From its very inception Artigiana Costruzioni began as a specialist designer and manufacturer of rockfall barriers capable of intercepting and containing unstable boulders rolling down mountain slopes to prevent possible risks to people and property.

Our purpose is to offer the professionals and the engineers operating in the field of soil defence systems innovative, reliable and fitting systems designed and tested in accordance with the national and international standards in force.

Artigiana Costruzioni’s factory at Villa di Tirano, Sondrio, Italy manufactures a wide range of rockfall barriers which may be divided into the following main models:

  1. Series AC – Net with interlinked links
  2. Series RI – Net with interwoven ropes
  3. Series RB – Net with knots covered by boss
  4. Series EP – Net with deforming meshes
At present among the manufactured items, the “AC” series is usually marketed for brand-new projects while the “RI”, “RB” and “EP” series are nearly exclusively manufactured for maintenance interventions on existing barriers having like or similar features.

In general the rockfall barriers comprise the following:

  • Support unit
  • Capture and/or containment unit
  • Connection unit
  • Foundatiion unit.
Within the several models of rockfall barriers manufactured by Artigiana Costruzioni, each system component has been especially studied and manufactured in order to ensure maximum safety to the barrier based on energy absorption.
