Initial situation

Regular rockfall menaced the village of Kroscienko. Boulders were falling on an access road adjacent to backyards and homes.

Description

In 2017, the Regional Directorate of State Forests in Krakow decided to secure the endangered area. As the stretch was rather long, they were convinced of the RXE-500-LA barriers with low anchoring forces and quick installation.
