Safety should never depend on cost. That’s why Inauen-Schätti offers the Avalanche Pipe—a flexible, highly cost-effective individual throwing unit within the Avalanche Guard® system.
The Avalanche Pipe functions as an extension of the patroller’s arm, operating as either a mobile or stationary installation for the safe and effective control of hazardous avalanche areas. Its compact design suits a wide range of applications and enables a rapid sequence of blasts from a safe location, even in adverse weather conditions.
READY FOR USE
As an affordable triggering solution, the Avalanche Pipe enables blast experts to safely and effectively clear slopes and ravines at precisely the right time and in the exact location required.
Whether permanently installed or mounted on piste vehicles, the system allows operators to define explosive insertion points with precision across a 360° radius. This capability enables effective ranges of up to 200 meters.
SAFE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
Efficient use of avalanche pipes is, as for all installations in the Avalanche Guard® system, not only weatherproof but also ecologically sustainable. This is because the explosive charges for avalanche pipes are actually the same products, made from a decomposable material, as those used for the Avalanche Guard and Avalanche Master. This means that users can guarantee safety in avalanche areas with a clean conscience.
