Geobrugg
Barriers consist of the following product groups

• Low energy barrier for absorbing energies between 100 kJ and
  250 kJ

• RXI barrier systems for absorbing energies between 500 kJ
  and 2000 kJ
• High energy barrier system for absorbing energy of 5000 kJ
  

Dynamic rockfall barriers – certified energy absorption up to 3000 kJ –
have proven their worth as reliable protection from rockfall events and as
the most economical solutions. However, in situations where

The TECCO® system stabilizes steep slopes: After cleaning, trimming and leveling, the surface is covered by a steel-wire mesh which is tensioned at a defined additional torque force via previously drilled soil or rock nails and spike plates. Put briefly: The mesh fits to the topography and in this way prevents not only slides but also rocks from breaking out.

Flexible ring net barriers are tried and true at arresting rockfall up to 5,000 kJ all over the world and in many rockfall events. The same ring net barrier systems can be employed just as successfully as torrent and debris flow barriers.

Different torrent and debris flow barriers are constructed depending on the torrent properties and conditions and on project parameters:

Avalanche protective structures made of wire rope nets are a Geobrugg development and have stood the test since 1951 in various countries in andoutside of Europe. These avalanche protective structures manufactured from rope nets and steel wire mesh, anchored to posts in the earth and at right angles to
the slope, create a protective surface reaching up to the surface of the snow.
