High Strength SICCO® Mesh
High Strength SICCO® Mesh
The SICCO® Mesh manufacturing process involves the use of high- tensile steel wires, which are mechanized woven into a robust Mesh. The wires undergo a precise treatment for durability and strength, ensuring a minimum ultimate tensile strength of 1770 N/mm². This process ensures uniformity, reliability, and optimal performance in slope stabilization.
SICCO® Mesh include high tensile strength of 1770 N/mm², precise wire treatment for durability, and uniform performance across the entire slope.

Main Advantages Of High Strength SICCO® Mesh
There are several advantages of using High Strength SICCO® Mesh, the most important are the following:
- 1. Cost-Effectiveness: Mesh offers cost-effectiveness by reducing the need for traditional methods like shotcrete walls and supporting structures. Its easy installation, large coverage area, and durability minimize maintenance costs over time. The system's efficiency and adaptability to various slopes lower overall project expenses while maintaining high performance and safety standards.
- 2. Environmental Benefits: Mesh provides environmental benefits by using sustainable materials and eco-friendly coatings. It prevents soil erosion, supports vegetation growth, and promotes ecological balance. The system reduces the need for traditional construction materials like concrete, and its long lifespan minimizes the frequency of repairs, conserving natural resources and reducing waste.
- 3. Enhanced Performance: Mesh enhances performance by offering high tensile strength (≥1770 N/mm²), ensuring long-term stability in slope stabilization and rockfall protection. Its uniform tension distribution prevents slippage, while the ability to accommodate larger anchor distances provides flexibility in design. The Mesh adapts well to varying slopes, improving overall structural integrity and safety.
- 4. Ease of Installation: Mesh offers ease of installation through its large roll sizes (30 x3) Meters, reducing the number of joints and installation time. The light weight Mesh is easy to handle, and its flexibility allows for quick adaptation to different slope angles. Pretensioning anchors simplify the setup, ensuring effective stabilization with minimal effort.
Installation Process of High Strength SICCO® Mesh
The installation of High Strength SICCO® Mesh should be carried out according to the approved engineering design, site conditions and required anchoring system. A typical installation sequence includes:
1. Site Assessment & Preparation
Inspect the slope or ground surface and identify loose rock, unstable areas and installation boundaries. Prepare the work area as required.
2. Setting Out
Mark the required mesh coverage, anchor locations and installation levels according to the approved layout.
3. Anchor Installation
Install the specified anchors or reinforcement elements at the designed locations to provide secure fixing and load transfer.
4. Mesh Positioning
Unroll and position the SICCO® Mesh over the prepared slope surface. Ensure adequate coverage and alignment.
5. Mesh Connection
Connect adjoining mesh panels using suitable connection or lacing methods to provide continuity across the protected area.
6. Mesh Fixing
Secure the mesh to the installed anchors using suitable plates, clips or approved fixing components.
7. Tensioning & Adjustment
Adjust the mesh as required to achieve proper contact, alignment and coverage over the slope surface without compromising the designed system arrangement.
8. Final Inspection
Inspect the completed system for mesh coverage, connections, anchor fixing and overall installation quality before handover.
Application Area Of Sicco Mesh
Features OF Sicco Mesh
Enhanced Strength :
Due to the cold-working process, the grain structure is refined and aligned, improving tensile and fatigue strength.
Improved Surface Finish :
Threads produced by rolling have a smoother surface compared to cut threads, reducing stress concentrations and potential corrosion points.
Dimensional Accuracy :
Cold-threaded bolts offer precise and uniform thread dimensions.
Increased Hardness :
The thread surface is work-hardened, making it resistant to wear and damage.
Material Efficiency :
The rolling process displaces material rather than removing it, leading to less waste.
Corrosion Resistance :
The smoother surface reduces the likelihood of corrosion compared to rough, cut threads.
