Wyssen Avalanche Control AG products
Preventive Avalanche Release
Wyssen - Bomb Tramway
The charges are transported from out the station with manual or electric drive, transported to the avalanche starting zone and then detonated over the snow cover. By using a charge carrier, up to 4 charges can be carried and dropped in one run by means of remote radio control.
Wyssen - Model LA2-5 / LA4-5 - Charge Carrier for Bomb Tramway
Charge Carrier for Bomb Tramway is used to transport multiple charges by bomb tramway to the detonation points
Avalanche Detection
Wyssen LARA - Long Range Avalanche Radar
The radar device permanently monitors a pre-defined area of the avalanche path and can thus reliably detect when an avalanche has been set off. In combination with the Wyssen avalanche towers, radar enables successful blasting to be verified. The information about whether an avalanche has been released together with a rough estimation of its size can significantly reduce the residual risk when carrying out avalanche control work. Additionally, avalanche radar makes it possible to detect spontaneous avalanche activity and in combination with a traffic light switch, it can be used for operating road closures. Moreover the information about spontaneous avalanche activity is very important when estimating local avalanche risk.
