This is a great 5-minute video put together by Terracon to showcase a project for the Missouri DOT, the replacement of the Hurricane Deck Bridge at the Lake of the Ozarks. The design team was focusing on the possible re-use of the foundations, so Terracon employed their own geotechnical engineer divers for the work.

Rockfall Protection Videos from G.T.S.
More videos! French Company G.T.S. has posted some great videos on rockfall protection systems on their YouTube channel. I don’t speak French, so I can’t give you any more info on the company (although their website looks like it has plenty of info!). But the videos cover the preparation of, drilling for, and installation or rockfall protection fences and barriers as well as a couple of general rockfall ones. They just have video with background music, so no worries about a language barrier. You can watch the installation video below.
