Characteristics

1. Falling-stone prevention wall
   The prevention wall disperses the force of stones falling down on the slope  with use of cushion material (sand, tire, timber, etc.) to reduce force and capture them.
2. Falling-stone prevention net
   Stripped slope surface and boulders on mountain slopes with danger of falling debris are covered with metal net and wire rope to prevent disasters. Its flexible structure is used to control falling rocks safely down the slope.
3. Pocket-type falling-stone protection net
   To form a “pocket” by lifting top part of the metal net by columns which is effective to catch rocks safety falling from higher altitude than the structure.
4. Wire rope net
   The cause of falling rocks on a slope is controlled at its position with wire rope and anchor, to prevent initial movement of rolling and floating stones and to stabilise slope.
