Vela

Vela

Hybrid avalanche fencing protection installed in avalanche starting zones to preventively hold the snowpack in place.

→ Suitable for all soil types and topographies, this solution for permanent active protection comprises individual cruciform modules (linked together or independent) fixed to the ground using a single anchor.

Functional ADVANTAGES :


SIMPLE:

• Reduced number of anchors.
• Light weight (<400 kg, whatever the model) to reduce helicopter transport costs.
• Site management simplified as much as possible and very rapid assembly.

MODULAR:

• Adaptable to all types of land and topography, using its individual modules.
• Distances (between anchors) and sole plate adaptable depending on the topography and ground resistance.
• Can be installed in a continuous line or isolated units.
• Particularly suitable for difficult and chaotic soils (rocky or areas with several small slide paths).

PROVEN:

• On site over more than 15 years with snow from 2 to 5 meters deep in light snow (Alps) or very wet snow (Pyrenees, Andorra), in several European and American countries.
• Sized in line with the requirements of the Swiss Directive for different thicknesses of snow.
