MAXIMUM ROCKFALL PROTECTION
Ring Net Drapery is the simplest and most effective solution for rockfall protection. The primary function of the system is to control the trajectory of falling rocks within the corridor between the slope surface and the net. This process significantly reduces the kinetic energy of the falling blocks. Please note that rockfall drapery requires an accumulation zone (catchment area) at the bottom of the slope.
The core element of the system is the rockfall protection ring net. The panels come in standard dimensions of 10x3 m and are connected to each other using shackles. The drape is reinforced along the slope perimeter with steel wire ropes, generally overlapping the slope crest (top edge) by 1.5–3 m. Anchor length is calculated based on the physical and mechanical properties of the ground and the anticipated pull-out loads.
In cases where controlled removal (scaling) is impossible, large or unstable rock blocks are additionally secured to the slope using steel cables.
The rings within the net are available in diameters of 420, 350, or 250 mm. Our qualified engineers will assist you in selecting the most effective drape configuration for your specific slope, ensuring the optimization of your project.
ROCKFALL PROTECTION DRAPE: KEY FEATURES
◊ Versatile Application: Suitable for rocky slopes of any gradient, regardless of the physical or mechanical properties of the ground.
◊ Anchor Efficiency: Significantly reduces anchoring costs, requiring only a minimum number of anchors to secure the top support cable along the slope crest.
◊ Fast Installation: Designed for quick and efficient assembly.
◊ Enhanced Safety: The top-down installation method ensures that personnel remain in safe zones at all times during the process.
◊ Maintenance-Free: The rockfall drape system requires no operational maintenance.
◊ Easy Debris Removal: The accumulation zone (catchment area) at the toe of the slope can be easily cleared using standard machinery. No specialized equipment is required.
◊ Uniform Strength: The design is robust, with no structural weak points.
◊ Domestic Manufacturing: All system materials, components, and accessories are manufactured in Russia using Russian equipment and domestic raw materials.
