Results
Rockfall hazards mitigated across development-facing slopes
Provided long-term safety assurance for planned residential and commercial buildings
Project delivered on schedule despite terrain challenges
Enabled progression of development works with reduced geotechnical risk
Project
Solution
Carried out extensive rope access scaling to remove unstable material
Installed high-tensile rockfall mesh systems anchored into bedrock
Constructed rockfall barriers to intercept debris before it reached the site
Coordinated works to align with the developer’s construction program
Project
Challenges
Steep slopes with limited or no conventional access
Large volumes of loose rock requiring scaling prior to protection works
Sensitive site adjoining a high-profile urban development
Project
Overview
The Lakeview precinct in Queenstown required extensive geotechnical works to manage rockfall hazards above a new development site. Geovert was engaged to implement protective systems that would ensure the safety of future residents and infrastructure. The steep alpine setting demanded technical rope access solutions for safe and effective delivery.
