Geobrugg Ibérica, S.A.U. - Miscellaneous construction and public works equipment

Thanks to his good behavior of elasto-plastic, barriers against rockfall-based mesh of steel rings can protect slopes and paths of access against small avalanches. In a joint project between SLF / alpS / mountain Fieberbrunn / Geobrugg documented these findings for winter 2003-2005 seasons. The decisive factors to achieve effective protection are the likely thickness of snow, the mass of snow expected, the height of the barrier and the relative position of the object that is to be protected.
