This means that certain safety precautions are necessary: fences that provide both unobstructed watching and protection from flying debris. We offer mobile and permanent solutions for public or private circuits that are outstanding due to proven safety, extremely functional and offer a clear view of the race track.

OPTIMIZED SPECTATOR PROTECTION AT MOTORSPORT RACE TRACKS.Geobrugg developed the only debris fence which is fully tested and homologated in accordance to the FIA Standard 3502-2018 debris fences. The test results showed a significantly improved performance compared to conventional systems. The Geobrugg debris fence is available in three different heights: 2.5 m, 3.5 m and 4.5 m.

Example: Components of the Geobrugg debris fence 350 (height 3.50 m)

Our debris fence system provide the following features:

System solution

Quick and easy installation: The components of the

Geobrugg debris fence work together in perfect harmony.

Unobtrusive net structure

Ensuring spectators get the best possible view: The high-

tensile ROMBO mesh, made from 4 mm wire rope,

accommodates an increased rope distance, from 25 cm

to 50 cm, to improve racetrack visibility without

compromising spectator safety.

High-tensile steel wire net

Protection against high energy levels: The high-tensile

steel wire, with a tensile strength of 1,770 N/mm², enables

maximum load absorption with minimum deformation.

FIA homologated

Tested in the laboratory and in practice: The Geobrugg

debris fence is already in use at many racetracks and

has been produced and installed in accordance to

the FIA Standard 3502-2018 debris fences. Geobrugg

has an excellent working relationship with the FIA

and is a member of the Industry Working Group.
