Situação inicial

The access road DC101 to the Merag ferry port on the island of Cres was exposed to frequent rockfall risk due to steep, weathered karst slopes above a heavily trafficked road. During peak summer periods, even small rockfall events posed serious danger to people, vehicles, and uninterrupted ferry operations. Traditional protection measures were insufficient for high-energy and complex impact scenarios, including simultaneous and eccentric block impacts. The installation of active slope stabilization with TECCO G45/2 mesh, combined with GBE-2000A and the ROCCO-2000 barrier, addressed both rock detachment and extreme impact conditions. This integrated solution transformed a high-risk bottleneck into a resilient and safe access route to critical island infrastructure.

Descrição

Raised safety level on the access road to the Merag ferry terminal
The project focused on protecting the road DC101 from potential rockfalls and slope instabilities.

Installed solutions are:

  • GBE-2000A rockfall barrier (H = 5 m, L = 80 m)
  • TECCO G45/2 high-tensile steel mesh (11,115 m²) for active slope stabilization, slope height 5-15 m, inclination 60-75°, Limestone and Dolomite,

    and as a remarkable milestone of this project is the first installation in the Balkans of a
  • ROCCO-type barrier (ROCCO-2000), with a height of 5 m and a length of 12 m (one-field barrier)
