Rock Scaling
Rock scaling is the practice of removing unstable rock from cliff faces and slopes to prevent rockfalls.
This method involves clearing away loose rocks that pose a risk of falling. The removal is typically carried out using hand tools such as pry-bars and picks. For larger rocks or boulders, various techniques are employed, including the use of air bags or pillows, winching, or breaking the rocks into smaller pieces with powered tools.
Rock scaling serves as a preliminary method of rockfall prevention, often part of the early stages in comprehensive slope stabilization efforts. Although it's a critical step for individual slope safety, it's usually seen as a temporary measure within broader stabilization projects.
