Slope Failure & Slope Stability Monitoring

Continuous geohazard monitoring and proactive prevention are at the core of GeoStabilization’s approach to slope protection.

Slope failure does not occur suddenly without any prior signs. Every landslide or ground movement happens as a result of identifiable, trackable, and often preventable geological phenomena.

Real-time slope stability monitoring allows the owners and operators of critical infrastructure to plan ahead, anticipate slope failures, and take proactive remediation measures before potential hazards become real issues.

By supporting its clients in carrying out continuous slope monitoring, GeoStabilization International’ helps them create safer working environments, prevent critical slope failure, and avoid costly downtimes and disruptions of operations.

Advanced Real-Time Slope Monitoring Solutions

GeoStabilization International’ can monitor sites before, during, and after slope remediation. The company’s preferred method for slope stability monitoring involves a combination of highwall investigation techniques and subsurface stability assessments. These procedures enable continuous monitoring of environmental and site changes, which is essential year-round but especially during periods of high precipitation like spring and fall.

GeoStabilization’s monitoring teams use multiple radar systems, robotic total station systems, and surveying target prisms to watch high walls for early warning signs of geohazard activity — such as loose material, tension cracks, unusual water flow, and more.

Additional subsurface measurements on rock mass displacement are carried out using advanced inclinometers, time domain reflectometers, and borehole extensometers. For limited-access sites, the monitoring equipment collects data remotely from a safe position. Clients can also leverage GeoStabilization’s real-time monitoring capabilities to identify zones to dewater or assess the effectiveness of drainage diversion and newly constructed buttresses in reducing ground movement.

This real-time monitoring, combined with a regular inspection and maintenance program and the development of early recognition protocols, allows infrastructure operators to stay on top of changes in geological conditions and take immediate measures to minimize potential issues.

The Benefits of Slope Stability Monitoring

Continuous slope stability monitoring generates reliable and actionable data that empowers owners and stakeholders to make informed and prompt decisions.

Timely action is essential to protecting critical infrastructure and minimizing the adverse effects of geohazard emergencies and more gradual processes, such as slope erosion. Prevention and maintenance also help maximize the benefits and reduce the total costs of geohazard mitigation efforts.

Reliable slope stability monitoring requires minimal effort on the part of GeoStabilization’s clients. The company takes care of the installation and continuous maintenance of all surface, subsurface, and remote sensing-based monitoring instruments. GeoStabilization customizes the exact combination of monitoring tools to the client’s needs depending on the budget, project goals, geologic and soil conditions, types of geohazards, and various other considerations.
