TECCO High Tensile Mesh in Geotechnical Engineering

In the world of geotechnical engineering, the TECCO high tensile mesh system stands out as a revolutionary solution for slope stabilization, erosion control, and rockfall protection. Developed by BMP, a leader in protective systems, TECCO mesh is a testament to innovative engineering, offering unparalleled strength and flexibility for securing steep slopes and vulnerable terrains.

High tensile strength steel wire mesh is a special mesh made for strong support and resistance to rust. It stands up well against heavy hits from falling rocks or landslides and lasts a long time. This mesh fits well in different places and shapes because it’s very flexible. It also lets plants grow through it, which doesn’t stop nature from thriving.

We make it from very strong, rust-resistant steel wire that can handle a lot of force, like 1770Mpa, 1370Mpa, or 900Mpa. We use advanced machines to make the tecco high tensile mesh, which can be diamond-shaped or square. You might see it as Tecco G65 / 3, Tecco G80 / 4, Tecco G45 / 2, and more. The mesh comes in various sizes like 65mm, 80mm, 45mm, and others. Thanks to upgrades in our equipment, we can now make this mesh in many different sizes and types of holes. We test all our products thoroughly and can even give you free samples to try out.

1770Mpa

When we talk about the strength of TECCO high tensile mesh, such as one with a tensile strength of 1770 Mpa (Megapascals), we’re delving into how much force it can withstand before it fails. However, translating this strength into the weight of the rock it can hold, like in tons, involves several considerations including the mesh’s configuration, the angle of the slope, and the specific application setup. Here’s a simplified explanation:

Understanding 1770 Mpa in Practical Terms

A tensile strength of 1770 Mpa means the wire can withstand a force of 1770 megapascals before breaking. To put it into more familiar terms, 1 Mpa is roughly equal to 145 pounds per square inch (psi). So, 1770 Mpa equates to about 256,650 psi.

Why it have to be high tensile

Tecco mesh needs to be high tensile because it has to handle heavy impacts from things like falling rocks or landslides. High tensile strength means the mesh can take a lot of force without breaking. This strength is crucial for keeping slopes stable, protecting areas from rockfalls, and stopping soil from washing away during heavy rains. Also, because it’s so strong, we don’t need to use as much material to cover an area, making it a cost-effective solution. Plus, the flexibility of high tensile mesh lets it fit snugly on uneven surfaces, ensuring complete protection. Lastly, its strength helps it last longer, even in harsh weather, saving money on replacements.For guidance on installing TECCO wire mesh, please refer to our TECCO Mesh Installation Manual.
