The Desert Rock Resort site is located within a steep, rugged mountain valley characterized by fractured rock formations, near-vertical cliff faces, and natural fault lines. During excavation and ongoing site development, the area was identified as highly susceptible to heavy rockfall events, posing significant risks to construction activities, permanent structures, access roads, and long-term guest safety. The challenge was to mitigate large and frequent rockfall hazards without disturbing the natural landscape or compromising the project’s architectural vision of seamless integration with the terrain. Given the complex geology, limited access, and the need for a discreet, sustainable, and highly reliable protection system, Maccaferri was engaged to deliver a best-in-class, engineered rockfall protection solution tailored specifically to the site conditions.
