To retain rocks up to 1000 kJ of energy, Geobrugg proposed the construction of an RXE-1000 rockfall barrier with the following characteristics.

•     Height:5 meters
•     Post spacing: 10 meters
•     Anchors to the mount: 4 meters long
•     Anchors in the plate, subjected to compression: 4 meters
•     Anchors in the plate, subjected to traction: 3 meters
•     Anchors edge: 5 meters
•     120 linear meters

Engineering and placement of the barriers were carried out by Swiss company Geotest.
