Rockfall prevention systemthat protects the environment

TOKYO ROPE MFG. CO., LTD.

Rope Net prevents rockfalls andpreserves the landscape.
Rope Net advantages
Minimal removal of trees during installation works
The net is made of separate ropes that go around the trees, so that removal oftrees is not required.
Fixes stones at slopes
Flexible and durable wire rope firmly covers the slope and attaches large stones
to it, preventing the falling of non-attached stones on a slope and providing aslope stabilization.
Ease of assembling
Materials and equipment used for Rope Net have a light weight, so that
assembling causes no difficulties.
Possibility of use with steel net
At areas with the fall of soil ground and stones through the net with 50cm x
50cm meshes, Rope Net can be used along with a net that can hold small stones.

ROPE NET
Examples of completed projects using Rope Net

Rope Net that helps eliminate the rockfalls, also protects environment. If you use Rope
Net with a net or other systems that prevent rockfalls not only relatively large rocks,
but also of small stones.

Examples of completed projects using Rope Net

In the process of assembling Rope Net direction and intervals between wire ropes that form thenet are defined according to the tree location. Thereby tree removal is not required.

Rope Net firmly holds large
non-attached stones, in areas withthe fall of small and large stones.
Gallets of large stones, a net
attached to the Rope Net can beused.

Cement anchor
The main component of a system that prevents
the rockfalls is an anchor. The cement capsule,used for its installation, is manufactured understrict quality control. Thereby cement anchor will
be securely attached.
