Geobrugg supporting structures of steel-wire nets have proved their suitability wherever aesthetic considerations, a low transport weight and protection from avalanches are of decisive importance, for example in regions with intensive tourist activities. And this since 1951, even in most difficult terrain. These nets are approved for snow thicknesses from Dk 2.0 to 4.5 m. The low weight permits helicopter flights with units of up to twelve meters installation length. Ask for the detailed technical documentation on our system which has gained the approvals of the Swiss Federal Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF and of the CEMAGREF, France.

Outside the snow season Geobrugg prevention structures often function as protection against rockfall.
