Avalanche Systems |
|
|
| Avalanche protection nets are flexible
structures installed at the potential starting zone. They prevent
the creeping and sliding of the snow cover on the terrain which prevent
the breaking away of the snow slide. They can also resist small avalanches
or rock fall that could occur between two rows of snow nets. |
 |
 |
Avalanche nets are preferred to other avalanche protection systems mainly because of a considerably
lower investment and because the structure blends in with the environment making it nearly invisible. This makes it a
good product for public safety in parks, roads and ski hill areas. Specific design and custom built snow nets are
available for different situation.
|
| Over the years, avalanche prevention structure have proven to give better results when compared to snow racks,
particularly in rockfall situations or in case of snow overflow. |
| Transported by helicopter, snow nets offer one of the most economical and efficient solutions. The systems can be adapted to fit most geographic area and are designed for
average snow depth of about 3 to 5 meters and require limited slope preparation. |
