Slope and Landslide Monitoring Cases

Slope monitoring needs surface displacement, deep slip-surface location, groundwater and rainfall in one warning logic. The standard stack is GNSS + flexible inclinometer + water level + rainfall, with solar and low-power communication for remote sites.

<10 km

RTK Comfort Baseline

Short baselines keep RTK stable; longer projects need multi-station or PPP planning.

80%

Fixed-Solution Review Line

Cloud logic should review link quality before treating a low fixed-solution rate as deformation.

24/7

Unattended Field Operation

Solar power and low-power communication support remote slope stations.

Surface Displacement

GNSS provides north-east-up displacement for landslide blocks and pipeline corridors.

Case scope

What SoilCreate Monitors On Site

A slope warning system should not rely on one signal. GNSS tells whether the surface block is moving; flexible inclinometers reveal the depth and shape of internal deformation; water-level gauges explain groundwater-driven acceleration; rainfall and weather data provide triggering context. SoilCreate packages these into a low-power, solar-ready field system with quality flags for positioning reliability.

✓
Surface and deep displacement together
GNSS confirms block movement while flexible inclinometer profiles locate the active shear zone.
✓
Water and rainfall as causes, not decoration
Groundwater rise and rainfall history are displayed with displacement rate to support warning decisions.
✓
Communication quality before alarm
For GNSS stations, fixed-solution rate and link logs are separated from displacement curves to prevent false warnings.

Data chain

Monitoring Chain Used On Site

Delivered projects are organized from monitoring targets to data quality, alarm rules and reporting outputs.

Slope block → GNSS → SAA profile → Water + rain → Warning rule

Representative projects

Delivered Monitoring Cases

These cases focus on monitoring targets, sensor combinations and the data logic used after delivery.

Pipeline Corridor

PetroChina Pipeline Geohazard Monitoring, Nanning

SoilCreate served the Nanning PetroChina pipeline geohazard project, monitoring landslide-body deformation along an operating pipeline corridor without interrupting pipeline service.

High-Fill Slope

Longyan High-Fill Slope Deformation and Bearing Test

SoilCreate used in-place inclinometer monitoring in the Longyan high-fill slope deformation and bearing-capacity test, where deep deformation is more meaningful than surface inspection alone.

Road Network Slope

Guizhou Xingyi Ring Expressway

Road-network slope projects connect geohazard monitoring with transport operation, requiring robust remote communication and maintenance-light deployment.

Implementation checklist

Delivery Checks Behind Reliable Data

The following checks are standard items in field delivery and long-term operation.

Delivery phase	Field check
Baseline planning	Place GNSS base stations on stable ground; check baseline distance and sky visibility.
Cross validation	Do not issue high-level warnings from GNSS alone when fixed-solution quality is poor.
Field power	Size solar panels for consecutive cloudy days plus reserve capacity.
