RXI rockfall protection barriers and rockfall meshes 250 – 5000 kJ with BAFU approval

RXI rockfall protection barriers and rockfall meshes stop rocks which even overwhelm concrete galleries
We supply our RXI rockfall protection barriers and catch fences approved according to the guidelines of the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment (BAFU) for absorption capacities of 250 kJ (low energy), 500 kJ, 1000 kJ, 1500 kJ and 2000 kJ also for 3000 kJ and 5000 kJ (high energy). They are characterized by large residual heights in the impact field, no deflection with maximum event and the ability to maintain functional serviceability with combined stresses such as multiple hits, tree falls and snowslides.

ROCCO^®ring net and RUNTOP^®running rope as central elements
In the case of an event the energy is first dissipated through the plastic deformation of the ring bundle. This reduces the stress on the anchors. RUNTOP^® running ropes allow the ring net which is fixed to shackles to slide in a matter of split seconds to the place they are most needed (curtain effect).

The components

• Ground plates with linked post fixing
• Spiral rope anchors or self-drilling anchors with Geobrugg FLEX head
• Supporting and retaining ropes, guided by brake rings
