This video explains how rockfall barriers protect your property and save lives. Rockfalls can cause severe damage to homes, businesses, roads, bridges, and other structures. As a result, entire buildings collapse due to their weight.
They constitute a significant safety hazard for people in areas prone to avalanches or landslides. Considering the cost of repairing damage caused by falling rocks, it pays to invest in rockfall barriers. Their design can withstand the impact of large rocks and debris, protecting buildings and other structures from damage. For example, they help protect homes, buildings, and other structures from falling rocks and debris. The most common rockfall barriers are steel mesh or concrete blocks.
Galvanized or stainless steel has a high strength-to-weight ratio and will not rust or corrode over time. The mesh is installed in a crisscross pattern to provide maximum support for the weight of rockfalls. Concrete blocks are similar to those for retaining walls but are thicker and stronger than the ones for landscaping. In addition to preventing property damage, rockfall barriers also protect people from injury by providing a barrier between people and falling debris. People who work outdoors may be at risk if they have no protection against falling rocks.
