Alongside the Panama Canal, a TECCO® slope stabilization system has replaced a crumbling shotcrete covering at a danger point What a shotcrete covering could not achieve - i.e. stopping a block of basalt from undergoing further fracturing and the formation of cracks - was ensured thanks to the flexible TECCO® mesh and 13-meter-long anchors with a nail grid of 2.75 x 2.75 m and partial pretensioning of between 30 and 50 kN. Once the natural vegetation returned to the site, the stabilization measure will become more or less invisible.   Read more about this project in our photographic documentation "TECCO® - slope stabilization system in the Panama Canal, Gaillard Cut, Purple Rock sector / Panama"

Erosion at the base of a bridge pillar near Topoloveni (Romania) was halted with no need to divert the river Installing the protective measure originally planned - a concrete structure - would have meant diverting the river, which would have been time-consuming and expensive. Two flexible debris flow barriers were installed in the riverbed in just 30 days, with no need to divert the river. Filled with rock, the debris flow barriers successfully halted the erosion process and stabilized the bridge pillar.
