In addition to manufacture and assembly of its soil defence products and systems, Artigiana Costruzioni offers professionals, local administrators, contractors and all those operators generally engaged in soil protection activities, its experienced technical personnel to provide design consultancy; such a service is also facilitated by special types of software capable of simulating the fall of avalanches or rocks.

By drawing on our wealth of scientific knowledge and experiences gained after long years on the field, we can advise on the best possible option to the problems of rockfalls, avalanche strikes, slope toe erosion etc. through the design of suitably sized over-the-ground and underground foundation structures in order to offer the most suitable overall technical solution in compliance with the ruling standards.
For instance in the case of a rockfall problem requiring high energy absorption expandable barriers, we will need to acquire the following data:

• Plano-altimetric condition of the rows of panels;

• Height of structures;

• Length of sections;

• Overlap of adjacent sections;

• Energy-absorbing factor;

• Most suitable barrier on account of ground morphology of site and frequency of events.

All such data can only be acquired after careful onsite investigation and through rockfall computer simulations.
Our engineering department is available to all soil protection professionals to allow them to design reliable, fitting and lasting solutions.
