We performed geotechnical and geological investigations to establish the design criteria of the fence. Based on the subsurface conditions, proximity to U.S. Route 46, and economic analysis, we recommended drilled shafts for the foundation type that would support the steel fence posts. The team created a custom designed protection fence because the typical prefabricated rockfall catch fences were not suitable to protect against the magnitude of the rockfall. This custom designed fence is the first of its kind to be engineered and constructed by the New Jersey Department of Transportation and is intended to be a template for future projects with the same design conditions and magnitude of rockfall.
