Produced and installed by Swiss company Geobrugg, the debris fences are currently the only permanent debris fences in the world to have passed the new FIA homologation tests.
The solution offered by Geobrugg also helps meet the unique challenges of the circuit as there will be a number of banked sections, including the final corner which is set to be an incline of 18 degrees.
This is much greater than the nine-degree banking at Indianapolis and means that the top of the circuit will be 4.5meters higher than the bottom. Turn three of the circuit will also be banked in a parabolic curve and will enable two cars to run side-by-side.
