On the slopes in the area of Siriu, along DN 10 Buzau-Brasov, the Regional Directorate of Roads and Bridges (DRDP) announces the installation of impact sensors that allow authorities to be alerted in the event of rockfalls, facilitating rapid intervention and making road traffic safe.
Specialists from DRDP Buzau visited DN10 Buzau-Brasov, in the Siriu Dam area, where works are underway to consolidate and secure the slope, following recent rockfalls.
"During this stage of the works, slope stabilization measures are being implemented by installing flexible retention systems, consisting of high-strength wire meshes. This active protection solution has the role of preventing material detachments, contributing to increasing the safety of the road infrastructure," DRDP Buzau reported.
Among the new elements that the workers have used is the use of a monitoring system that can alert authorities when rocks on the slopes break away and come into contact with the protective barriers, equipped with impact sensors.
"An innovative element of the project is the implementation of an advanced monitoring system, one of the first of its kind installed in Romania. It includes anchored nets, rockfall protection barriers and impact sensors, capable of detecting and signaling geodynamic events in real time. In the event of an impact of the detached material with the retention barriers, the sensors transmit data to a central collector, which, through a GPS system, automatically distributes the information to the DRDP, SDN and the responsible authorities. Notifications are generated instantly and are accessible on mobile devices, facilitating rapid intervention and preventing overloading of the protective structures. The implementation of this system eliminates the risk of uncontrolled collapse of the barriers, an essential aspect for traffic safety on this road sector," said the director of the DRDP Buzau, Eng. Sorin Robu.
Thus, by using modern technologies and by continuously monitoring structural parameters, compliance of the execution with the project requirements is ensured and road infrastructure protection measures are optimized.
