The city of Fribourg secures various roads that lie below rock faces with rockfall protection barriers. To monitor the condition of these barriers, it is installing 16 GUARD monitoring devices. With the new safety concept, the city can specifically and effectively protect the routes that are well used by local recreationists.

Ancora una volta, il nostro GUARD è sotto i riflettori per aver vinto la categoria "Digital Innovation" al Ground Engineering Awards 2022 di Londra.

Il cantone dei Grigioni dispone ora di 31 dispositivi di GUARD.

Deepening a mine shaft is dangerous. Continuous operation of the shaft during deepening is required. Therefore, installing an artificial shaft bottom was necessary for impact protection at this mine (Przedsiębiorstwo Budowy Szybów S.A., Poland.

Il cantone dei Grigioni dispone ora di 31 dispositivi di GUARD.

CONSIS consente a tecnici, progettisti e a imprenditori nel settore della protezione contro i rischi naturali di valutare le strutture di sicurezza flessibili dal punto di vista degli sviluppatori e produttori di sistemi.

Le nostre barriere paradetriti hanno dimostrato ancora una volta la loro molteplice funzione. Questo sistema per gli sport motoristici viene utilizzato sempre più spesso anche sulle strade.

Il Cajón del Maipo è una delle attrazioni più popolari della capitale Santiago del Cile. Offre splendidi paesaggi amati dai numerosi turisti che lo visitano quotidianamente. Tuttavia, questo luogo è soggetto a frequenti cadute di massi.

La strada provinciale di Tremosine-Tignale è percorsa da migliaia di persone in bicicletta, a piedi o in auto per gli splendidi panorami sul Lago di Garda. Purtroppo questo percorso è caratterizzato da alte pareti rocciose adiacenti alla strada, interessate da fratture causate dal gelo e dall'acqua piovana. 

Il tratto Andermatt - Göschenen della ferrovia Matterhorn Gotthard viene attraversato fino a 56 volte al giorno. Nella zona del portale della galleria, sotto il Teufelswand, l'infrastruttura ferroviaria e i treni in transito sono ad alto rischio per quanto riguarda la caduta massi.

The Miami International Autodrome will test Formula One driver skills to the limit, as the circuit prepares to host its first-ever Grand Prix this weekend at the Hard Rock NFL stadium. 11’526 meters of Geobrugg Motorsport Debris Fences will protect the track.

From March 29 to April 1, 2022, Geobrugg conducted its second expert course (CONSIS) to impart knowledge about flexible barriers and their function and maintenance.

The first Rocco 1000 barrier was installed in France.

Geobrugg fences have been successfully tested for snapback events.

New technology enables wider spacing between fence posts to give greater safety for drivers, better viewing for spectators and increased sustainability for circuits.

Le stazioni di ricarica elettronica di Geobrugg sono pronte all'uso, funzionano con le wallbox integrate di BRUGG eConnect.

In mid-2021, we carried out certification tests for a new rockfall protection barrier. After two obligatory and successfully held tests (service energy level 1 +2), the program is complete - all the standards required here. But the tested barrier still looked too good. The engineers wondered: How many times can we drop the test block into the barrier before giving up? More in the video.

The practical guide for debris flow and hillslope debris flow protection nets is now available in English, published by Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL.

Geobrugg Motorsport and the Dynamic Test Center (DTC) team, have been recently awarded the 2020 SAE International John Melvin Motorsport Safety Award. Sponsored by NASCAR in honor of Dr. John Melvin, a pioneer in driver safety, this award recognizes those who bring about significant positive change and elevate safety levels in the world of motorsports.

Geobrugg continues to expand its commercial activities in Latin America and creates Geobrugg Andina Peru. Rolando Romero becomes the new General Manager, who has been with Geobrugg in Peru for the last 7 years.

We've posted on it before: Protection works around Kaikoura / New Zealand. Besides the self-cleaning rockfallcanopy a whole range of Geobrugg systems has been installed.

Against the erosion of the island's coastline, the design office recommended DELTAX STAINLESS mesh. The stainless steel wire is a high-performance solution, very discreet and suitable for wet and saline environments while respecting the integrity of the coastline.

The village of Gallivaggio in northern Italy was hit by a massive rockfall in 2018. Without safety measures, the village would remain largely uninhabitable. As a result 90.000 sqm of Geobrugg rockfall drapes got installed in only a few kamov helicopter rotations on a rockslope to protect the village.

And the winner is... the GeobruggGUARD! We received the LEADER Digital Award 2021 in the category "business" for the development of our RemoteMonitoring device: The GUARD makes structures for the protection against NaturalHazards smart in a few minutes and enables permanent digital status monitoring of these facilities. Above all, this is a win for more safety and economies in the maintenance of such structures!
