Slope & Embankment Monitoring – How to Anticipate Landslide Risks

WATCH WEBINAR HERE

In recent years, we’ve seen how unstable weather and heavy rain can quickly affect the stability of railway embankments and slopes.

From our work with the Danish infrastructure owner, we’ve learned that early detection of movement can make the difference between preventive action and costly repair.

About the Webinar

In this webinar, we share what we’ve learned from recent monitoring projects — showing how real-time slope and embankment monitoring provides valuable insight into early movement and helps anticipate potential landslide risks.

Through practical examples, we’ll demonstrate how continuous measurements and automated alerts support infrastructure owners in making timely, data-driven decisions — even in remote or hard-to-access areas.

What You’ll Learn

  • How continuous data reveals early signs of slope or embankment movement

  • How intelligent alarms (sudden change, threshold, forecast lens) support proactive maintenance

  • How predictive insights changes decision-making on-site

  • What recent monitoring cases have taught us about slope behaviour

Key Takeaways

  • Monitor slope and embankment behaviour continuously – not just after an incident

  • Use screening tools (InSAR, LiDAR, drones, surveys) to identify high-risk zones across the network

  • Apply real-time monitoring to track movements and moisture levels before failure occurs

  • Trigger alerts based on intelligent algorithms using thresholds, sudden change, or forecast

  • Combine geological insights with sensor data to understand failure mechanisms
