Initial situation

The Ten West Link project is a new power project from Southern Arizona & California. The project goes across the Eagletail Mountains & Wildreness, where transmission line towers will be built.

Description

Geobrugg was tasked with providing ten GBE-100A-R rockfall barriers to protect ten transmission line towers that will be built. The barriers are three meters high with a total length of 230 meters.

These barriers will protect personnel, roadway and future transmission lines. This particular transmission line will span 125 miles connecting Arizona and California, improving transmission system efficiency and reliability.
