FALLING ROCK PROTECTION KITS
EAU cooperates with RiSP S.r.l. for the designing and development of FALLING ROCK PROTECTION KITS. All of the kits have been designed; full scale tested based on European Assessment Document EAD 340059-00-0106(former Guideline ETAG 027) and RiSP is the entity that can issue a report for the “Constancy of Performance of construction product” and obtain a certificate of consistency from independent 3rd parties due to European Technical Assessment (ETA) Regulation (UE) n. 305/2011.
Rockfall barrier kits able to stop falling rocks with energy beyond 11.000 kJ
In terms of rockfall energy absorption capacity, the RMC and ROC kits can cover 500-11000KJ which meets the normal engineering need and exceeds that.
The documents that will be provided to customers for each system (before, during, and after-sales) include :
-TDS and detailed drawing for the system, design loads, and typical foundation Kit Drawing
-Declaration of performance for system(including conformity for anchors), and Certification of constancy of performance
-Installation manual
and, in addition to documentation, our customers receive the best engineering and after-sales support from RiSP and EAU experts.
RiSP Barriers – Versatility of Design
The main interception layer consists of a continuous net, this material can be a cable net or a ring net.
downslope side of the barrier
In most of the kits, posts are hinged at the base and kept in place by upslope bracing cables; nevertheless, kits without upslope bracing cables can be supplied as well, to tackle challenging installations in places lacking in space, or where is necessary to minimize foundations’ drilling length.
