Debris Flow Barriers
Landslide and debris flow containment
Maccaferri Debris Flow are designed to contain soil/water flows (debris flows) or shallow landslides on slopes, channels and chutes. The Debris Flow Barriers are customised to suit the dimensions of the project, the anticipated debris material and the expected volume of the flow. Upon impact by the debris flow, the Debris Flow Barrier progressively deforms with the compression brakes and systems absorbing the energy. The hydrostatic pressure within the flow rapidly dissipates once the debris flow has been arrested, leaving the volume of debris within the barrier.
Maccaferri Debris Flow Barriers offer strength and performance without the aesthetic intrusion of other debris flow systems.

DEBRIS FLOW PROTECTION LERINI STREAM
Albania
Lake Komani in Bajram Curri, Albania, was constantly threatened by debris flow from Lerini-Salca stream, growing this way the water level in the lake and giving the dam additional and artificial charges, also separating the lake in two parts. The strong water flows generated this way were creating difficulties for the ship which sail in the lake.

ROMBLON DEO TABLAS CIRCUMFERENTIAL ROAD
Philippines
Romblon Deo Tablas Circumferential Road is a coastal road circum-navigating the island of Tablas, Province of Romblon. In the past, the road had suffered from temporary closures after heavy typhoons brought about by debris (logs and woods) that are carried by flood waters from the upland areas. These debris are the product of the clearing and cutting down of trees in the upland areas for cultivation purposes (a traditional but destructive agricultural system).
