The increase in debris generation and the instability of streams in ravines represent a significant risk to urban areas, critical infrastructure, and the natural environment. In response to this problem, a flow control solution in ravines was implemented, which consists of the strategic installation of debris flow barriers. These barriers are designed to intercept, retain, and channel the massive movement of material, effectively protecting the environment and valuable assets in areas where populations are located.

Dynamic barriers at the Backus plant – San Mateo, Lima, Peru.
To minimize geological risks at the San Mateo industrial plant of Backus, a dynamic rockfall barrier system was implemented. These flexible structures, made up of high-strength steel meshes, flexible posts, and energy-dissipating elements, were designed to withstand high-magnitude impacts, ensuring the structural integrity of the system and the continuity of operations. Their preventive installation enhanced personnel safety, efficiently adapted to the rocky terrain, and avoided more invasive interventions, establishing themselves as an agile and reliable alternative against rockfall scenarios.
Dynamic barriers in the Carosio Gorge, Lima, Peru.
As part of a mitigation project promoted by the National Water Authority (ANA), dynamic barriers were installed in the Carosio Ravine, in Lurigancho-Chosica, located in the Lima department, Peru. In this way, with the aim of controlling mudslides and debris flows, these flexible structures, composed of high-strength steel ring nets and energy dissipation systems, were designed to efficiently intercept mud, rocks, and sediments, providing direct protection to communities located in low-lying areas. In addition to their high effectiveness, this solution demonstrated significant savings compared to conventional systems, positioning itself as a viable and sustainable technical strategy for natural disaster management in vulnerable intervention areas.
