Overview before protection measures were implemented

Slope Stability - Tunnel de Revenez 2016

High tensile SPIDER® S3-130 net was unrolled on the slope before drilling works began. Thus during the top-down drilling the safety of the construction crew was ensured

Slope Stability - Tunnel de Revenez 2016

To provide optimal blocks stabilization and SPIDER® S3-130 net pre-tensioning, GEWI 32 nails were installed in the dells - where possible

At the crest above the stabilized slope, an extra RXE-500 rockfall barrier line was installed to provide extra protection against rockfalls from upper areas
