Innovative Landslide Monitoring

Landslides are increasingly occurring on slopes and steep terrain due to heavier rainfall, deforestation, mining, and natural phenomena such as earthquakes. These events cause devastation worldwide, making accurate monitoring crucial to minimize damage.

Importance of Landslide Monitoring

Predicting the likelihood and speed of landslides is crucial for several reasons:

1. Safety of People

Ensuring the safety of people is one of the primary reasons. By predicting landslides, communities can take timely measures, evacuate people from potentially hazardous areas, and save lives, thereby reducing the impact on residents.

2. Protection of Property and Infrastructure

Landslides can cause substantial damage to homes, roads, bridges, and other infrastructure. Predicting the likelihood and speed of landslides allows for measures to be taken to mitigate this impact, such as constructing protective structures or avoiding construction in vulnerable areas.

3. Environmental Protection

Landslides can result in significant environmental damage, including soil erosion, disruption of ecosystems, and blockage of waterways. Predicting landslides enables the implementation of appropriate measures to protect the environment and facilitate recovery.

4. Economic Considerations

Landslides can lead to significant economic losses, ranging from property damage to disruptions in agricultural activities and tourism. Predicting landslides enables economic stakeholders to prepare and take actions to limit the impact on the economy.

5. Planning and Urban Development

Predicting landslides is essential in urban planning and spatial development. It helps identify areas prone to landslides, allowing for the implementation of appropriate regulations and building codes to reduce vulnerability.

Reliable Monitoring with the Locator One

How does it work?

Metal rods are strategically placed in the ground, with a Locator One attached to each. These stations record GNSS data every hour and send it via a LTE-M network to Parvamoti. Within a short time, the coordinates are calculated and displayed in our Parvamoti dashboard. This data helps engineers evaluate landslides and take preventive measures.

Case Study: Hörbranz, Vorarlberg, Austria

Since April 2023, a slope in Hörbranz has been moving, causing destruction. Basetime’s Locator One closely monitors the situation and provides crucial insights that help stabilize the slope and minimize further damage.
Martina Mittelberger, State Office for Surveying and Geoinformation Vorarlberg:
“The Locator One provides us with significant insights into the landslide’s movement. It helps us monitor the environment and control the situation.”
