New FIA Grade 2 Circuit enters the MotoGP calendar * Geobrugg delivers 6 km of concrete barriers and debris fencing for full circuit protection * Hungary returns to MotoGP after 33-year hiatus

Geobrugg feiert 20 Jahre Forschung und Erfahrung im Murgangschutz. Im Jahr 2005 traf ein Murgang mit voller Wucht auf eine instrumentierte Barriere im Illgraben – und markierte damit den Beginn einer neuen Ära im Schutz vor Murgängen. 

Nach der Flutkatastrophe im Ahrtal 2021, bei der grosse Teile der Bahnstrecke zerstört wurden, macht der Wiederaufbau sichtbare Fortschritte.

Geobrugg offers a range of rockfall barrier systems: GBE, RXE, and ROCCO, which were developed to address varying energy levels, terrain constraints, and project requirements.

Geobrugg's RXE-12500 rockfall barrier withstood a 25-ton concrete block impacting at 115 km/h (71.46 mph), absorbing a record of over 12,500 kilojoules of energy. This world-first offers new possibilities in rockfall protection.

On March 25 and 26, the Geobrugg Technical Conference 2025 was held in Guatemala City, organized by Geobrugg Central America for the fourth consecutive year. 
This year, 63 engineers and experts in the field of geotechnics and geohazard from Guatemala, Costa Rica, Chile, El Salvador, Honduras, Colombia, the Dominican Republic and Panama participated. 

Attendees were able to exchange knowledge and experiences at a Latin American level about the flexible steel systems manufactured by Geobrugg.
The event was sponsored by AMSIG and Geobrugg. We are also grateful for the organizational collaboration of our regional partners: Garzaro & Asoc., Warco-Geobrugg, IDM, ICA and Geobrugg Andina.
We will meet again next year.

- Highest debris fence homologated by the FIA
- New height option created for increased risk areas
- Added level of protection against flying debris for grandstands

Together with the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) and the Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment (IMHE), Geobrugg is the first company to test debris flow barriers in the world’s largest debris flow test facility in Dongchuan, China.

To ensure the drones can not leave the test site, the affected part of the building was fenced with Geobrugg mesh (G45/2 STAINLESS).

Since 1999 Geobrugg has been active in Japan. Over the years, we have been continuously growing and establishing our solutions in the Japanese market. In November 2024, a move to a larger production hall was necessary to continue meeting Japanese demand.

Geobrugg Japan K.K. is today located in Toyofuta, near Kashiwa.

At the beginning of October, Geobrugg tested the TECCO^®  G45/2 STAINLESS mesh for slope stabilization. The mesh has held up 270 tonnes at a 75° angle.

Until 2024, only a few companies were legally required to publish a sustainability report. However, with the introduction of a new EU regulation known as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), this number is set to rise dramatically. The increase will see the number of companies obligated to report, expand from approximately 11,000 to around 50,000 across the EU. The BRUGG Group will be impacted by this change starting in 2029.

Geobrugg South Africa opened its first high-strength steel wire mesh production facility. The mesh known as TECCO^® is used worldwide for slope stability, rockfall and debris flow protection. It also protects miners on all continents.

Geobrugg has launched a new software called ATTERO to dimension its rockfall attenuator systems. The tool will assist geotechnical designers in calculating the ideal solution for their attenuator barriers.

Geobrugg has updated its dimensioning tool, RUVOLUM. Determining the minimum required nail length for superficial instabilities (overall stability not decisive) has been integrated.

The first practical guide for the Geobrugg GUARD is now available. 

Our experts Matthias Denk and Sascha Schultes have put together a comprehensive guide to assist planners and monitoring specialists - tackling everything from the areas of application and signal reporting to use and maintenance, as well as determining responsibilities during the whole process.

- Mobile debris fence made for US motorsport approved by FIA
- Swiss company Geobrugg offering leading fencing solutions to American markets
- Rigorous tests passed to achieve FIA homologation

Safety measures were necessary to protect the hiking path and visitors from falling rocks in the lower part of the Gorges du Chauderon.

On September 26th, Geobrugg proudly marked a significant moment in its journey with the inauguration of a new production facility in India. This significant milestone was celebrated in the presence of esteemed guests from the fields of politics and business.

Major upgrades to Lusail International Circuit completed for QatarGP full track resurfaced along with facility upgrades Geobrugg debris fences installed circuit wide.
