Rockfall prevention embankments are passive systems that are the perfect solution when it is not possible to construct surface stabilisation systems (for example, on very large slopes) or when it is impossible to intercept falling rocks because the entire slope is inaccessible. They are frequently utilised as defence against a variety of natural dangers, including landslides, rockfalls, avalanches, hydro-geologic issues, and more.
Today, reinforced soil is used to construct rockfall protection embankments, allowing builders to use locally accessible site-won materials. A vegetated embankment facing, one of the face finishes available, lessens the system’s visual and environmental impact.
Our rockfall embankments are made of reinforced soil, making them expandable to withstand large rockfall impacts (perhaps up to 20,000kJ) as well as to deflect any debris flows. Rockfall embankments, as opposed to rockfall catch fences, may withstand numerous impacts and rockfall events without the need for repair.
We designed our reinforced soil embankments with a 20,000kJ capacity using FEM analysis. Nearly limitless energy absorption capacities are possible given enough space.
