The customer required a reliable solution that would ensure the strength of the end modules. The ROCCO rockfall barrier meets these requirements and even exceeds the requirements of the current gui
BAM Ritchies, working closely with Geobrugg and Scotland Transerv, developed a solution of an eighty meters long, 4 m high shallow landslide barrier and 15.0 m wide VX ‘in-channel’ barrier nearby....
A 10 meters wide VX080-H2 debris flow barrier was modified to include a 12 meters 16/3/300 ROCCO ring net tail. This system enabled the rockfall and debris energy to be attenuated and guided down t
The office of Geoplan AG, Steg, VS was commissioned by the BLS AG to draw up immediate measures for securing the erosion slope and also the gallery.
The best option provides for the followi
A VX080-H4 debris flow barrier was combined with a 12/3/350 ROCCO ring net tail. This system enables the rockfall and debris energy to be attenuated and guided down to a catchment area at the toe...
In order to protect this critical infrastructure, a dynamic barrier with a capacity of 3,000 kJ of energy absorption, 7 meters high and 60 meters long w...
Geovert was awarded the contract to design and build a bespoke rockfall protection solution above the State Highway to actively control the frequent high energy rockfalls. The best solution for the
The three VX ring net barriers in the Trachtbach have an almost identical flume geometry. All three barriers can retain a volume of 4,000 m³ for a total retention capacity of 12,000 m³.
This description only details the northwest oriented tunnel entrances of Ofenegg and Kerenzerberg.

The range of the rockfall barriers extends from RXE-1000 (6 meters high) to the RXE-3000 (7.5 m high). Determining the height of the retention system was an important part of the studies due to the
Following detailed rockfall modelling and determination of the likely frequency height and impact energy of potential rockfall, Jubb settled on a 5 metres high GBE-500A rockfall barrier to be insta...
Construction commenced on March 8th with rock drilling to install anchors and base plates for the barrier’s post foundations. Based on the study results national authorities decided to apply a Geob...
To protect the sliders of the barrier against felling with wood, the protective net was placed on the water side. In this project we also supporte
A 8 meters high RXE-5000 barrier was installed.
The soution shall protect the railway line against snow slides, snow avalanches and rockfalls. Choosing flexible rockfall barriers willl decrease the amount of traffic disturbances.

Geobrugg delivered temporary (on the road level) and permanent rockfall protection for the widening of Tuen Mun Road.
As part of a large-scale effort to protect Merligen, Canton of Bern from periodic flooding, the Groenbach creek was equipped with a debris flow protection system. Above the protection system there
Supply and design support as well adaptations to the local situation of a rock catch fence RXE-8000.
Geobrugg installed a RX-075 rockfall barrier above the existing slope stabilization solution.
After a 5-ton block had hit the barrier, a general maintenance of all barriers was carried out in 2019. The works included:
- Cleaning the barriers
- Replacement of a ring net section,
At the time of installation, the RXE-8000 barrier was state of the art in network protection with a European certification, capable of withstanding an impact of 8000 kilojoules. It is planned to le
A 4 m RXE-2000 rockfall barrier was modified into an 89 m Hybrid Attenuator with a 12/3/350 ROCCO® ringnet tail. This system enables the rockfall energy to be attenuated and guided into a catchment...
A 6 m RXE-2000 rockfall barrier was modified into a 56 m special attenuator. The attenuator consisted of a 12/3/350 ROCCO® ringnet in the impact zone (first 10 m) and a 7/3/350 ROCCO® tail (2...
A 104 m long self cleaning canopy (SCC-500) was installed at SR10. The self cleaning canopy was selected due to it's self cleaning ability and being able to withstand multiple rockfall impacts up t...
Geobrugg engineers designed a solution using our ROCCO 12/3/350 ring net to catch the block. Given the requirement to hand-carry and manually winch the net to the roof, we customized the ring net p...
After rockfalls visible already in winter 2010, a fatal accident happened in summer 2011. This incident triggered installation of protection measures in Oia Village including the removal of a rock
Olympia Joint Venture signed a contract with Geobrugg to execute emergency rockfall mitigation measures with the aim to re-open the road for two weeks during Easter time. The remaing part of the wo
On the link road Chalais to Vercorin, the self-cleaning rockfall protection solution Canopy SCC-500 has been implemented for maximum energies up to 500 kJ.

22 barriers were installed between mid-November 2015 and end of February 2016. Noteworthy are the means of transportation: By air from Switzerland to Lima and by muscle power over the final kilomet
During the spring of 2017, a storm-induced debris flow overwhelmed the original, basic debris flow structure. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) contacted Geobrugg North Amer
Three kilometers of rockfall barriers were carried out under full traffic. Together with the realignment of the highway through a set of tunnels the elastic rockfall barriers increased the safety o...
As passive protection measures, AXI and RXI rockfall barriers with dynamic capacity ranging from 500 to 3000 kJ were chosen for the following sectors:
