Rockfall protection
In landslide protection, falling rocks and soil are intercepted before they can cause damage to people or property. The fundamental difference between slope stabilization and landslide protection is that with the latter solution loose, unstable matter is allowed to move - the objective is to intercept and immobilize it by placing a trap in its known trajectory. This type of solution is especially suitable in large zones whose extent makes it more practical to control landslides by interception rather than retention via stabilization techniques.
