  60 years of service improving protection against natural hazards  
60 years of service improving protection against natural hazards

In 1951, innovative engineers from Kabelwerke BRUGG AG laid the foundations for improved protection against natural hazards with the installation of the first avalanche prevention structure made from rope nets on the Schafberg mountain near Pontresina. Ever since, our engineers have worked to significantly improve protection against natural hazards step by step with innovations, countless field tests and simulation models.

  Protection against debris flow events: multi-level debris flow barrier in the eastern Pyrenees filled and overtopped  
Protection against debris flow events: multi-level debris flow barrier in the eastern Pyrenees filled and overtopped

After heavy rainfall on July 22 and August 12, 2010, two debris flow events in the Portainé channel filled and overtopped a multi-level debris flow barrier system consisting of nine debris flow barriers installed in series. The events discharged around 25,000 cubic meters of sediment. The barriers, which had been dimensioned using our DEBFLOW software, succeeded in withstanding the hydrostatic pressure and held back a large volume of sediment, thus preventing damage to the infrastructure in the nearby ski resort.

  Protecting road at risk of rockfalls and avalanches: slope stabilization on the B 462 between Weisenbach and Langenbrand, Germany  
Protecting road at risk of rockfalls and avalanches: slope stabilization on the B 462 between Weisenbach and Langenbrand, Germany

Above the section of the B 462 road linking Weisenbach and Langenbrand, a 15-meter high slope with an incline of around 80 degrees was known to be at risk of rockfalls and avalanches. A rockfall broke through the conventional rockfall protection net. A new protective measure was chosen in the form of a TECCO® slope stabilization system. Horizontal and vertical ropes ensure that the whole of the unstable slope is kept under tension.

  Protection against rockfall: an emergency measure on the Tempi valley highway between Athens and Salonica, Greece  

Protection against rockfall: an emergency measure on the Tempi valley highway between Athens and Salonica, Greece

After two rockfall events in quick succession in December 2009, the highway through the Tempi Valley, which carries 20,000 vehicles each day, had to be closed to all traffic. The emergency measures required to secure the road, were initiated in January 2010, with the aim being to reopen the road on April 1, 2010 for two weeks for the Easter traffic. After Easter the construction work continued and the road was reopened to traffic once again in May 2010, ahead of schedule.

  Protection against avalanches: SPIDER® AVALANCHE, an enhanced version of the well-known snow net barrier, can be quickly installed and is barely visible  

Protection against avalanches: SPIDER® AVALANCHE, an enhanced version of the well-known snow net barrier, can be quickly installed and is barely visible

In the Val Formazza valley near San Michele in Italy, 384 meters of snow net barriers were fully installed in just 54 days. After the foundations had been put in place, the preinstalled snow net sections were flown in by helicopter and fully fitted in just seven days, at a rate of 55 meters a day.
