Over The Edge Technology For Rockfall Protection Solutions
The protection against rockfall is one of the most important aspects of challenge for construction and mining companies involved in infrastructure and road building projects. Several companies are these days using the latest and cutting edge technologies to mitigate the rockfall in order to save infrastructures and roads from being demolished.
Green construction and eco-friendly methods of mining and other structural based solutions have picked up fast trend by construction companies all over the world. Technological advancements and massive structural equipment have given immense power to man that even the harshest calamities of the nature can be controlled to a certain extent, making lives safer.
Amid other structural solutions, rockfall, avalanche and debris flow are some of the worst case scenarios that the engineers face.
The Rockfall protection and rockfall mitigation are two most vital security components for infrastructure networks.
There are cases where we have seen that a small intensity rockfall or avalanche can also disrupt communication and infrastructure network for long periods of time making lives of men miserable and leave materials destroyed.
Maccaferri’s long years of experience has made the company competent enough to offer a wide range of solutions that can help
stabilize rock faces and snow slopes,
hence reducing the overall risk to life, buildings and infrastructure.
Some of the most advanced techniques that Maccaferri implements in case of rockfall are:
Simple drapery system: Usually installed along rock slopes where the surface can break down into fragments not smaller than the opening of the double twisted mesh.
HEA Panel: Utilizes steel cable meshes for surface stabilization and consolidation
Rockfall Catch Fences with energy absorption capacities up to 5000kJ
Rockfall Protection Embankments with energy absorption capacities up to 20,000kJ
Steelgrid HR: Uses reinforced high tensile strength drapery meshes for surface stabilization
Debris flow barriers: Utilizes nets to barricade debris from entering unwanted places where habitation exists
CONCLUSION:
The latest design software from the company also helps assist designers and engineers during the process of selection of appropriate solutions required for drapery and surface stabilization. In order to counter back various emergency situations and problems that are connected with instability of rock faces, it has innovated a wide range of effective and innovative rockfall mitigation systems for specific requirements.
