What are rockfall barriers?

Essential components of geohazard mitigation systems designed to protect infrastructure and personnel from the potential dangers of rockfall incidents in challenging terrains. These barriers are specifically designed to absorb and contain falling rocks, minimizing the risk of damage to structures and ensuring the safety of individuals in the vicinity.

What are the different types of rockfall barriers?

At Access Limited, we specialize in two key types of rockfall barriers:

Flexible barriers

Designed to be adaptable and flexible in order to absorb and contain falling rocks. These barriers are particularly well-suited for challenging terrains and dynamic environments.

Catch fences

Rigid structures that are designed to catch and stop falling rocks. They typically consist of a series of steel wires or cables that are anchored into the ground and supported by posts.

Barriers are essential for protecting infrastructure such as buildings, bridges, and highways from potential rockfall incidents. By providing a secure shield against falling rocks, these barriers minimize the risk of damage and ensure the safety of the surrounding area.

In mountainous regions, rockfall is a common hazard that poses a significant threat to road users. Barriers are installed along mountain roads to mitigate the risk of rocks rolling onto the roadway, thereby enhancing safety for drivers and passengers.

Unstable slopes and cliffs are prone to rockfall events, which can endanger nearby structures and individuals. Barriers are utilized to stabilize slopes and prevent rocks from dislodging and causing potential harm.

Construction sites often involve excavation and earthmoving activities, which can destabilize slopes and increase the likelihood of rockfall incidents. Barriers are employed to protect workers, equipment, and nearby structures from falling rocks during construction operations.

What materials are used in rockfall barriers?

These barriers are constructed using a combination of materials that are carefully chosen for their strength, durability, and ability to absorb and contain falling rocks. The specific materials used may vary depending on the type of barrier and the specific requirements of the project. Here are some common materials used:
