The increase in debris generation and flow instability in ravines represents a significant risk to urban areas, critical infrastructure, and the natural environment. In response, debris flow control solutions are implemented through the strategic installation of debris flow barriers. These barriers are designed to intercept, retain, and channel mass movement of material, providing effective protection for the environment and valuable assets located downstream of populated areas.

Dynamic Barriers – Backus Plant, San Mateo, Lima, Peru
To minimize geological risks at the San Mateo industrial plant of Backus, a system of dynamic rockfall barriers was implemented. These flexible structures, composed of high-strength steel meshes, flexible posts, and energy-dissipating elements, were designed to withstand high-magnitude impacts, ensuring structural integrity and operational continuity.
Preventive installation enhanced personnel safety, adapted efficiently to rocky terrain, and avoided more invasive interventions, consolidating this solution as an agile and reliable alternative under rockfall scenarios.
Dynamic Barriers – Quebrada Carosio, Lima, Peru
As part of a mitigation project promoted by the Autoridad Nacional del Agua (ANA), dynamic barriers were installed in Quebrada Carosio, located in LuriganchoChosica, Lima, Peru, to control debris flows and mudslides.
These flexible structures, composed of high-strength steel ring nets and energy dissipation systems, were designed to efficiently intercept mud, rocks, and sediments, providing direct protection to downstream communities.
In addition to high effectiveness, this solution demonstrated significant cost savings compared to conventional systems, positioning it as a technically viable and sustainable strategy for natural disaster management in vulnerable intervention areas.
