Debris flow barriers: Two types of systems to meet all cases: VX Barriers and UX Barriers

Depending on the nature of the drainage channel and the project, we execute debris flow barriers according to two different system types. With both, the basal opening permits an unhindered flow of water in the normal case. If the barriers are overtopped after an event, the wing shaped arrangement of the top support ropes guarantees a clearly defined outflow section.

VX barrier: For narrower V-cuttings
With smaller mountain torrents we anchor the debris flow barriers in the channel flanks without posts with spiral rope anchors or self-drilling anchors with flexible anchor heads. This type of structure is suitable for a span width of up to approx. 15 m.

UX barrier: For wider, U-shaped channels
This debris flow barrier is preferably supported by two posts in the river bed. It is suitable for span widths of up to approx. 25 m.

Wide range of applications:

Individual barrier for retaining minor debris flows
Multilevel debris flow barrier for retaining larger debris flows
Debris flow breakers for braking the debris flow front
Protection against the blocking of passages
Drain-off element of a rubble collector
Diversion structure for correcting the channel course
Protection against scouring and erosion
Protecting the channel flanks against erosion
