Superior appearance in achieving extreme view thanks to the use of wire ropes.
When a vehicle collides, the spacer distributes the energy of collision to all wire
ropes, thus reducing the impact.
Ideal for snowy areas, as it is less affected by differential settlement, produces
fewer snowdrifts, and thus reduces snow removal work.

This fence prevents vehicles from crossing into the opposite lane, thereby significantly improving road safety.
It has many advantages such as a compact size, high shock-resistance, and promptly recoverable structure.

This is a universal-type small rock fall guard fence,
offering cost efficiency, workability, and ease ofmaintenance. It enables environment-friendly,
economical rock fall protection by being optimallyplaced to suit the slope topography without using
concrete foundations (which destabilize the slope) or
scaffolding (which increases construction time).

Mount Rock Fence
This rock fall guard fence is placed on a steel pipe pile foundation without using concrete foundation. It enables the energy of falling rocks
to be captured at the early stage by being placed at the midslope. In addition, the construction method does not excavate the natural groundand so it has less impact on the environment and no waste earth is generated. The possible absorbed energy is approximately 30 kJ.

Flexible Mighty Fence (FMF)
This is a high-energy-absorbing rock fall guard fence with flexible wire ropes andsteel materials with high relative stiffness combined in an intricate manner. It
incorporates a double wire rope and flexible intermediate columns (that are
unfixed to the foundation) between robust intermediate columns. Because it isresistant to impact and stops falling rocks within the elastic deformation of thefence, it can withstand repeated rock falls. Its possible absorbed energy isapproximately 200 to 800 kJ.

Rope Dam

This rock fall protection work is suitable for valley topography and mountain stream areas withconcentrated rock falls. It is structured with two main ropes fixed to anchors on the foundation on
both sides, a vertical beam hanging from each main rope, and wire ropes placed on both sides. With
elasticity, impact resistance, and strength, it can absorb energy of 300 to 1500 kJ even in short spansin mountain stream areas, etc.

The impact of debris avalanches causes the extra length atthe lower part of the vertical rope and the horizontal rope
to slide, wrap and trap rock masses and dissipate theenergy of debris avalanches.

Pocket-type Rock Net
This is designed to absorb the energy of falling rocks through an integrated movement of the rock fall
and the net. With the upper part of the net kept open like a pocket, it can be applied to rock fall that
occurs above the net itself.

Covering-type Rock Net
This construction method completely covers a slope where there is a risk of rock fall. It prevents rockfall by a net that controls loose and rolling rocks by sticking to the slope. In addition, if a rock falldevelops, the net guides the rocks to the foot of the slope by covering them.

TR Rock Box

This barrier controls the inflow of ships, wood, and containers from the sea
into the land when tsunami waves arrive, and prevents houses, vehicles,
etc. being carried out to the sea by the rip current.
Effective for alleviating damages by tsunami, thereby protecting humanlife and property in the coastal strip.

TR ROCK BOX is a method most commonly used for rivers, paved roads,
landslide prevention sites with erosion control as a Gabion construction
method. It enhances the resistance from pressure behind by using φ8.0
