Rockfall protection barriers RXE
April 2025: Geobrugg has set a new benchmark in rockfall protection. Its RXE-12500 barrier withstood a 25-ton concrete block impacting at 115 km/h (71.46 mph), absorbing a record of over 12,500 kilojoules of energy. This world-first offers new possibilities in rockfall protection. Details
Our RXE-500 to RXE-12500 rockfall protection barriers excel in applications that present the risk of large blocks breaking loose and travelling with significant force and energy. The permitted energy absorption capacity is as high as 12,500 kJ, equating to a weight of 25 tons traveling at over 115 km/h (71.46 mph)—a world record in this sector. Because of its capacity for maximum energy absorption, the RXE has set the standard for low deflection levels.
Low deformation
Testing that replicates field conditions has confirmed that this solution offers the lowest deflection on the market. This makes it ideal for installing in close proximity to at-risk objects.
Pre-assembled
The posts are delivered to the construction site as modules with pre-installed bundles of netting for easy installation. This significantly reduces the installation time.
Highest standards worldwide
The only barriers that have been tested and approved according to EAD 340059-00-0106 (ETAG 027) and in vertical free fall. (The RXE-12500 is tested according to EAD EAD-340059-00-0106-2018, certification pending.)
Stainless steel u-brake
This component enables linear energy dissipation and is easily accessible for inspection and maintenance. Stainless steel makes the brake extremely durable even when subjected to strain.
