Baden Slide Monitoring
Due to topography and geology, Southwestern Pennsylvania has a high concentration of landslides, many of which make it difficult to travel safely on roads. In accordance with the state's slide remediation programme, this slide was chosen for inquiry.
Pavement cracking and displacement are being caused by a slowly moving slide next to a road. For the design and implementation of cost-effective repairs, slide characteristics must evolve. Monitoring is necessary to determine sliding parameters.
Encardio Rite was entrusted to provide the instrumentation and automated, real-time monitoring results for the project. The type of instrumentation installed at this site included in-place inclinometers. The sensors were all read by remote, real-time data loggers that were transmitting to the cloud and threshold limit alerts.
