Long-term slope protection provided for the new development.
Project
Solution
Construction of 1,250 ft of Geobrugg rockfall barriers (100kJ and 500kJ capacity).
Excavation of mass 42” post foundations and installation of lateral and upslope anchors.
Erection, alignment, and tensioning of barriers by experienced rope access crews.
Design adjustments made in collaboration with client and engineer to accommodate site constraints.
Project
Challenges
Requirement to protect new residential development from rockfall hazards.
Complex ground geometry and pre-constructed ditches affecting the barrier alignment.
Large-scale foundation excavation for barrier posts.
Need for rapid adaptation to changing site conditions.
Project
Overview
As part of a residential development east of the Santa Rosa Mountains near La Quinta, rockfall protection was required along the boundary to safeguard new properties from potential slope hazards.
The project involved the supply and installation of Geobrugg rockfall barriers with capacities of 100kJ and 500kJ, efficiently erected and adapted to suit challenging ground conditions.
