Rockfall Gallery
Precast reinforced concrete rockfall gallery
The rockfall galleries proposed by Rockfall Defence are made by precast reinforced concrete structures composed by three different elements (post, strut and coverage) connected and integrated with steel elements. The system is designed to dissipate impacts with energy ranging from 2500 kJ to 5000 kJ and includes a set of standard and easy to install components.

Passive rockfall protection systems - rockfal barriers
Rockfall Barriers ETAG 027
The rockfall barriers, as outlined by the EOTA – ETAG 027 guidelines, are made of one or more identical functional modules placed sequentially, allowing the rockfall barrier to adapt to the necessary length for protection of people and/or infrastructures below. The assembled systems are classified according to the level of kinetic energy which the rockfall barrier is able to absorb, considering both the Service Energy Level (SEL) and the Maximum Energy Level (MEL). 3
Slope stabilization with steel wire mesh - netting
HPN System
Steel Wire Meshes are often used while working to contain loose blocks and stabilize sliding soil. Spread in single rolls which adhere to the ground, the mesh helps prevent break-offs, containing rocky material.
Rockfall Defence offers companies and technicians the HPN Slope Stabilization System composed of high-performance steel wire mesh, various types of anchor plates and nails. The HPN system covers the following functions: slope stabilization, protection against breaking out, rockfall protection, erosion protection.
The HPN system is a high-grade stabilization system designed for stabilizing and securing steep slopes which require both higher level of erosion prevention and easy setup/adaptation to variable geomorphological condition.
The steel wire mesh, associated with proper anchors plates and nails, is available in two different configurations: HPN soil, suited for loose terrains; and HPN rock, suited for fractured solid rocks.
The slope stabilization system consists of:
- High-performance steel wire mesh (150kN/m vertical x 150kN/m horizontal)
- Steel anchor plates
- Steel anchor nails (bars)
- Ropes for connecting the panels
- Dimensioning specially designed for the HPN system
