Brugg Kabel AG, one of the 5 divisions of the BRUGG Group to date, has been incorporated into the Italian Terna Group as of 1 March 2020. BRUGG GROUP media release

The creation of Zandvoort's unique banking has been a joint effort between circuit design and safety companies across the world.

Geobrugg's TECCO® system has once again received approval from the German Federal Railway Authority. The system fulfills the rigorous requirements since 2009 and is allowed to be used for slope stabilization on the federal railways. Approval in German (28 pages)

112 meters of a flexible ring net barrier with a capacity of over 10,000 kJ! Installed in Mölltal, Austria, protecting a residential area and the main traffic route. See a videoclip of the prehistory and the installation itself here.

Representatives of Geobrugg took part in the forum Infrastructure Initiatives Of Business organized by the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs and held on November 29, 2019 in Moscow. Check where to meet teams from Geobrugg all over the world.

This rockfall occurred on October 17, at the Brünigpass (Switzerland). The most massive blocks were estimated at 3.5 cubic meters. No people were injured. The barriers - their height is six meters - will be repaired in November.

Detailed information on the project

October 22, 2019: A four-ton block had come loose above the village of Valwig at the River Moselle. Fortunately, the rock was stopped by a catch fence. This rockfall barrier model GBE-1000A was built in 2013. With some minor repairs, it will remain fully functional.

At the State Road 99, near Campogrosso (Veneto, Northern Italy): Blocks detached from the rock face were caught by a GBE-1000A rockfall barrier. The barrier had been installed after numerous rockfall impacts in spring 2019.

Geobrugg, let it rock!  More natural and, therefore, more complex than ever. 

Swiss companies Geobrugg and Geoprevent proudly announce their strategic partnership. Geobrugg's high-tensile steel wire protection solutions and Geoprevent's alarm and monitoring systems are ideally matched in the field of natural hazards such as rockfall, landslides, or avalanches. From Geoprevent’s broad portfolio, Geobrugg will focus on the marketing of monitoring solutions with remote sensing.

This report by Rai, one major Italian TV station, shows from minute 2:30 how Geobrugg tests rockfall barriers. It explains in a exemplary way why our high-tensile nets are so important for natural hazards mitigation and how the installation of rockfall barriers (mostly Tecco® slope stabilization) in Italy is being carried out. For those who don't speak Italian - the pictures are self-explanatory: video.

Tyrol/Austria, July 10th: Geobrugg carries out the final acceptance at 9 a.m. Five hours later: A 7.5-ton rock comes down towards a hiking trail and a country road. And is easily stopped by the RXE-500-LA barrier. This system provides easy installation, low anchor forces; and absolute reliability.

In 2019 SWISS INOX, an association which promotes the use of stainless steel awards the PRIX INOX to Geobrugg and its research partner WITg for their high-tensile stainless steel chainlink mesh. Especially the innovative range of applications, from slope protection against natural hazards to protective nets for fish farming, convinced the jury.

Flexible debris flow nets were developed within a three-year Ph.D. thesis by Wendeler in 2008. Since then, they have been used all over the world for debris flow protection or slope/riverbed stabilization. Some have already been filled a couple of times. Today, we present the first research on a serviceability method for scour and erosion issues on flexible debris flow nets. Design and calculation will be more economically and safely, maintenance costs will be minimized and a longer lifetime of the entire barrier system, including anchors as the most cost-intensive parts, can be provided. Impressions of the small field tests.

One year later after historical rains that caused landslide damage to roadways and flooded homes, the Kuhio Highway will soon be open again.

Quiconque souhaite savoir quel rôle joue la protection contre les risques naturels dans les mines devrait visiter virtuellement la mine de Kanmantoo en Australie dans cette vidéo ou dans le rapport du projet.
