Uncontrolled rockfall can cause extensive damage and dangerous disruptions. Implementing the right system not only protects infrastructure but also maintains environmental stability and provides peace of mind for communities in high-risk areas.
Rockfall Barriers – Steel cable and post systems designed to intercept and contain falling rocks.
Attenuators – Flexible barriers that absorb and dissipate impact energy, reducing rock velocity and damage potential.
Scaling – Controlled removal of loose or unstable rock using specialized equipment to prevent future falls.
Draped Mesh Systems – Flexible mesh anchored to the slope to contain and direct rockfall.
Every project begins with a comprehensive hazard assessment, using tools such as ground-penetrating radar, laser scanning, and drone mapping to create 3D slope models. This data allows us to select and design mitigation measures tailored to each site’s geological, structural, and environmental conditions.
Attenuators are a type of barrier designed to deform upon impact, converting kinetic energy into strain energy to slow and redirect falling debris. They’re ideal for steep or inaccessible slopes where traditional barriers are less effective. Regular maintenance ensures continued performance and safety.
From initial assessment to installation and ongoing support, GSI delivers rockfall mitigation systems that are engineered for safety, durability, and environmental stewardship.
