International Rockfall Protection Conference 2014

Marc attended the International Rockfall Protection Conference 2014 hosted by Geobrugg in Switzerland and Austria over May 21 to 28, 2014. The conference included a field test of Geobrugg’s 500kJ flexible rockfall protection canopy at their testing facility in Wallenstadt. Following technical talks a tour was held of remedial sites in Switzerland, Austria and Southern Germany. Among the numerous installations visited was the large rock fall canopy along the spectacular Route des Pontes, in the Canton of Valais:Image

The tour provided invaluable information about state of the art slope remedial works.
