Mesh, Drapery and Rockfall Barrier Systems

Installing active and passive protection systems to intercept or control falling rock. Where rock cannot be economically pinned in place, passive drapery guides detached rock toward a controlled toe area, while actively pinned mesh restrains potentially unstable surface blocks against the face. Catch fences and dynamic barriers intercept falling rock based on kinetic trajectory modelling and verified energy ratings.

High-energy rockfall mitigation requires robust, flexible steel systems engineered to absorb substantial kinetic energies. DCC installs both passive drapery (which safely guides detached rock fragments down the slope into a controlled toe area) and actively pinned mesh systems (which apply continuous surface restraint to hold potentially unstable surface blocks against the face). For detached rolling boulder hazards, we erect dynamic rockfall barriers and catch fences engineered with energy-dissipating friction brakes and high-tensile steel ring nets.
