The Eco Protec® system

This system, developed by our company, is designed to secure avalanche-prone areas (ski slopes, road surroundings, etc.).

The structure can be made of steel, wood, or a combination of both, depending on its intended use.

This concept is designed in France with eco-friendly materials to preserve the mountain ecosystem, to which we are deeply committed.

Usage and installation

ECO PROTEC® is designed to stabilize the snowpack upstream of areas to be protected (ski resorts, road structures, etc.).

A grid is laid out across the zone to reduce the risk of avalanche release.

Additionally, depending on the altitude, vegetation and trees can be planted downstream of the avalanche barriers to reforest the area, thereby increasing resistance to snow flows.

The ECO PROTEC® range

We have created two types of devices with different anchoring systems depending on the installation site.

ECO PROTEC® MA (Single-Anchoring)

1. Composition: The structure is made of steel, wood, or a combination. The French Douglas Pine used is untreated to minimize environmental impact.

2. Dimensions: Our product range is suitable for snow heights from 2 to 4.5 meters.

3. Installation sites: Areas at risk of avalanche release, slopes of 30 to 50°.

4. Patent and standard: Our ECO PROTEC® system is patented and compliant with the NFP 95-303 standard.

1. Environmental respect: Eco-friendly materials designed to minimize impact on the natural environment (untreated Douglas Pine).

2. Reforestation: Installing the device promotes vegetation growth downstream, which is otherwise prevented by snow flows. This also helps stabilize the snowpack, reducing the risk of avalanche release.

3. Reduced installation time: Each structure requires only a single anchoring. Installation is quick, limiting exposure for personnel working on-site.

4. Minimal impact on the ground: ECO PROTEC® is installed without earthworks.

5. Independent elements: We analyze site constraints to size the structure according to assessed risks.

ECO PROTEC® AA (Downslope Support)

Ce système assure les mêmes fonctions que le précédent, il est installé dans des zones à fortes contraintes.

En fonction des lieux d’installation et des besoins, les éléments ECO PROTEC® APPUI AVAL peuvent être assemblés pour fournir une protection plus importante de la zone

This system performs the same functions as the previous one and is installed in areas with high constraints.

Depending on the installation site and requirements, ECO PROTEC® DOWNSLOPE SUPPORT elements can be assembled to provide greater protection for the area.

1. Environmental respect: Minimal impact on the ground.

2. Reforestation: Installing the device promotes vegetation growth downstream, which is otherwise prevented by snow flows. This also helps stabilize the snowpack.

3. Modular installation: Easy installation regardless of the terrain.

4. Robust installation: Thanks to its composition (steel) and the downslope support system, this device is suitable for areas with high constraints.

5. Independent elements: Components are assembled according to the site and assessed risks.
