Dynamic Rockfall Barriers

2. FUNCTIONS AND STRUCTURE

Vinh Hung JSC can supply a wide range of Maccaferri’s Rockfall Barriers designed to to arrest/catch falling rocks and boulders to avoid or mitigate the damages to infrastructure, other developments and dead accidents. Rockfall Barrier is composed of a complex system including the steel cables connected to the structural components, energy absorption devices and anchors, which is able to withstand big deformations and designed to be easy in shipment and installation in harsh conditions.

We can supply all the solutions for rockfall problems including debris flow barriers, dynamic rockfall barriers and hybrid and attenuator barriers. Especially, the dynamic rockfall barriers are designed to have the allowed sagging deformation under any load and be available with energy absorption capacity from 250kJ up to 8,500kJ.

3. INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

The fully-installed rockfall barriers will include anchor posts, footing plates, panel mesh, brakes, cables, clips and soil anchors (for typical soil surface). Under limited space conditions, the system can be suitable and easily installed by experienced contractors who are good at drilling. The works on the rock surface will be conducted through hanging cables. The maintenance works for the barriers after they are impacted are very simple, which includes the removal of intercepted rock debris or tree branches, replacement of brakes and tests on the working performance of other items. Maccaferri have carried out full-scale tests on rockfall barriers in accordance to very strict international standards and the results have proved that the rockfall barriers can be applied to perfectly protect most of road infrastructures, railroads, buildings, mine haul-roads where the hazards of rockfall and occurrence of rockfall are available.
