Image for slope monitoring techniques

slope monitoring techniques

Slope monitoring techniques are methods used to observe and analyze the stability of land, particularly in areas prone to landslides or earth movement. These techniques include using surveys with GPS and laser measurements to track movement over time, installing sensors to detect shifts in the ground, and employing satellite imagery for large-scale monitoring. By continuously gathering data on slope angles, soil conditions, and rainfall, engineers and geologists can assess risks and predict potential failures, ensuring safety for nearby infrastructure and communities.
