We stand between you and the falling rock.
Since 2005, Artusa has designed, manufactured, installed and monitored protection against rockfall, landslides, debris flows and avalanches.
"If nothing falls on your head, that was us."
We design, manufacture and install.
Not only barrier sales and installation: ten fields of work, from slope stabilization to suspension footbridges, from mining to security fencing for the defence industry. We manufacture hexagonal wire mesh and ring nets in our own plant; for high-tensile meshes we have been Geobrugg's representative in Türkiye since 2009. We install all of it with our own crews, then maintain and monitor it.
Each solution page states the standard the system was tested under, the conditions it is chosen for and how the decision is made.
To date we have carried out 295 installations with our own crews; jobs where we supplied design or material only are not counted.
- Rockfall protectionSystems that address rockfall at the source, along the trajectory and at the target: anchored mesh, drapery mesh and flexible barriers. Energy class and system selection follow from measured discontinuity sets, block size and trajectory results.100 – 12,500 kJ
- Slope stabilizationAnchored high-tensile mesh, drapery mesh, rock bolts, shotcrete and drainage combined into one slope solution. The system is verified against measured discontinuity geometry and anchor pull-out tests.1,770 N/mm² wire
- Debris flow and landslideFlexible steel barriers in the torrent channel that let the water through and hold the solids, and shallow landslide barriers on the slope. Catchment, channel gradient and mobilisable solid volume are measured first.UX, VX, SL
- Avalanche preventionFlexible steel net barriers that hold the snowpack in the starting zone before an avalanche forms. The design follows from extreme snow height, slope angle, aspect, and the creep and glide factors.SPIDER Avalanche
The other families are on the Turkish site: shotcrete, mining and tunnel support, hydroseeding and erosion control, early warning and monitoring, inspection and maintenance, suspension footbridges and security fencing. Browsers translate them well; our engineers answer in English.
The energy class picks the rock.
Flexible barriers are tested under EAD 340059 (formerly ETAG 027) by dropping real blocks. The class is the highest energy the barrier has stopped, in kilojoules. To choose the right class we measure the slope first, then run a trajectory analysis.
Manufacturer, not only installer.
We manufacture hexagonal double-twist steel wire mesh and ring nets in our own plant; high-tensile meshes and flexible barriers come from Geobrugg. Being a manufacturer puts lead time, made-to-size production and price in our own hands; we know which wire and which coating went into the mesh hanging on the slope.
Capacity, plant and coating classes are on the product pages; here only the families.

From the field.
From a coastal highway to a slope inside a settlement: high energy class barriers, attenuator curtains, anchored mesh, drapery and rope access. Photographs by our own crews; under confidentiality agreements, project and client names are not given.
Where we have worked.
Under confidentiality agreements, project and client names are not published; the figures come from the company's records. 295 installations by our own crews since 2011: Türkiye, Uzbekistan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Oman, Ghana, Iraq.
We measure first, then we speak.
The decision chain has four steps and the output of each is the input of the next. No number enters a report without being measured.
Geology and measurement
Discontinuity survey, laser scanning, drone photogrammetry. Verified by hand on site.
Analysis and design
Kinematic, trajectory and stability analysis. Barrier class and height come out of this step.
Installation
Rope access by experienced specialist crews; drilling, anchoring, mesh, shotcrete.
Maintenance and monitoring
Barrier inspection, anchor pull-out testing, remote monitoring. A report after every event.
