Rockfall Mitigation

GRW mitigates rock and debris hazards on steep slopes and cliffs.
We remove unstable loose rocks and install protection systems so communities and critical infrastructure stays safe, protected and in service.

Understanding Rockfall Mitigation

Rockfall Mitigation OLD

What is rock mitigation

Rockfall mitigation combines hazard assessment, slope scaling, reinforcement, and catchment or barrier systems to reduce rockfall risk to an acceptable level 

When you need rock mitigation services

It is used when loose blocks, ravelling faces, or debris flows create a rockfall risk that no longer meets geotechnical risk criteria and must be brought under control

Pinned & Draped Mesh Systems

Our mesh installations span hundreds of thousands of square metres across North America. Utilizing industry-leading systems from Geobrugg, Trumer, and Maccaferri, our solutions are engineered to stabilize slopes in all terrain conditions. Whether you’re protecting transportation corridors, residential developments, or natural landscapes, our installed pinned and draped mesh solutions offer cost-effective and environmentally sound solutions for slope instability.

Rock Bolts & Dowels

Leveraging various drilling techniques with our fleet of specialized equipment, our technicians can install any bolt or anchor your project requires. Our expertise and attention to detail ensure the integrity and dependability of installed elements—providing durable solutions for a range of applications.

Rockfall & Debris Flow Barriers

GRW has installed some of the largest rockfall and debris barriers in North America. Designed to withstand the volumes and impacts of debris flows and rockfall events, these specialized barriers provide reliable protection for construction sites, highways, hydroelectric facilities, pipelines, and bridges. Our safety-first approach sets the industry standard for high-impact debris flow barriers in the Pacific Northwest.

Project Spotlight: Hydro Facility Drape Mesh Asset Protection

After several rockfall incidents endangered powerhouse assets, an innovative installation was required to safely construct a permanent rockfall mitigation system.
