Initial situation

In order to provide protection to a national road around Klokova Mountain, a rockfall protection system was installed.  Installation allowed the advance drilling, blasting, and construction of a twin bore tunnel system; while minimizing the impact to travel in the area.  National Road (EO5) is the only North-South connection to the mainland, therefore, it is of high importance for the local economy.

Description

Geobrugg took over the responsibility of Contractor for rockfall protection installation.  Other works included:  rock scalling, rock bolting and finally, the installation of a wide range of rockfall barriers, including the GBE and RXE.
