Herron Hill Reservoir

The Herron Hill Reservoir Project in Pittsburgh, PA, required slope stability monitoring during retaining wall construction and post-construction. Encardio Rite provided an in-place inclinometer system (Model EAN-52M) with a compact ESDL-30 datalogger for automated monitoring and near-real-time data transmission. The web-based Drishti platform ensured accurate data management and threshold alerts via SMS and emails. This geotechnical solution delivered critical insights to ensure slope stability behind the retaining wall, supporting safe and efficient upgrades to the drinking water facility.

Herron Hill Reservoir

Herron Hill Reservoir is a secondary drinking water reservoir in Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, which was built in 1880. The reservoir is surrounded by a steep slope. Monitoring was required to ensure that ground movement thresholds associated with slope excavation were not exceeded.

Encardio Rite, USA, was entrusted to provide automated instrumentation for the project with real-time monitoring results. The type of instrumentation installed at this site included a wireless in-place inclinometer system along with a web-based data management system.
