#TestTuesday No. 24: 12’500 kJ – the strongest #RockfallBarrier ever tested! With #NaturalHazards becoming more frequent and intense, the need for advanced protection systems has never been greater. In May, Geobrugg achieved a world record by absorbing 12’500 kJ in a certified full-scale rockfall test – the equivalent of a 25-ton boulder crashing in at 115 km/h! This is more than just a record. The RXE-12500 combines extreme energy absorption with smart design, making it a vital solution for high-risk areas worldwide: - Economic: Lower material, transport, and installation costs compared to concrete structures or embankments - Certified: Tested under the world’s most demanding standard – the vertical free-fall method (EAD-340059-00-0106-2018) - Space-saving: Compact installation close to endangered assets – no need for large-scale construction Remo Dudler, Matthias Schönenberger, Andreas Lanter, Manuel Eicher ▶️Watch the full video: https://lnkd.in/eJdGVCDA #RockfallBarrier #Geohazards #GeotechnicalEngineering #Geotechnical #rockfallmitigation #RockfallSimulation #rockfalltest
