Energy Sector
Energy infrastructure often resides in remote, difficult-to-access terrain. From hydroelectric dams anchored in canyon walls to pipelines traversing steep ridges, these assets are vulnerable to rockfall and landslides. Rock Supremacy provides specialized access teams—often helicopter-supported—to inspect and harden these critical facilities.
Energy Sector Challenges
Working in energy sector presents unique geotechnical challenges that require specialized expertise and proven solutions.
Without proper intervention, these conditions typically worsen over time. Early assessment and appropriate remediation can prevent costly emergency repairs and protect the assets and people that depend on stable ground.
Applicable Standards
Common Challenges
- Remote Access: Sites often lack road access, requiring helicopter transport for crews and drills.
- Critical Failure Risks: Rockfall damaging a penstock or pipeline can cause catastrophic environmental and economic damage.
- Vibration Sensitivity: Work around dams or turbines often has strict vibration limits, ruling out heavy blasting.

Penstock Protection
Installing rockfall sheds or heavy-duty ring nets above pipelines.
Dam Anchors
High-capacity post-tensioned anchors to improve dam stability.
How We Deliver
Our field services deliver comprehensive solutions tailored to your specific site conditions and requirements.
Why Choose Rock Supremacy
Techniques We Use
Proven engineering methods that deliver long-term stability and protection for energy sector infrastructure.
Cable Anchors
Cable anchors (also known as strand anchors or post-tensioned anchors) provide high-capacity reinforcement for slopes, retaining systems, cut faces, and rock masses. These anchors transfer load deep into competent ground, offering reliable, long-term stabilization.
Pressure Grouting
Pressure grouting strengthens ground, fills voids, and reduces water infiltration by injecting grout into soil, fractured rock, or void spaces. This technique supports slope stabilization, foundation improvement, landslide remediation, and structural repairs.
Rockfall Barriers & Fences
Engineered catch systems that intercept falling rock or debris before it reaches roadways, railways, or infrastructure. These high-energy systems absorb and dissipate impact energy safely through deformable components.
Tieback Anchors
Tieback anchors provide active lateral reinforcement for retaining walls, excavation support systems, and slope stabilization by transferring loads deep into stable ground or rock. These post-tensioned elements are essential for deep excavations and high-load applications.
