1.0 INTRODUCTION
North Soil Engineering was invited by Vale (Malaysia) to Teluk Rubiah, Lumut, Perak to assess the
slope condition at Hill 7 and Hill 12. Drone imagery was collected from site and post-processing was
conducted in order to assess the rockfall risk, and provide solution to mitigate the hazard. This
report presents the rockfall risk assessments for Hill 7 and 12 along with proposed solutions.
2.0 HILL 7
2.1 Site Observation
The condition of Hill 7 (Figure 1) was assessed on site and through high definition images captured
through drone. It was found that the condition of the rock slope is determined to be highly fractured,
as shown in Figure 2. This condition poses high level hazard risk to the adjacent utility line. Abrupt
detachment of these fractured pieces would damage the utility line, and also creates substantial risk
for road users.
Figure 1. Aerial view of Hill 7.
Figure 2. Highly fractured rock slope (Hill 7).

2.2 Rockfall Risk Assessment
A schematic stereonet was performed on the slope surface. Subsequently, a kinematic study was
performed to assess the failure mode and its probability. Based on analyses, the modes of failure
and their probability are shown in Table 1 below. The analysis results are compiled in Appendix A.
Table 1. Modes of failure and its probability at Hill 7.

Mode of failure Probability
Flexural toppling 40%
Direct toppling 30%
Oblique toppling 30%
2.3 Mitigation solution

In view of the problem at site, the most viable solution is through a rockfall containment netting
system. Maccaferri’s high energy absorption cable panels (HEA panel 300x300x8mm) are chosen.
HEA panels are high strength rope panel made of a single high tensile steel wire rope woven with a
square pattern of 300x300 mm, and the panel openings are 45 degrees inclined to the optional
perimetral rope; highly galvanized (Class A) with Zn-Al5 coating, produced in compliance with EAD
230005-00-0106.
The proposed drawing and calculations are compiled in Appendix B.
2.3.1 Material description

HEA Panels 300x300 Φ8 are made of a single high tensile steel wire rope woven with a square
pattern of 300x300 mm, and the panel openings are 45 degrees inclined to the optional perimetral
rope. The weaving steel wire rope is joined at each intersection by means a ‘double-knot’
connection, and the two ends of the rope are connected through an aluminium ferrule according to
EN 13411-3.
The wire ropes are made of 6x7+WSC high tensile strength steel wires (EN 12385-2 / EN 12385-4),
the steel grade of the wires is 1770 N/mm2 according to EN 12385-4. The nominal diameter of the
ropes is 8 mm (EN 12385-4), and the ropes are ZnAl5 coated Class A according to EN 10264-2.
HEA Panels 300x300 Φ8 can be supplied with an optional perimetral high tensile steel wire rope.
The perimetral wire rope is made of 6x7+WSC high tensile strength (1770 N/mm2) steel wires
according to EN 12385-2 and EN 12385-4. The nominal diameter of the perimetral rope might be 10
or 12 or 14 or 16mm (EN 12385-4); the rope is ZnAl5 coated Class A according to EN 10264-2.

2.3.2 Performance requirement
The longitudinal and transversal tensile strength not less than 150kN/m, test as per ISO 17746 / UNI
11437:2012. The punch resistance shall not be less than 235kN, with ultimate punching
displacement less than 280mm, test as per UNI11437:2012 or ISO 17746. The double knot
connection shall develop a static tear tensile resistance not lower than 24 kN.
3.0 HILL 12
3.1 Site Observation
An aerial view of Hill 12 is shown in Figure 3. Drone images taken from site shows that large boulders
are found at the topslope of Hill 12. Such condition poise potential risk of rockfall hazards to the
road users. The size of rock boulders is within 2m diameter range.
Figure 3. Hill 12 layout.

Figure 4. Large overhanging and exposed ROCK boulders and debris above Hill 12.
3.2 Rockfall Risk Assessment

Three cross sections from Hill 12 were generated for further assessment. Each cross section was
analysed for three cases of rockfall events. The properties of falling rock boulders or debris are as
shown in Table 2.
Table 2. Properties of rock boulders or debris.

The results of analyses are summarised in Table 3, refer to Appendix C for all of the simulations. It
can be determined that the maximum kinetic impact force at the bottom of slope is 4000 kJ and the
maximum bounce height is 4.96 m.

Case 1 Top of hill 4.15 m 1890 kJ
Case 2 Mid of hill 4.3 m 2300 kJ
Case 3 Near bottom of hill 5m 3300 kJ
3.3 Mitigation solution

In view of the rockfall risk assessment in Section 3.2 and based on the site topography, it is proposed
to enact a rockfall barrier along the stretch of Hill 12. The barrier shall cater for the maximum kinetic
energy and maximum height of rockfall simulated. The proposed barrier is Maccaferri EPFM5000.
The Rockfall Barrier system shall consist of an interception structure (net), post (support structure),
ropes (connection components) and energy dissipating devices to mitigate potential rockfall. The
system shall incorporate “floating” post base certified by ETA. Anchor (grouted bar foundations
(micropiles) or larger diameter deep foundations) is not required for the “floating” foundation.
The proposed drawing and calculations are compiled in Appendix D.
3.3.1 Performance requirement

EPFM5000 rockfall Barrier is a 5000kJ capacity barrier, 6m high tested system. The dimension for
each component in the system shall be equal strength to the metric equivalent for the submitted
full-scale crash test, EAD 340059-00-0106 (Falling Rock Protection Kits) tested system. The system

shall ensure minimum levels of performance for MEL (Maximum Energy Level). It shall satisfy the
following technical characteristics and performance:
 To pass n. 1 impact test with an energy greater or equal to 100% (MEL) of the nominal
resistance class, stopping the block without any substantial damage to the main components
of the kit, with a resulting residual height not lower than 50% of the nominal height.
 To pass n. 2 impact tests carried out in sequence, without any maintenance between the
two launches, with an energy greater or equal to 1/3 (SEL) of the nominal resistance class,
stopping the block without any substantial damage to the main components of the kit; the
resulting residual height after the SEL1 test shall be not lower than 70% of the nominal
height.
 The maximum elongation (in dynamic range) during the MEL and SEL1 tests shall not be
higher than 8.5m and 4.5m respectively.
 Lateral gaps after MEL and SEL1 test for the assembled kit shall not be more than 400mm
and 300mm respectively.
In Malaysia, we have installed rockfall barriers totalling over 2km in cumulative length. Likewise, for
Asia Pacific Region, the installation spans across ~ 20km long in countries such as Japan, Phillipines,
Australia, New Zealand, and Hong Kong.

MAC.RO™ SYSTEM - HEA PANEL

HIGH ENERGY ABSORPTION CABLE PANELS
HEA Panels (High Energy Absorption) are used within rockfall
protection works where high strength and puncture resistance
at very low strain, is required.
The panel is woven from one continuous length of high tensile
steel wire rope (grade ≥1770) and joined at the crossing
points with the patented HEA ‘double knot’, to form a durable
and reliable connection. An aluminium ferrule connects the
two ends of the steel wire rope together, in accordance with
EN 13411-3.

MAC.RO™ SYSTEM - EPFM 5000 - 5000 kJ

HIGH RESISTANCE ROCKFALL BARRIER
The EPFM 5000 rockfall barrier is capable of withstanding

the impact of a rock block with energy level equal to 5000 kJ.
Standards and reference guidelines:

EAD 340059-00-0106 “Falling Rock Protection Kits”, July
2018 (ex ETAG 027).
Standard on materials:
EN 10219 “Cold formed welded structural hollow sections of
non-alloy and fine grain steels”
EN 10025-2 “Hot rolled products of structural steels - Part 2:
Technical delivery conditions for non-alloy structural steels”
EN ISO 1461 “Hot dip galvanized coatings on fabricated iron
and steel articles - Specifications and test”
EN 12385 “Steel wire ropes - Safety”
EN 10264-2 “Steel wire and wire products - Steel wire for
ropes - Part 2: Cold drawn non alloy steel wire for ropes for
general applications”
EN 10244-2 “Steel wire and wire products - Non ferrous
metallic coatings on steel wire - Zinc or zinc-alloy coatings”
