SLOPE STABILITY, EXCAVATIONS & RETAINING STRUCTURES

GEOTECHNICAL MONITORING

Automated Wireless Tilt, Ground Movement & Crack Displacement Monitoring for Unstable Slopes, Retaining Walls, Deep Excavations & Embankments

Satevis® Alpha-Inc Wireless LoRaWAN® Inclinometer for 5G Telecom Tower & Antenna Alignment Monitoring

Geotechnical assets—such as landslide-prone slopes, railway embankments, diaphragm walls, and tunnel portals—are continuously exposed to heavy rainfall, groundwater pressure fluctuations, and adjacent excavation works. Deploying miles of fragile sensor cables across unstable terrain or active construction zones leads to frequent cable shearing, high trenching costs, and delayed hazard detection.

The Satevis® LoRaWAN® wireless monitoring ecosystem eliminates field cabling by combining ultra-low-power Satevis® Alpha-Inc inclinometers (0.001° resolution) with plug-and-play Easy-Sense displacement and environmental probes. Civil and geotechnical engineers gain continuous, autonomous early-warning data over distances up to 15 km, with 7+ years of battery autonomy.

EASY-SENSE™ SENSOR FUSION ARCHITECTURE

WHY CHOOSE SATEVIS® SENSOR FUSION FOR GEOTECHNICAL & TUNNEL ASSETS?

In rugged geotechnical environments—such as steep mountain slopes, highway cuts, and deep excavation pits—installing separate data loggers for tiltmeters and crackmeters multiplies hardware and maintenance costs. With the Easy-Sense sensor fusion function built into every Satevis® Alpha-Inc inclinometer, you can plug an external linear displacement transducer (DISP-BJ / DISP-SR) or temperature/humidity probe (TH) directly into the inclinometer's rugged M8-4Pin connector:

01

DUAL TILT + CRACK MONITORING NODE

Measure both 3-axis wall inclination and joint/crack opening (10 mm to 400 mm) simultaneously through a single LoRaWAN® radio transmitter. .

02

TRENCHLESS & CABLE-FREE DEPLOYMENT

Eliminate vulnerable surface cables across active earthworks and rockfalls; the external sensor is powered directly by the Alpha-Inc internal battery (3.3 VDC, 15-bit ADC). .

03

3-LEVEL LANDSLIDE & EXCAVATION ALARMS

Internal flash memory stores zero-offset calibration and transmits instant LoRaWAN® uplink alerts (Minor / Severe / Critical) the moment ground movement accelerates.

04

15 KM OFF-GRID VALLEY & SITE COVERAGE

Up to 15 km LOS radio range to a solar-powered 15 km LOS radio range to a solar-powered Satevis® IoT Gateway, with native integration into CommonSense, Satevis® Cloud, TTN & ChirpStack.
