Our RockFall Solution

What is RockFall?

RockFall is an advanced seismic RockFall detection system that enhances safety and operational efficiency in areas prone to falling debris. Using acoustic signature recognition technology, RockFall detects hazardous rockfalls in real time and sends immediate alerts to operators, providing a cutting-edge alternative to traditional slide fence systems.

Highly sensitive seismic sensors, paired with a 24-bit data acquisition system, accurately identify and analyze falling rocks and debris while distinguishing them from environmental noise. Proprietary algorithms ensure precise recognition, reducing false alarms and enabling rapid response.

Designed for low maintenance and high reliability, RockFall automatically resets after detection and seamlessly integrates with existing signaling systems. This innovative solution not only enhances safety for personnel and infrastructure but also minimizes costs associated with collisions, downtime, and recovery.

Suitable for railway companies, mining operations, and other high-risk environments, RockFall provides accurate monitoring, instant alerts, and unparalleled protection.

How Does RockFall Work?

RockFall utilizes advanced seismic sensors and acoustic signature recognition technology to detect hazardous rockfalls in real time. Sensitive seismic sensors are strategically placed in high-risk areas to capture ground vibrations caused by falling rocks and debris. These seismic signals are transmitted to a central processing unit, where a 24-bit data acquisition system converts them into digital data for real-time analysis.

Proprietary algorithms analyze the seismic signals to distinguish hazardous rockfalls from environmental noise. The system automatically filters out non-threatening vibrations, ensuring consistent accuracy and minimizing false alarms.

Once a valid event is detected, RockFall sends immediate digital warning signals to railway operators, mining companies, and other stakeholders. Alerts can trigger alarms, broadcast messages, and initiate emergency protocols.

RockFall stores data after each event, providing valuable insights for trend analysis and proactive risk management, enabling comprehensive reports that enhance safety and protect infrastructure.
