MacArmour & SteelGrid
High-strength rockfall protection mesh
MacArmour
MacArmour is a 2-in-1 product that combines a homogeneous structure of bi-directional steel wire ropes with double twist wire mesh. The result is a unique product that has an excellent out-of-plane stiffness (punch resistance) and an outstanding tensile strength in the longitudinal and transversal directions.
Steelgrid HR
The Steelgrid HR System is an innovative complete system for rockfall mitigation and slope consolidation works. It is used as a drapery or as a high stiffness (low extension) bolted facing when anticipated loads exceed the capability of traditional DT Mesh. Maccaferri Steelgrid HR System combines a patented high strength steel wire mesh geocomposite which is used in conjunction with anchor plates, specific U-bolts and mesh connectors.

Il tratto ligure della Ciclovia Tirrenica "Riviera dei Fiori" collega Imperia e Diano Marina, offrendo un percorso di elevato valore paesaggistico grazie al costante affaccio sul mare. Il Lotto Prioritario Ligure – Stralcio 3 “Incompiuta” rientra nella pianificazione del Sistema Nazionale delle Ciclovie Turistiche e della Rete Ciclabile Ligure, con l’obiettivo di promuovere una mobilità sostenibile e valorizzare il patrimonio storico, culturale e ambientale. L'intervento, finanziato con oltre 11mln di euro, è stato realizzato dalla Regione Liguria e dai Comuni di Imperia e Diano Marina. L'area di intervento, posta ad una quota di circa 120m s. l. m. , ricade in un tratto di costa caratterizzato da versanti molto acclivi e diffusa instabilità. L'assetto giaciturale, spesso sfavorevole, dei sistemi di fratturazione, il grado di fratturazione dell'ammasso roccioso e l'azione degli agenti atmosferici hanno favorito nel tempo fenomeni di dissesto, prevalentemente crolli, che interessano le coperture detritiche e le pareti rocciose. Si è, dunque, reso necessario mettere in sicurezza i versanti a monte del tracciato ciclopedonale.

ÇÖPLER GOLD MINE ROCK FALL PROJECT
The Çöpler mine site is an open pit operation located 8 km away from Ilıc District of Erzincan City, approximately 550 km east of Ankara in Middle Anatolia with the capacity to process approximately 20,000 tonnes of oxide ore per day. During the extension of the waste storage area, rockfall from the rocky slopes next to the construction area forced the company to stop the construction temporarily in order to prevent damage on the membranes and to decrease the risk for the construction crew.

D1 HUBOVA-IVACHNOVA, Slope stabilisation solution (SO 249-00), Slovakia
The cut slope on the left side of the D1 highway in the Hubová – Ivachnová section is approximately 22. 0 m high and 150 m long. It had to be secured and stabilised. Because the geological profile is inconsistent, three consecutive structural systems were designed. The cut is divided into 3 tiers, each 6. 0 m high. The upper tier has a slope of 1:2 and the others 3:1. Overall stability is ensured by anchored concrete beams and rope anchors.
