Flexible rings barriers: for retention of debris flows

Picture of Flexible rings barriers
Flexible barriers with ring network resistant high static and dynamic loads. They have been tested in full-scale trials and in real conditions, having thus shown their effective functional capacity. They can be installed with small amounts of material and labor, which means a saving of costs and installation time. Emptying is easy.

Advantages:-very considerable reduction in construction time. cost savings of 30 to 50% in comparison with the works of concrete - solutions integrated in the landscape, with minimal visual impact.

-Tested by field tests by the Federal Research Institute for forest, snow and environment (WSL).Components:-thanks to its Elastoplastic behavior, ROCCO ® rings are able to absorb energy, resulting in lower stresses in anclajes.tico, networks of ROCCO ® rings are capable of absorbing energy, resulting in lower stress in the anchors.

-In larger events are activated braking and this rings form reduces the energy that must absorb the network, without damaging the wires.

-Abrasion protection: in order to protect the upper wires against the abrasive effect of the rubble and gravel, clot them with angular steel with thick wing profiles.

-Spiral cable or self-drilling bolts with Geobrugg Flex head anchors.

-Support of the HEB type.
