Initial situation

The barrier was installed to protect a garbage collection center in the town of Hône, in the Aosta Valley.

Description

At the time of installation, the RXE-8000 barrier was state of the art in network protection with a European certification, capable of withstanding an impact of 8000 kilojoules. It is planned to lengthen the barrier for the protection of neighboring sports infrastructures.
The RXE-8000 is particularly impressive due to its function in the event of landslides.
