Alternative landslide and rockfall detection solutions often rely on many discrete point sensors that sense only very local disturbances and require power and communications at every location, a significant challenge in remote areas. Traditional cable and wire systems are prone to failure and require manual reset by people on site. Due to the installation and operation challenges, difficult choices must often be made on which areas of track to protect with these techniques.

Sensonic provides an improved modern alternative. We use fiber optic cable to provide continuous landslide and rockfall protection for long lengths of track. The system resolves the location of landslide and rockfall detections quickly and accurately allowing action to be taken and accidents prevented.
