If you are designing or implementing road projects in the vicinity of wetlands, forests, watercourses or Natura 2000 areas, you are more than likely today analyzing not only the geometry of the road body, but also the items in the documentation of the scope of environmental protection equipment, referred to as: \u201eprotective fences for herpetofauna\u201d or \u201cfences for amphibians\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is an element resulting from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Omission or application<\/a> of a makeshift solution carries real consequences: stopping the work by the nature inspector, ordering corrections, and, in the case of projects implemented with EU funds: the risk of not crediting expenses or returning part of the grant at the stage of inspection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To avoid costly downtime and additional complications, it is worth betting on a proven solution, which includes Terramaxx from Geo Globe Poland<\/a>, which:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n So how does the Terramaxx system work, what determines its high effectiveness?<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Terramaxx system is prefabricated herpetological fences<\/strong>, which was designed for amphibians, reptiles and other species threatened by traffic. During migration periods, especially in spring and after heavy rainfall, the fences effectively stop animals from entering the roadway and direct them to safe underpasses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The effectiveness of the Terramax system comes from a combination of proper geometry, prefabrication and cooperation with ecologists involved in monitoring amphibian migration. Why is Terramax the best solution for your project?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Terramax is a system that was developed based on years of field observations. The design takes into account:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Terramaxx system was developed in cooperation with ecologists involved in roadside amphibian mortality studies and has undergone multiple verifications in road projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the most important features of Terramaxx is the adjustable canopy, which prevents small animals from climbing over the fence. This is crucial for species capable of overcoming vertical obstacles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In practice, this means:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The canopy on Terramaxx herpetological fences is adjustable from 30\u00b0 to 90\u00b0. The adjustment ensures adaptation to terrain and weather conditions, while the plastic construction guarantees stability and resistance to UV and deformation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Prefabrication reduces the risk of downtime and is especially important when schedules include protective periods or short weather windows. The lightweight design of the Terramaxx system facilitates both transportation and quick on-site installation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The mounting posts in the Terramaxx system are designed to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is one of the most important elements to eliminate the problem typical of tapes and films, which is the loss of barrier continuity after a few weeks of use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Terramaxx system can be flexibly adapted to the requirements of the environmental decision, the local topography and the scale of the project. The system works well both on large sections of national roads and expressways, railroad infrastructure projects, cubic investments and local projects<\/strong>, where it is necessary to quickly and effectively protect herpetofauna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of our dedicated projects was Development of a fence to protect the tree frog <\/a>- species capable of climbing on smooth surfaces. Standard systems did not meet environmental requirements, and in the Geo Globe<\/a> Poland we designed a solution that used a special waffle structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Are you looking for dedicated solutions?
