Passive rockfall protection<\/h2>\n

Our MSE walls for rockfall protection can withstand an impact of 5000 kJ (kilojoules)!<\/h3>\n

RECo\u2019s MSE walls for rockfall protection are the result of decades of research and development that have led to the creation of an innovative and high-performance narrow rockfall protection barrier. We conducted full-scale testing for our MSE wall for rockfall protection in 2020 by releasing a giant 12.4-tonne block from a height of 41m and impacting the 3 meters thick structure resulting in an impact of 5.1 megajoules (video available below). Our narrow rockfall protection wall successfully absorbed the energy from the impact, pushing the limits of soil-structure interaction to a new level and establishing a world record for reinforced soil structures.<\/p>\n<\/div>
