The webinar «Anchoring of flexible natural hazard protection systems» aims at planners and project owners of natural hazard protection systems as well as at contractors who are involved in decisions around the anchoring of protection systems.

Anchoring is a vital part of all flexible natural hazard protection systems. The anchor forces are well known, and their determination is regulated by the EAD for «falling rock protection kits» or by the EAD for «flexible kits for retaining debris flows and shallow landslides / open hill debris flows». Producers of rockfall barriers and other flexible structures can hence provide these forces to the designer. The decision of how to anchor those forces is, however, very dependent on the underground and is usually left to the designer or geotechnical engineer. Besides the anchor length also the choice of the anchor type and foundation type and dimension is important.

With this webinar, we want to give you an overview of how anchor forces are determined, of possible anchoring systems and a review of experience with different anchoring systems.

The webinar is aimed at designers and project owners who are involved in rock or soil slope stabilization.
Instable rock and soil slopes are often posing a hazard to infrastructure and people. Flexible facings with high tensile steel wire mesh have over the last twenty years become a standard solution for a green and cost-effective stabilization of slopes.

In this webinar, we explain important aspects of dimensioning and corrosion protection of flexible facings and show a variety of different reference projects from all around the world.

We look forward to welcoming you to this webinar and knowledge exchange.

This webinar is aimed at contracting authorities, operators of protection systems and designers who consult project owners.

For inspections of flexible protective structures against natural hazards, there are specifications on the one hand from manufacturers, on the other hand from standards and practical aids. Despite country-specific differences, the basic principles regarding responsibility and inspection intervals are similar in most countries.

However, these specifications pose challenges in terms of effort (costs) and feasibility in the various topographies, and there is often a lack of resources to implement them correctly. New integrated electronic monitoring solutions make it possible to make the inspection process more economical while complying with regulatory and supplier specifications.

The webinar describes existing specifications, how they are applied in practice, and how inspection management can be implemented in a resource-efficient manner using GUARD.

Der CO2-Fussabdruck von Unternehmen wird immer wichtiger. In diesem Webinar zeigen wir, was Geobrugg in diesem Bereich unternimmt: Zwei alternative Böschungsstabilisierungsverfahren werden in Hinblick auf ihren Beitrag zum Treibhauseffekt betrachtet.

Zu diesem Zweck vergleichen wir die klimaschutzrelevanten Emissionen, die bei den verwendeten Baumaterialien sowie während der Nutzung der Böschungsstabilisierungen entstehen.

Die angewandte Methode des «CO2 Footprint» folgt im Wesentlichen dem Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) nach ISO 14040:

• Festlegen der Ziele der Untersuchung und des Untersuchungsrahmens

• Sachbilanzierung beschränkt auf die klimarelevanten Emissionen

• Wirkungsabschätzung mit dem Bewertungsansatz des «Treibhauspotenzials»

Wir freuen uns auf Ihre Anmeldung und Teilnahme!

Um natürliche Böschungen und Neuanschnitte im Lockergestein erfolgreich und langfristig zu stabilisieren, ist die Begrünung von grosser Bedeutung.

Langzeiterfahrungen und Feldversuche haben gezeigt, dass eine effektive und funktionale Vegetationsschicht zu fördern oder herzustellen ist. Neu angeschnittene Lockergesteinsböschungen sind durch den Abtrag des Oberbodens arm an Nährstoffen. Deshalb fehlen wuchsfähige Wurzeln und natürliche Saatvorkommen.

Um die Begrünung von Lockergesteinsböschungen zu unterstützen, gibt es eine Vielzahl von Erosionsschutzmatten und Geotextilien. Diese werden je nach Ausgangsmaterial in synthetische Geotextilien, (z. B. aus Polypropylen) und natürliche Geotextilien (organische Stoffe wie Jute-, Kokosfasern und Holzwolle) unterteilt.

In diesem Webinar geben wir einen Überblick über die Standortfaktoren, die für eine erfolgreiche Begrünung in Betracht gezogen werden müssen. Wir zeigen Erfahrungen aus Feldversuchen und Referenzprojekten. Zusätzlich betrachten wir Erosionsschutzmatten in Kombination mit hochfesten Geflechten und geben einen Ausblick auf eine biologisch abbaubare Krallmatte als Erosionsschutz.

Wir freuen uns auf Ihre Registrierung und Teilnahme!
