GeoZone GeoServices, under the banner of her sister company Rock Africa provides a rockfall protection service to the mining and civil engineering industry. Rock Africa is affiliated with Geobrugg Switzerland who manufacture, test, advise and if needed install rockfall protection systems throughout the world.

Geobrugg is indisputably the world leader in developing and testing rockfall barriers and their specifications have been included in the European standards for these types of installations.

South Africa's flagship installation were the catch fences on Chapman's Peak Drive, but Geobrugg supplies a range of other products, most notably Teccomesh and Spider made from high tensile, galvanised wire which exceed the performance of standard hex mesh and are eminently suitable for stabilising rock slopes and in some instances obviate the need for shotcrete.

Rock Africa has the capability to design, supply and install these products in any environment and anywhere in Africa thanks to its strategic partnerships and its close relationship with Geobrugg. For more information please go here.
