About
Definition
A Rock Fall barrier systems are an engineered structure that provide rockfall protection by stopping falling rocks: They absorb the kinetic energy of the rocks, block their trajectory, and detain them before they can cause damage . Clients can design their own barrier, but most elect to purchase a proprietary system from a supplier, which the client simply needs to install on site. The fence normally requires minor site preparation and rock anchors for support.
Types
- Rigid Barrier( Stiff)
- Flexible Barrier
- Attenuators
- Rigid Barrier (Deformable)
Benefits
Rockfall Barriers for Risk Mitigation
Rockfall barriers effectively mitigate and reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to private and public assets caused by rockfalls. Various types of systems can be customized according to the risk analysis and specific location conditions to ensure optimal protection.
- Rock fall barriers Mitigates and lowers the risk of personal damage or damage of individual assets or Public assets due to the rockfall.
- Different types of system can be adapted based on the risk analysis and the location
Application
Customizable Rock Fall Barriers for Various Applications
Rock Fall Barriers can be chosen as per the application and accordingly can be installed on upslope on hilly terrain or on ground, or on steep and narrow slopes for retaining rocks, depending on the protected Area/structure.
Rock fall Barriers are used in Railway for Protection rail lines
Tunnel portals are the entry and exit points of a tunnel, designed to provide structural stability and safe access.
along Highways, in Open Mines
Hill slopes are inclined landforms that can be prone to erosion and require proper stabilization for safety and sustainability.
above tunnel portals and Deep Excavations
Rock retaining involves using rocks to create stable structures that prevent soil erosion and provide support for slopes or walls.
