Rockfall mitigation using flexible structures: "Ring Net Rockfall Protection Fence (RX Type)"

During rockfall, a flexible structure rockfall protection fence method that allows for the absorption and dispersion of high energy, with maintenance and management being simple through just component replacement / applicable to railway and sediment control fields.

This is a rockfall protection fence construction method that enables the absorption of high energy up to 3,000 kJ, using a special wire mesh woven in a ring shape (ring net), shock-absorbing components (brake rings) incorporated into the support ropes that suspend the ring net, and wire rope anchors connecting from the top of the support to the ground. 【Applications】 ● Protection for roads, railways, residential areas, public facilities, etc. 【Features】 ● You can choose from six types (RX-025, 075, 100, 150, 200, 300) according to the target energy. ● It is a highly reliable construction method that has obtained construction technology review certification. ● It uses lightweight fence components and has fewer constraints related to the terrain and geological conditions at the installation site, allowing for installation on steep slopes without changing the slope shape. ● It minimizes the amount of tree cutting, and since there is no excavation or concrete pouring on the slope, it reduces the impact on the natural environment and harmonizes with the environment. ● The components that undergo plastic deformation have established replacement criteria, allowing for appropriate maintenance and management after rockfall capture.
