GBE barriers: Highly cost-effective barriers thanks to simple installation

Lightweight and pre-assembled, GBE barriers are easy to install and economical, with energy capacities up to 5000 kJ. They provide reliable protection according EAD 340059-00-0106 class A for light to medium rockfall risks, blending harmoniously into the environment.

Low anchor forces

Short anchors are sufficient. This significantly lowers drilling time during installation and
therefore the overall costs of the project.

Pre-assembled

The posts are delivered to the construction site as modules with pre-installed bundles of mesh. This significantly reduces the installation time as well as making the process easier.

High safety standards

Our barriers fulfill the EAD 340059-00-0106 (ETAG 027) guidelines, most of them bear the CE mark, and are tested according to the most demanding method in vertical free fall.

Light and unobtrusive

The barrier's low weight makes it easy to install. With its high-tensile steel wire and innovative design, this solution conserves materials, protects the environment and is virtually invisible from a distance.
