GBE-5000 rockfall barrier

Description

For a residential area and its access roads a rockfall protection was required. The installed GBE-5000A rockfall barrier for impact energies of 5’000 kJ is protecting the following sectors from rockfall: Tête de chien, Mont de la Bataille, Culassa, Petite Afrique et Savaric. In addition to the other advantages the Geobrugg GBE-5000A was selected by the client because the barrier is approved in accordance with the guidelines of the European Organisation for Technical Approvals ETAG 027 and carries the CE conformity marking. To keep this rockfall protection as unobtrusive as possible the posts were painted in green.
