ABSTRACT
Long-term landslide monitoring is essential for understanding landslides and implementing mitigation strategies. Case studies in Brazil and the UK used automatic systems for this purpose. In Brazil, since 2013, a geotechnical sensor system has been monitoring soil movement, water pressure, and rainfall. In the UK, a project since 2012 has been using various instruments to monitor a highway’s slope slippage. Both systems allow for early warnings and corrective actions. The current paper will also discuss the challenges and advantages of implementing such systems and also show the benefits of using the right instruments to provide long term monitoring of unstable assets in different regions and contexts.
