Nikhil saini These are called Flexible & Rigid barrier system. They are used for resisting debris flows/rock falls. In India, we already have such companies working together with GoI & have installed pilot projects in HP, Kerala etc. The issue lies in data, like the expected volume of debris

Retweeting a masterpiece to understand the basic mechanics/physics behind Debris flows, since #Dharali is in the news lately. Prof Iverson is one such pioneer on this geohazard.
