Rockfall Control

Rockfall is a natural result of weathering but poses risks to travelers, infrastructure, and nearby areas. GeoStabilization International reduces these hazards with on-slope systems like draped mesh and attenuators that allow rockfall while safely containing or redirecting it. A common solution uses high-tensile steel mesh draped over a slope’s crest to slow movement and trap debris. On very steep slopes, the mesh can extend from a rockfall barrier without a bottom rope, creating a hybrid attenuator system for added protection.

Rockfall Control Methods

  • Draped Mesh – Flexible, anchored mesh that contains falling rock and prevents it from reaching travel lanes or infrastructure.

  • Attenuator Systems – Hybrid barriers designed to absorb energy and slow rockfall in high-velocity, high-slope environments.

  • Rockfall Barriers & Fences – Durable steel or concrete systems that absorb impacts and divert falling rock away from high-risk areas.

Our engineers select the best solution based on slope analysis, rockfall trajectory, and energy modeling, then deploy purpose-built rock drills and installation equipment to complete the project efficiently.

Benefits of Rockfall Protection

  • Safety – Reduces hazards for travelers, workers, and infrastructure.

  • Cost Savings – Prevents expensive damage and reduces maintenance needs.

  • Efficiency – Allows safe travel on high-risk slopes without major road closures.

  • Custom Fit – Systems designed for each site’s terrain, geology, and risk profile.

Client Reviews

Rockfall Mitigation for Mining Operations in Canada

“The entire crew was a pleasure to work with; very hard working, pleasant and polite to everyone they worked with. Both Andrew and Mike were very professional as your onsite superintendent/GF. They were punctual every day, attended the safety huddle with the surface crew every day and took part in that. Between your crew and our surface crew, they lined up the work so that it went off without a problem.

I was impressed with Mike in regards to the rock slide. … After discussing with your engineers and management a plan was devised to bring down a piece that potentially could have been a hazard. Mike, along with 1-2 others, were down on that very large piece drilling the required holes. On the day of the blast, Mike worked with our team to ensure he had everything he needed for the blast. We had scheduled it for 1:00, he and the others were up in time to blast but he did not feel right about the tie in. … Without hesitation, he and the crew member (young Irish fellow) went back down and corrected the tie in. The blast went off without issues at 1:30. He most likely only had one shot at it, I am happy he took the time to correct….

I inspected today, great job. …. Boden is a great asset to your team as well. He is a pretty sharp guy, very keen, does great work.

 I would like to thank all of your crew, I think they all deserve kudos. They are all very hard working professionals who seem to really enjoy their work.”

Rockfall Mitigation in Virginia

I wish I had been smart enough to let you design the rock mitigation. You and your team turned in an excellent performance. The work ethic of your team impressed everyone on our side of the table. Most companies print a slogan on their company clothing. However, your folks demonstrated every hour that they “Work Hard or Go Home”. You sent us a world class construction team – thanks!

Richard, I wanted to take a quick minute and thank you and Courtney and the awesome crew that you sent here to take care of our huge rock. Courtney, John, and Andrew are some of the hardest working people I have had the privilege to be around. Their attention to safety professionalism, and never quit attitude was amazing to watch. Even when things did not go our way they were committed to finishing the job. I appreciate you sending these great guys to help us out and look forward to the opportunity to work with you again in the future.
