The FSB can be attached to existing structures or driven piles. High-tensile SATURN nets from Geobrugg are fixed to the piles, without resorting to a wear-intensive floating construction. The protection system can span widths of up to 60m, sustain large tidal differences and be resistant to wind, currents and corrosion (seawater). Such fixed security barriers are currently in use in some of the toughest maritime environments in the world, such as the Persian Gulf.
Key benefits of Geobrugg Waterside protection barriers include:
- Proven capability to stop high speed boats (realistic full-scale test)
- Over or under passing of attacking boats is not possible
- Low maintenance, high durability and easy inspection
- Good security visibility (no hiding behind barrier)
- UV, fire, blast and gunshot resistance
- Designed to specific needs and local conditions
