RocGuard® Avalanche Barrier System

Avalanche Barrier systems are designed on a site-to-site basis to protect infrastructure, buildings, forestation, and lives from avalanches. Snow nets, steel snow barriers and snow catchment fences are installed in the different zones to prevent avalanches from forming and propagating further to cause any damage. These engineered protection measures effectively reduce the run-out length of an avalanche which can be installed in the avalanche initiation zone or avalanche track to reduce the probability of larger avalanches starting and threatening human lives and nearby infrastructure.
