This project required the construction of Australia and NZ’s first ever fully stainless steel Geobrugg rockfall attenuator. It was a big system constructed around 50m above the road that was 100m long with 5-7m high posts anchored and founded on concrete plinth footings with a 50m long tail to control the future rockfall debris to the roadside for clearance. The barrier was drilled and constructed with high reach telehandler drills, rope access wagons drills and a 100t crane. Other works included scaling, rock bolts and sections of dimensioned mesh as further protection.
