Application Cases of Active Protection Network

Active rockfall barrier system and passive protective mesh have their unique applications in slope protection, and the main differences between them are reflected in the following aspects:

‌Composition and installation position:
Active rockfall barrier‌: flexible net mainly composed of wire rope net, covering or wrapping on slopes or rocks to be protected.
‌Passive protective mesh: a combination of steel columns and wire rope nets, arranged on the slope of the corresponding position, usually at the foot of the mountain.

‌Functions and uses:
Active rockfall barrier: limit the weathering peeling or damage of rock and soil bodies on slope, strengthen slope, allow free discharge of groundwater, protect landform and vegetation.
‌Passive protection network: intercept the falling stone on the inclined slope to prevent it from damaging the protected object, especially suitable for high and steep slope or the area with great difficulty in construction.
‌ 
Features and advantages:
‌Active rockfall barrier: with high flexibility, high protection strength, easy to spread, adapt to any slope terrain, and no special requirements on slope form.
‌Passive protection mesh: can withstand large impact kinetic energy, simple cleaning work or no cleaning, simple installation.

These differences make the active protective mesh and passive protective mesh have their own applicable scenarios and advantages in slope protection.
