Die Rennstrecke von Spa-Francorchamps wird regelmäßig von Fahrern aus aller Welt bejubelt und ist eine der legendären Strecken im Motorsport.

Seit 1985 regelmäßiger Austragungsort des Großen Preises von Belgien der Formel 1, verdient ihr legendärer Kurs mit etwas über 7 km – der längste der Weltmeisterschaft – gewiss den offiziellen Status als "schönste Rennstrecke der Welt".

Dieses Etikett, das nirgendwo in der Welt ernsthaft bestritten wird, verdankt der Rundkurs von Spa seinem hügeligen Profil, seinen schnellen Kurven, selbstverständlich seiner berühmten und einzigartigen Raidillon, aber auch einem natürlichen majestätischen Rahmen inmitten von Tannenwäldern, in denen der Motorenlärm widerhallt. Ein wahres Juwel, das laufend an die neuesten Sicherheitsnormen der FIA angepasst wird. Dieses belgische Denkmal ist ebenso weltbekannt wie das Atomium oder die Grand Place in Brüssel.

Presentation abstract:

Geobrugg’s impact protection field testing began in the 1970’s and has come a long way since. The evolution has been driven by the requirement to replicate real life impact events to understand the physics and proof the systems which protect our assets. Geobrugg are world leaders in impact protection and we have a strong belief that there is no substitute for 1:1 field testing. The presentation summarises the evolution of field testing and includes lots of interesting test videos from the 1970’s through to now.

Speaker bio:

Stu Mason (NZ Manager – Geobrugg) is an Engineering Geologist with over 10 years’ experience in passive and active rockfall mitigation. He started his professional career assisting with the initial 2011 Christchurch earthquake recovery. He then moved on to geotechnical roles in several Australian underground and open pit mines. In 2017 he joined the Geobrugg team and has since managed the Geohazards division in New Zealand. Since joining Geobrugg Stu has had significant exposure to the majority of New Zealand's rockfall protection systems, in particular the Kaikoura recovery with the highlight being the construction of the self-cleaning canopy.

Get up to speed with everything you need to know about the 2022 Dutch Grand Prix, which takes place at Zandvoort on Sunday, September 4.

"Really quick", "pretty insane", "crazy" and "old-school" were words used by the current crop of F1 drivers when asked to describe the Zandvoort track that many of them tackled in their junior category days. We’d also add "undulating" to that list. The Zandvoort track swoops and flows through the sand dunes, creating a rollercoaster-like feel to the lap. And while the circuit was modernised in time for F1’s most recent return including increasing the banking angle at the famous Tarzan corner to an Indianapolis Motor Speedway-trumping 18 degrees – Zandvoort remains a proper, challenging drivers’ track.

Get up to speed with everything you need to know about the 2022 Singapore Grand Prix, which takes place over 61 laps of the 5.063-kilometer Marina Bay Street Circuit on Sunday, October 2.

The Marina Bay Circuit is one of the most physically demanding on the calendar, its bumpy street surface coupled with humid conditions giving the drivers plenty to think about. With 23 corners, they are working the wheel a lot, too, around the high-speed lap – the physical stress causing them to lose as much as 3kg over the course of a race. The circuit also boasts some of the most unique track features on the F1 calendar, including Turn 18, which sees the drivers pass underneath a grandstand.

Visit the race track and benefit from a personal conversation with a Geobrugg Motorsport specialist on-site. Please directly contact the specialist through the contact form. We are looking forward to your visit.

The theme for GeoCalgary 2022 is Reflection on Resources. The prosperity of Canada is largely founded on the extraction, transformation and utilization of resources from several sources, such as agriculture, oil and gas, metals and minerals, hydropower and wind energy. These activities all require infrastructure, facilities, plants, dams or dykes; the design and construction of which necessitate solving great geotechnical challenges.

The conference intends to focus on past and recent geotechnical achievements, and the lessons that can be learned from them to improve current practices and build a better sustainable future.

We are looking forward to meeting you at our stand on site!

Expertenlehrgang – Betrieb, Inspektion und Unterhalt von flexiblen Sicherungsbauwerke gegen Naturgefahren 

Dieser 2 ½ tägige Expertenlehrgang soll die Teilnehmer in die Lage versetzen Bauwerke aus Sicht der Systementwickler und Hersteller zu beurteilen. Dazu ist ein Grundwissen über die Funktion der einzelnen Bauteile und wie sie als Gesamtsystem wirken nötig. Die Betrachtung der Bauteile wird über einen Zeitraum von ca. 50 Jahren gehen. Es können dadurch auch ältere, nicht getestete und «Fremdbauwerke» besser eingeschätzt werden, um deren Schutzfunktion, unter heutigen Gesichtspunkten, besser zu beurteilen.

Inhalte

Grundsätzlich geht es um Sicherungsbauwerke aus Litzendrahtseilen, Netzen und Geflechten, Stahlstützen, Grundplatten, Bremselementen und den dazugehörenden Kleinteilen, somit alle Bauteile die funktionsrelevant und zur Erfüllung der Schutzfunktion erforderlich, sind. Es handelt sich dabei um flexible Systeme zum Schutz vor Steinschlag, Murgang, Hangmuren und Lawinenverbauungen im Anrissgebiet. Die Beurteilung von flexiblen Böschungsstabilisierungssystemen mit Netzen und Geflechten in Kombination mit einer Bodenvernagelung, sowie Möglichkeiten der Begutachtung von flexiblen Sonderbauwerken gegen Schneerutsch, Baumschlag u.ä. wird ebenfalls vorgestellt.

Der Kurs bezieht ich jedoch nur auf den Oberbau, d.h. alle sichtbaren Bauteile. Die Einschätzungsmöglichkeiten der Verankerung, Vernagelung und der Fundamente soll auch diskutiert werden, um in der Lage zu sein, weitere Prüfungen in Erwägung zu ziehen.

Durch die Bemessung von Böschungsstabilisierungen kann ihre Zuverlässigkeit nachgewiesen werden. Langlebigkeit steht im Vordergrund: Die Wirtschaftlichkeit von Schutzmassnahmen hängt auch von deren Nutzungsdauer ab.

Neben dem überragenden Schutz vor Korrosion durch die Geobrugg Supercoating® Beschichtung steht auch das TECCO® G65/3 – Edelstahl für aggressive Umgebungen zur Verfügung und kann auch mit dem RUVOLUM® Online-Tool bemessen werden.

Wir laden Sie herzlich zu unseren RUVOLUM online Workshop am am 08. November 2022 ein. Nach einer detaillierten Einführung in unsere online Bemessungssoftware RUVOLUM® lösen Sie auf Ihrem Laptop selbständig Fallbeispiele und machen sich mit den Systemelementen vertraut. Unsere Fachleute freuen sich, die Neuerungen mit Ihnen zu vertiefen:

• TECCO®-Geflechte aus hochfestem Stahldraht: Geobrugg Supercoating® und Edelstahl
• Noch mehr Geflechte im RUVOLUM: Ein vielfältiges System für jede Böschung
• Optimierung des Nagelrasters: Durch angepasste Krallplatten
• Ergänzte Bemessungssoftware RUVOLUM®: Für Lockergestein und Fels
• Die Bemessungsrelevanten Grössen: Durchstanzwiderstand, Schwerwiderstand und Dehnung
• Zulassung der Systeme: Europäisches Technisches Bewertungsdokument (ETA)

Wir freuen uns auf Ihre Anmeldung bis 30. Oktober 2022.

Unwetter und Starkregenereignissen nehmen in unseren Breitengraden zu. Sie führen vermehrt zu Murgängen und Hangmuren. Nicht nur im Siedlungsgebiet können dadurch erhebliche Schäden an Gebäuden und Infrastruktur entstehen. Um Schutzmassnahmen sicher zu planen, ist das Prozessverständnis als Grundlagen für die Bemessung wichtig. 

In diesem Workshop werden die Ergebnisse aus mehr als 25 Jahren Forschung in den Bereichen Schutz vor Murgängen und Hangmuren vorgestellt. Nach einer detaillierten Einführung in die online Bemessungssoftware DEBFLOW und SHALLSLIDE, lösen Sie auf Ihrem Laptop selbständig Fallbeispiele und erfahren so, welchen Einfluss das Prozessverständnis hat. Neben der Bemessung stehen folgende Themen im Vordergrund:

 
•       Prozessverständnis: Grundlagen für die Bemessung

•       1:1 Feldversuche mit Murgängen und Hangmuren

•       Schutzmassnahmen: Entwicklung in Zusammenarbeit mit verschiedenen Forschungspartnern

•       Europäische Zulassungen: Die Europäische Technische Bewertung (ETA)

•       Multiple Belastungen: Nachweise für einen erweiterten Einsatzbereich

•       Referenzen und Anwendungsbeispiele

Wir freuen uns auf Ihre Anmeldung bis 30. Oktober 2022.

Geobrugg CONSIS - Exploitation, Inspection, Maintenance des ouvrages flexibles de protection contre les risques naturels

Cette formation de 2 ½ jours doit permettre aux participants d'évaluer les ouvrages du point de vue des concepteurs et des fabricants de systèmes. Pour cela, il est nécessaire d'avoir des connaissances de base sur la fonction des différents éléments de construction et sur la manière dont ils agissent en tant que système global. L'examen des éléments de construction s'étendra sur une période d'environ 50 ans. Il sera ainsi possible de mieux évaluer des ouvrages plus anciens, non testés et "étrangers", afin de mieux juger de leur fonction de protection, du point de vue actuel.

Contenu

Il s'agit en principe d'ouvrages de protection composés de câbles toronnés, de filets et de filet, de poteau en acier, de plaques de base, d'éléments de freinage et des petites pièces correspondantes, c'est-à-dire de tous les éléments de construction qui sont importants pour le fonctionnement et nécessaires pour remplir la fonction de protection. Il s'agit de systèmes flexibles de protection contre les chutes de pierres, les laves torrentielles, les coulées de boue de versant et les ouvrages paravalanches dans les zones de rupture. L'évaluation de systèmes flexibles de stabilisation de talus avec des filets et des filets en combinaison avec un clouage au sol, ainsi que les possibilités d'expertise d'ouvrages spéciaux flexibles contre les glissements de neige, les chutes d'arbres et autres sont également présentées.

Le cours ne porte toutefois que sur la superstructure, c'est-à-dire sur tous les éléments visibles. Les possibilités d'évaluation de l'ancrage, du clouage et des fondations doivent également être discutées afin d'être en mesure d'envisager d'autres examens.

Vos bénéfices

Geobrugg CONSIS - Operation, inspection and maintenance of flexible safety structures against natural hazards

This 2 ½ day technical course is designed to enable participants to assess structures from the perspective of system designers and manufacturers. This requires a basic knowledge of the function of the individual components and how they act together as part of an overall system. Systems and components will be inspected from 0 to 50 years old. This allows older, untested, “third-party” structures to be better assessed and evaluated for their protective function compared to modern safety standards.

Contents

We focus on flexible safety structures made of stranded wire ropes, nets and meshes, steel supports, base plates, braking elements and the associated small components. These are systems for protection against rockfall, debris flow and avalanches. The assessment of flexible slope stabilisation systems with nets and meshes in combination with soil nailing, as well as possibilities for assessing flexible special structures against snow slide, tree fall, etc., are also presented.
The course will focus primarily on the superstructure, i.e. all visible components of a flexible protective structure. The possibilities regarding anchoring, nailing and foundations will be discussed to be able to consider further testing requirements.

Your benefit

CONSIS lays the foundation for a better understanding of the components and protective function of the structures.

- You will get an overview of the function of the individual components and how they work as an overall system.

- You will be trained to check how the systems are installed correctly and according to the system manuals.

- You will learn to assess safety structures against natural hazards about their protective effect.

- You will be trained to assess older, untested safety structures and “third-party structures” and evaluate their protective function from today’s perspective.

- In operation, structures are often unobserved for long periods of time. You will get an insight into modern methods of obtaining information about the structure outside inspections.

- Different methods for inspection, in analogue and digital form, are presented.

Target group

- CONSIS is aimed at experts in the field of natural hazards, such as engineers and geologists, planners, builders, and contractors who work in the field of natural hazards and install such systems.

Participation requirements

- preferably, you have experience implementing flexible protection measures to protect against natural hazards.

- You have a basic understanding of the operation of flexible protection systems against natural hazards, such as rockfall, debris flow, and avalanches, and have experience with flexible slope stabilisation systems.

- You are confident in rough terrain. Training on PPEgA (Personal Protective Equipment against falls from a height) or working on a hanging rope - Level 1 or higher, is an advantage.

Completion

After successfully completing the course, a certificate is issued, which can be presented in certain countries as proof of qualification. The course and the certificate CONSIS are personal.

Speakers and method

Our employees and speakers are trained mechanical engineers, technicians, civil engineers and geologists. They have many years of experience in developing and assessing flexible protection measures, as well as advice on the maintenance of flexible protection structures.

Curso de formación - Operación, inspección y mantenimiento de estructuras flexibles de protección contra riesgos naturales 

Este curso de dos días y medio está diseñado para que los participantes puedan evaluar las estructuras de protección desde la perspectiva de los desarrolladores y fabricantes de sistemas. Esto requiere un conocimiento básico de la función de los componentes individuales y de cómo actúan como un sistema global. Se examinan los detalles de las estructuras de protección en los últimos 50 años. Esto también permitirá evaluar mejor las estructuras más antiguas, no ensayadas y "de terceros", para valorar mejor su función protectora desde el punto de vista actual.

Contenidos

Se trata, fundamentalmente, de estructuras de protección formadas por cables, redes mallas y postes de acero, placas base, elementos de frenado y pequeños accesorios; es decir, todos los componentes funcionalmente relevantes y necesarios para cumplir con la función de protección. Se trata de sistemas flexibles de protección contra la caída de rocas, los flujos de detritos, los deslizamientos superficiales de tierras y las barreras contra aludes situadas en la zona de generación del alud. También se analiza la evaluación de los sistemas flexibles de estabilización de taludes con redes y mallas en combinación con anclajes y bulones, así como las posibilidades de evaluación de las estructuras especiales flexibles contra los deslizamientos de nieve, las caídas de árboles, etc.

Sin embargo, el curso sólo cubre la superestructura, es decir, todos los componentes visibles. También se discutirán las posibilidades de evaluación del anclaje, el bulonado y la cimentación para poder considerar otros ensayos.
