DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:

Following a rockfall, we were asked to inspect and report with our MEWP and do some scaling work to the area, removing any loose rocks.

We used rock mesh on the upper slope to prevent block failure and rock bolts to work with the new netting. Also, rock anchors were used to mitigiate the risks of further failure or topping.
