This due to the irregular nature of the factors that cause them. Weather, flowing water and rock erosion all play a part in causing rockfalls and the major disruptions, that they more often than not result in. Not only can they be incredibly dangerous, but they can also result in severe damage to surrounding areas and cause closures of essential roads, costing substantial amounts of money to fix.
It’s because of the unpredictability of rockfalls that it’s important that precautions are taken to try and prevent them in the first place. This is why rock stabilisation/netting is essential.
There are a few methods of rock stabilisation. Anchors and dowels can be installed to secure the rocks, a protective metal mesh can be used to hold the rocks in place and prevent them moving or the area can be descaled, meaning unstable rock and other materials are removed to prevent them causing damage or coming loose.
The only downside to installing or carrying out these measures is access and the disruption it can cause to essential routes and path ways; which is part of the problem with rockfalls in the first place.
Since most rockfalls happen in areas that aren’t easily accessible (such as cliffs and rock faces), it often means that the installation of some form of access platform is required before work begins. This will increase the time, cost and disruption caused to the area and any vital transportation links.
Is there a solution? Of course there is and it is called Rope Access.
Rope access rock stabilisation makes use of abseiling techniques and equipment, used by our IRATA trained professionals, to get the job done efficiently. This means we are able to access these difficult access locations simply using abseiling equipment and with no need for scaffolding, access platforms etc, saving money as well as operational downtime for your business. Rope Access is also a lot easier to set up meaning it can be completed with very little interference to the surrounding areas. We can cover all phases of the process, preparation, and fitting of rock stabilisation devices quickly and effectively.
Using rope access to install rock netting or complete other forms of stabilisation, cuts down on the cost and eliminates the need for work platforms and road closures. Our IRATA trained professionals make use of rope access equipment to efficiently reach hard to access areas, meaning we can get the job done without the need for road closures and at a fraction of the cost.
