Georg products can provide solution to following problems

Tree falls
Rock masses/ rock avalanches
Snow slides
Local/ small scale earth slides
Provides barriers against shallow landslides
Protects against underwater instabilities
Stabilizes river banks
Can with stand maximum energies upto 8000 kJ, multiple impacts

Advantages of geobrugg products over normal products

High tensile steel wire

High cutting resistance
High energy absorption capability
Long life with low maintenance
Simple to maintain because only the support and retaining ropes are fitted with side brake
rings

Tests conducted

Impact and tearing tests

Vertical fall test for most extreme stresses
Tensile test of the mesh in longitudinal and transverse direction
Tensile load parallel to the slope
Perforation test on the mesh parallel to the nails
Punching tests using spike plate

Why it is more economic?

Produces in four continents
Increases life span by 6-10 times because of its zinc-aluminum coating making it
corrosive resistance
Uses Simulation software to see which parts of structure are stressed with forces
Additional help
Ruvolum software is available online to determine the design requirements.
Delivers preassembled and clearly identified system components to the construction site.
Provide support if desired, including technical support from installation right on up until
acceptance of the structure.
Advantages over shotcrete walls

Cost effective thanks to flexible nail spacing

No drainage outlets required
Groundwater can circulate freely
Virtually invisible
Quick and easy to install with no excavation work required
No additional strain on slope
Closed traffic routes can reopen quickly
Stays flexible during tremors and earthquake

Advantages over wire rope nets, hexagonal meshes and heavy square mesh nets

Quicker to install
Easier to adapt
Stronger
Load bearing performance can be controlled
Easier to tension
Greater flexibility and dimensional stability
Minimal deflection
Free choice of anchor points
Fast mounting of the spiral rope net rolls over large areas
Suitable for reinforcing existing protection measures

Installation
T3 clips are used to connect the mesh panels reliably and without overlap
By means of spike plates the spiral net can be stretched over edges and rock spurs with
rock nails or rock anchors.
Geobrugg ring net stopped a 20 MT concrete cube with an impact velocity of 103 km/h
Geobrugg retain upto 1000 m3
Slope protection works
High tensile wire mesh
Can be optimized depending on subsoil with several mesh types
Small CO2 foot print and option to cover with natural vegetation
Advantages

High performance despite low weight

All components have an uniform strength
Can be installed close to ground even in irregular terrain
Little deformation
Quick to construct
Maintenance free

Minimal disruption to nature

Can be covered with vegetation quickly
Permeable to water
Virtually invisible
Pre-tensioning optimized to minimize deformation
Even distribution of forces
Simple to connect with no unnecessary overlaps
Highly resistant to perforation
High tensile strength
Has load bearing capacity of 100% even at seams
Cost effective solution with half as many nails
Can absorb substantially higher forces and transfer them onto nailing

If an economical spacing of nails are aimed simple wire meshes are unable to absorb the
occurring forces and to transmit them on to the nails

By tightly pressing the spike plate in the ground to be stabilized the mesh is tensioned
Design considerations
Local stability
o Instabilities near the surface and parallel to the slope
o Local instabilities between the nails
Global stability
Instabilities parallel to slope
1. Proof against a superficial layer sliding off

It is assumed that no excess hydrostatic pressure and no flow pressure is acting on the sliding
body
G = dead weight of cubic body
CxA = retaining influence of cohesion along sliding surface inclined by angle with
horizontal
V = force with stabilizing effect in the direction of nail
Which pretensions the mesh against slope surface
S = shear force which is to be absorbed by nail and transferred
into stable subsoil

N, T = reaction forces from sub soil which acts in vertical and

Tangential direction to the sliding surface

mod = uncertainty correction factor
