Rock barriers are an effective and permanent solution method to ensure the safety and security against rock and stone fall in urban areas, highways, railways, mining areas and industrial structures, on wide and high slopes or where temporary measures are not possible.

Rock retaining barrier applications are positioned on the slope or slope surface, in the transition zone and impact zone areas following the rupture zone, considering the fall speed, jump height and path of potential rocks. Rock barriers have an energy absorption capacity from 250kj to 10,000kj. Rock barriers consisting of various structural elements must comply with EOTA and ETAG 027 standards.

It is one of the surfacing methods applied worldwide to prevent small and medium-sized rock falls on slopes. The type and thickness of the nets used vary according to the physical properties of the land. Steel grid nets are used to provide protection in areas such as highways, railways, dams and tunnels. They are generally 6*8 or 8*10 mesh openings with a thickness of 2.7 to 3 mm galvanized coated corrosion-resistant nets that provide long-lasting protection.

During application, steel wire meshes are supported to the surface with anchors and can also be reinforced with steel ropes in line with project requirements. Deformations that may occur over time in surface coating systems with steel wire mesh can be easily repaired by our expert teams.

If there is an area that is larger than the rock fragments, high-capacity ring mesh is used after using low-capacity mesh in these areas. As a result, the intended use of both wires is the same. Steel Wire Nets are frequently preferred in situations where falling rock debris can be retained. Steel grid nets, which are produced as protectors on slope or slope profiles, ensure that the broken rubble or rock fragments fall from behind the net in a safe and controlled manner. Falling rubble or rock fragments come to the heel of the slope and any loss of life or property is prevented.

Rubble barriers are a type of barrier that helps to absorb the pressure of landslides, supported by high-strength steel nets and energy dissipating braking systems installed in the floodplain to protect against debris flows from the river bed and to capture granular materials such as silt, rock, tree trunks and other sliding materials.

Thanks to this application, materials such as rocks, trees and soil are captured and flood risk is reduced by narrowing the main stream bed cross-sections and preventing the blockage of art structures. Rubble barriers can be revised to meet the requirements of each project. Barriers can be installed as several boundary lines on the same slope to contain large masses of material from landslides. The barriers are sized to absorb the high impacts of mudslides and debris flows.
