Passive rockfall protection<\/h2>\n

Reinforced Earth\u00ae rockfall bund withstands impact of 5000 KJ!<\/h3>\n

Terre Arm\u00e9e’s rockfall bund solution is the result of decades of research and development that has led to the creation of an innovative and high-performance narrow rockfall protection barrier. Most recently, full scale testing by Terre Arm\u00e9e in 2020 entailed 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). The narrow bund successfully absorbed the energy from the impact, pushing the limits of soil-structure interaction to a new level and establishing a world-record for a reinforced soil structure.<\/p>\n<\/div>
