ROCKFALL MITIGATION at Hoover Dam

ROCKFALL MITIGATION

We offer our clients the comfort of seamless, practical design-build solutions.

Our experience is comprehensive in every facet from initial inspections to the design and project delivery, through to the development of specialized construction equipment and techniques required for the safe removal, stabilization and protection of rockfall hazards.

 

Our team has developed robust risk management processes, safety systems and training ensuring safe access for the assessment, hazard removal, or the installation of rockfall protection systems.  Rock scaling and drill and blast are commonly used to reduce the immediate risks.

"Geovert's dedication to safety has set a benchmark for industry standards."

ROCKFALL MITIGATION SERVICES

Rock Scaling

A high-risk process to remove loose or unstable rock, ensuring slope safety through techniques like airbags, scaling bars, and blasting.

Rockfall Protection

Comprehensive systems designed to prevent and manage rockfall hazards, safeguarding people and infrastructure.

Debris Flow

Specialized solutions to control and mitigate debris flow impacts, protecting critical infrastructure and natural environments.

Attenuator Systems

Low-maintenance barriers designed to absorb rockfall impacts and guide debris to safe containment areas.

Draped Mesh

Quickly installed passive protection that mitigates the effects of falling debris, ideal for large areas with bouncing rock hazards.

Rockfall Netting

Engineered systems to prevent rockfalls, providing secure containment for slopes and cliff faces.

Rock Bolts

Permanent or temporary anchoring solutions to stabilize rock faces, tailored to project-specific requirements.

Rockfall Barriers

Dynamic protection systems tested to handle energy impacts from 100kJ to 10,000kJ, ensuring robust safety for critical sites.

Temporary Barriers

Flexible, short-term protection systems designed for immediate deployment in high-risk areas.
