Rockfall Protection - Piwniczna-Zdrój: National Road DK87 2016

The National Road DK87 near Piwniczna-Zdrój is protected with Geobrugg's rockall barriers - this road along the Polish-Slovakian border is facing a lot of touristic traffic

The National Road DK87 during renovation works - the dense forest makes it difficult to assess the possible risk

During the DK87 renovation works many rockfalls were spotted and it was decided to install rockfall barriers

The GBE-500A is the most cost effective rockfall barrier in its class - also due to its unique simplicity

Year of installation

Initial situation

Along the Polish-Slovakian border a new border crossing (new bridge above Poprad river) was built. That also caused a need of a National Road DK87 renovation. During construction works it was decided to install also a rockfall protection.  

Description

Four barrier lines were designed. The very fast installation took place in September 2016.
