Temeltek offers engineering solutions for rock slide prevention. Every mountain is slowly disintegrating due to the irreversible process of erosion. Over time, high winds, animal movements, flowing water, cycles of thawing and freezing as well as man-made activity all contribute to the possibility of a rock slide occurring although creates the conditions for rockslides.
Rock slides can be classified according to their mechanism of failure, requiring an understanding of the geological environment and rock material characteristics.
In some circumstances, pre-cursors, such as the development of tension cracks, smaller scale rockfall events, and deforming ground surface, have been identified locally, generating a focused investigation.
Rock Mechanics
TemelTEK Mühendislik Ltd.is a comprehensive rock mechanics consultancy with highly experienced professional geotechnical engineers. Our services start from monitoring systems for strata and rock mechanics measurement to design and solution implementation. Successfully completed works for a wide international client base have covered many turnkey projects.
Our rock mechanics engineers have been highly involved in the study and design of the rock structures generated by civil construction activity, drilling, mining, reservoir production, mining shafts, underground excavations, open pit mines, oil and gas wells, road cuts, waste repositories, and other structures built in or of rock.
Rock mechanics is the theoretical and applied science of the mechanical behavior of rock and rock masses. Rock mechanics studies the response of rock and rock mass to the force fields of their environment.
Rockfall Protection
TemelTEK Mühendislik Ltd. offers rockfall protection systems with comprehensive design, planning and implementation services. Our expert geotechnical engineers study the site, advise the design professionals and oversee the planning and implementation stages. Our contracting installation services are equip with the latest materials and armed with highly experienced operators. Combining our specialized skill set we are able to assist in securing slopes form a range of rockfall problems.
Rockfall protection is managed in one of two ways: either by passive mitigation or active mitigation. Passive mitigation solutions include the use of drape nets, rockfall catchment fences, diversion dams, etc. The rockfall occurs a solution is in place to control the outcome. Active mitigation on the other hand, include rockfall management techniques such as rock bolting, slope retention systems, wire meshing, shotcrete, etc. Changing the geographic or climatic characteristics in the initiation zone by altering slope geometry, dewatering the slope or revegetation is also an option in certain cases. Rockfall protection is fundamental in safeguarding people and infrastructure below slopes such as roads, railways and buildings.
Rock Bolting
TemelTEK Mühendislik Ltd. is both a geotechnical consulting and contracting firm. We consult to some of the largest ongoing turnkey works and also participate in contracting tenders globally. TemelTEK Mühendislik Ltd. has brought together competencies in civil works that enables the company to successfully complete a wide range of slope stability projects. Together with our clients, we are continuously improving the design of protection installations against rockslides, avalanches and mud slides. Rock bolting is one of several techniques offered.
Rock bolting is a primary means of rock reinforcement used to stabilize rock. Rock bolts are always installed in a pattern, the design of which depends on the type of excavation. They are arranged in such a way as to transfer the load from the exterior of the rock, to the stronger interior part of the rock. Rock bolting reinforcement and support is maximized with the addition of a wire meshing system and shotcrete or revegetation. TemelTEK Mühendislik Ltd. has been using the combination of rock bolting and wire meshing for civil engineering projects in mountainous terrains with quite some success.
