Designed by KANE GeoTech and installed by Access Limited in 2014 as post-wildfire protection for a small New Mexico community downstream. One barrier was filled in 2015 and cleaned out. All the barriers were impacted in the fall of 2024 in a major debris flow event. So much for the Rule-of-Thumb that the debris hazard goes to zero five years after a wildfire! The barriers are Geobrugg UX and VX debris flow barriers and designed using DEBFLOW software. #geotechnicalengineering, #geotech, #geohazards, #rockfallprotection
