Web-based design software for deflection installations.

Contoweb develops the web-based platform <<ATTERO>> for Geobrugg. It enables engineers worldwide to calculate rockfall protection systems online, simulate scenarios, and plan projects in real time.

Geobrugg | Rockfall protection measurement ATTERO

Background

Geobrugg is launching a new generation of its rockfall protection systems. The aim is to make the planning and calculation of these systems digitally accessible. The calculation of rockfall attenuators is complex and requires precise physical models. Contoweb is developing the digital platform <<ATTERO>> for this purpose—a software that makes complex calculations in real time accessible and visually comprehensible for engineers worldwide.

Solution

ATTERO is a web-based platform for rockfall attenuators that combines calculation, simulation, and visualization in one application. A Python microservice handles the physical calculations, while the React frontend displays scenarios and force curves interactively. Live simulations allow real rockfall events to be reproduced. After each calculation, the reporting function provides a structured summary of the results.

Benefits

The platform translates complex engineering physics into an intuitive web application, setting a new standard in rockfall protection. Engineers get a visually supported environment for precise calculations, simulations, and reports. The system is integrated into myGeobrugg and available globally. An interesting fact: During field testing, the RXE-12500 barrier withstood the impact of a 25-ton block traveling at 115 km/h—a world record in rockfall protection.
