Stability
 
 

The stability of rock slopes mainly depends on the underlying discontinuity network. By a 3D acquisition of the rock surface including the visible discontinuities, orientations a determined in a simple way. From the measurements a geometric model of the slope is derived from which free blocks are determined algorithmically.

 

 
 
The contact-free measurement principle allows the recording of also regions with difficult access. Imaging from large distances up to several hundreds of meters are possible.
   
 
  • Reduction of mapping time up to 90%
  • Assessment of the areas of instabilities
  • Determination of rock block volume
  • Contact-free measurements up to 10 – 800 m distance
  • Imaging areas from 3 to 300 meters (typ.)
  • Measurement of dip and dip direction, lengths in meters, areas
  • Data export for additional analyses (e.g. numerical simulation
