Diana Falls

Opis zastosowanego rozwiazania

Geovert was awarded the contract to design and build a bespoke rockfall protection solution above the State Highway to actively control the frequent high energy rockfalls. The best solution for the site was the construction of a 5m high 3000 kJ and two 6 m high 5000 kJ Geobrugg attenuator barriers. The 3000 kJ system was installed over 250m above the highway, the first of the 5000 kJ system was installed 150 m up and the final and largest barrier was installed around 50 m above the road. The bottom rockfall attenuator was a massive structure with a 35 t high tensile steel ROCCO ring net drape to control and channel the falling rocks and debris to the roadside for the maintenance crew to clear.
