails.
Understanding TECCO Mesh System
TECCO mesh is a high-tensile steel wire mesh engineered for slope stabilization. With significantly greater strength than standard mesh, TECCO systems stabilize fractured rock, weathered slopes, and loose debris by creating a continuous, reinforced surface anchored with rock bolts or soil nails.
The system transfers loads from unstable material into anchors, creating active stabilization that prevents movement rather than just containing debris.
This technique is used in our services for:
Mesh & Barrier Systems 
Rock Anchoring Typical Applications
How It Works
Our proven methodology ensures consistent, high-quality results for every installation.
Scaling & Preparation
Remove immediate loose rock hazards before mesh installation.
Anchor Installation
Drill and grout pattern rock bolts or soil nails across the slope.
Mesh Deployment
Unroll high-tensile mesh panels from top down across the slope face.
Spike Plate Connection
Secure mesh to anchors with pressed spike plates, tensioning the system.
Key Advantages
High System Strength
High-tensile wire (1,770 N/mm²) provides system capacities up to 150 kN/m—far exceeding standard mesh.
Active Stabilization
Unlike draped mesh, TECCO is anchored across the face, actively preventing rock movement rather than just containing it.
Flexible Yet Secure
Diamond mesh pattern conforms to irregular rock surfaces while maintaining structural integrity.
Long Service Life
Galvanized and coated options provide 50+ year durability with minimal maintenance.
Proven Global Performance
TECCO systems have stabilized thousands of slopes worldwide with documented long-term success.
Technical Considerations
Soil/Rock Conditions
TECCO works on fractured rock, weathered material, and soil slopes. Anchor type and spacing adapted to ground conditions.
Groundwater
Mesh is permeable—does not trap water. Drainage provisions integrated as needed for groundwater management.
Load Capacity
System capacity determined by mesh type, anchor capacity, and spacing. Engineering design matches system to expected loads.
Spacing
Anchor spacing typically 2-4m grid depending on slope conditions and required system capacity.
Installation Method
Mesh panels unrolled from crest, overlapped and clipped together, secured to anchors with spike plates that tension the system.
Equipment Used
- Drill rigs for anchor installation
- Rope-access rigging systems
- Mesh handling equipment
- Spike plates and installation tools
- Tensioning equipment
Limitations
- Requires competent anchor zones
- Higher cost than standard mesh systems
- Installation on very steep slopes requires rope access
- Anchor pattern limits treatment of very loose material

Pinned Mesh Systems
Pinned mesh systems combine steel mesh with rock bolts or dowels to create a secure, reinforced slope surface. This containment system prevents loose blocks from detaching and provides long-term stability in both civil and mining applications.
Rock Bolting
Rock bolting stabilizes fractured, jointed, or unstable rock masses by anchoring steel bars deep into competent rock. By tying loose blocks back to stable substrate, rock bolts improve the overall strength and cohesion of slopes, cuts, tunnels, and vertical faces.
Soil Nailing
Steel bars driven into soil to reinforce and stabilize loose ground or slope faces.
Structural Shotcrete
Structural shotcrete is high-strength, reinforced concrete applied pneumatically to create durable retaining walls, tunnel linings, and slope support systems. Engineered to carry significant loads, it provides monolithic construction that conforms to irregular surfaces.
