Retaining walls

Industry-leading instrumentation to detect retaining wall movement and protect the infrastructure behind it A retaining wall holds back soil, rock or water to protect roads, railways, buildings and slopes downstream of it. When a wall begins to move, tilt or overload its anchors, the consequences reach far beyond the structure itself. That is why continuous […]

Rock fall and topple landslides

High-precision instrumentation to detect movement in unstable rock faces, cliffs and individual blocks before detachment or toppling occurs  Rockfalls and topples can develop with limited visible warning and accelerate rapidly once a block becomes unstable. Weathering, freeze-thaw action, erosion, groundwater, seismic activity and nearby excavation can widen discontinuities or alter the forces holding a rock […]

Rotational landslides

Specialist instrumentation to measure deep-seated slope movement, groundwater pressure and the early signs of rotational failure A rotational landslide occurs when a mass of soil or weak rock moves downwards and outwards along a curved slip surface. As the material rotates, tension cracks may open near the head of the slide, the upper section may […]
