Rock fall fences belong to the passive flexible slope protection system, also commonly known as rock catch fences or passive slope protection nets. The core components of a complete rockfall fence system include high-tensile steel wire mesh, energy dissipation rings, support ropes, anchor bolts and steel posts. All these accessories cooperate with each other to form an integrated interception system.
Relying on its flexible structure, Rock fall fences buffer the impact force generated by rock blocks falling from mountain slopes and intercept rolling rocks, so as to prevent falling rocks from hitting roads, construction sites, personnel and facilities below. Optimized through long-term engineering practices, Rock fall fences feature mature construction techniques and standardized modular installation, making them a mainstream solution for mountain slope treatment and rockfall disaster prevention and control.
The design of Rock fall fences complies with international standards related to slope rockfall interception. Compared with rigid protective structures such as concrete retaining walls, Rock fall fences are lighter in weight and more adaptable to complex terrain. The modular on-site assembly method can effectively shorten the construction period and reduce the overall project cost. The whole protection system bears the impact of falling rocks via flexible steel wire mesh, and absorbs impact energy with energy-dissipating components to reliably realize slope rockfall protection.
