In geological hazard management, dynamic barriers represent a crucial protection component. These systems are specifically designed to stop moving rocks from breaking off unstable slopes or embankments.
Dynamic barriers are structures designed to absorb impact and dissipate the kinetic energy of rock blocks before they reach vulnerable areas, making them an effective solution for safeguarding infrastructure and lives.
Advantages / Benefits
High energy absorption capacity: Designed to dissipate the energy of impacts caused by rockfalls or soil collapse.
Long-lasting durability and environmental integration: Ensures long-term performance in adverse weather conditions.
Adaptability to diverse geotechnical conditions: Their flexible configuration allows for precise installation on irregular geometries and complex slopes.
Applications
Rockfall protection on roads and highways.
Safety on railway lines and railway tunnels.
Protection of urban infrastructure and buildings near hillsides.
Hydraulic works and stream channels

Dynamic barriers at the Backus – San Mateo plant
To minimize geological risks at Backus’ San Mateo industrial plant, a dynamic rockfall barrier system was implemented. These flexible structures, comprised of high-strength steel mesh, flexible poles, and energy-dissipating elements, were designed to withstand high-magnitude impacts, ensuring the system’s structural integrity and operational continuity. Their preventive installation reinforced personnel safety, efficiently adapted to the rocky terrain, and prevented more invasive interventions, establishing themselves as a flexible and reliable alternative to rockfall scenarios.
Dynamic barriers in the Carosio Ravine, 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 department of Lima, Peru. The goal was to control mudslides and debris flows. These flexible structures, composed of networks of high-strength steel rings 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 its 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 areas.
