Rockfall protection barriers and nets

The hydrogeological risk in Italy is extensively widespread and varies according to the geomorphological conformation of the territory. Among the natural factors which expose our territory to landslides and floods is the geological and geomorphological conformation, characterized by a recent orography and raising mountains.


Paying particular attention to the instability phenomena of the mountainsides and specifically to the landslide phenomena from rock walls, we can affirm that these phenomena are widespread in all the mountain regions and along the sea cliffs. Depending on the high speed at which they occur they can be a constant source of danger for the lives, the properties and the human activities in some areas, which are highly active in terms of tourism and great communication routes.

The rockfall protection barriers with rockfall protection nets in adherence and rock wall consolidations are among the most used protection measures.

The rockfall protection nets

The nets are mainly used to lead the small rocks towards the foot of the slope and to prevent them from collapsing on the transit routes. In this context they play a passive role; on the contrary when the metal net is tight and firmly anchored to the mountainside in several points it helps avoids any further landslide; in this context it plays an active role. In this case we talk about consolidation of the rocky walls.



The rockfall protection barriers

As concerns the rockfall barriers two main structures can be distinguished on the basis of their physical behavior, the materials and the construction methods: rigid or flexible rockfall protection barriers. The former are hardly flexible heavy of great size and they are able to strongly withstand the impacts; the second, however, are flexible light structures made of durable high quality materials. The lightness of the structure, its ease and rapidity of installation and maintenance allow realizing the work also in mountain areas which are particularly difficult to reach.
