Rockfall Protection - Unterpinswang 2017

The RXE-500-LA rockfall barrier was installed above the buildings of the Tirolean Company Weisshaus-Shop

Rockfall Protection - Unterpinswang 2017

The buildings are on a main road. The embankment behind the buildings was stabilized and the rockfall barrier constructed above it.

Rockfall Protection - Unterpinswang 2017

Originally it was planned only to protect the car park. An RXE-500 barrier was constructed for this purpose.

Rockfall Protection - Unterpinswang 2017

The two barriers: in front the RXE-500-LA and behind the RXE-500 (less deflection due to the transmission ropes

Rockfall Protection - Unterpinswang 2017

The simply constructed and lightweight RXE-500-LA barrier in an area with a dense infrastructure.

Rockfall Protection - Unterpinswang 2017

The barrier runs along a hiking trail, which is why the upslope anchor rope is additionally protected (in yellow).

Rockfall Protection - Unterpinswang 2017

The barrier is clearly necessary: stopped rocks some weeks after the installation

Rockfall Protection - Unterpinswang 2017

The risk of rockfall above the buildings is obvious
