Initial situation
The road has been protected for years by rockfall barriers RXI-200. Due to the high snowfall in this region, the Geobrugg GUARDs were installed for test purposes. The aim was to confirm that the Geobrugg GUARD also measures the slowly increasing snow load.
Description
To guarantee constant monitoring, three Geobrugg GUARD devices were installed:
- With an acceleration sensor, larger rock impacts can be detected.
- The force measurement measures the slow filling of the fence. This enables measuring the snow load in the winter months.
- Furthermore, a corrosion sensor records the corrosion at this specific location, classifies it, and calculates the material service life.
