A comprehensive rock slope stabilisation solution was implemented to mitigate rockfall risks and protect key assets. The project began with controlled de-scaling operations carried out by specialist contractor CAN, removing loose and unstable rock blocks to reduce immediate hazards.

To reinforce the slopes, crest and toe stabilisation cables were installed, improving overall structural integrity. The rock faces were then secured using a continuous curtain of PVC-coated rockfall netting, designed to contain falling debris and prevent impact on sensitive infrastructure.

Additional surface stabilisation and erosion control were achieved using MacMat R®, applied across both soil and rock slopes to enhance long-term durability. For areas identified as high-risk, particularly zones with intense jointing and proximity to critical installations, an enhanced protection system was introduced. These sections were reinforced with high-strength HEA panels, providing increased resistance to large block failures.

This integrated rockfall protection system delivered a robust, long-term slope stabilisation solution, ensuring safety, protecting infrastructure, and maintaining operational efficiency at the facility.
