In the rugged terrain of the Spanish Mountains, a client with commercial properties near critical infrastructure is facing a significant concern: the instability of surrounding slopes poses an ongoing threat to their assets. To protect their buildings and nearby infrastructure, the client urgently requires a real-time monitoring solution capable of early detection and effective risk mitigation.
The primary goal is to continuously monitor the stability of the soil around the properties. If any signs of instability are detected, the client needs to act quickly, implementing the most effective countermeasures. This calls for a tool that can deliver precise, real-time data on ground movements, giving them a clear understanding of potential risks. Continuous monitoring, with data integrated from multiple sensors into a single user-friendly platform, is essential for ensuring the safety of their assets and nearby infrastructure.

DAARWIN is currently providing a state-of-the-art, real-time monitoring platform that gives the client critical, ongoing proof of soil instability. By integrating data from a network of sensors placed strategically around the slopes and nearby infrastructure, DAARWIN’s system offers a comprehensive, real-time view of ground movement. This enables the client to detect high-risk areas of instability quickly and effectively.
Key features of DAARWIN's solution include:
Real-time data collection: DAARWIN’s platform continuously gathers data from sensors, providing up-to-the-minute insights into the terrain’s behavior.
Instability detection: By analyzing even subtle ground shifts, the platform delivers clear evidence of soil instability, helping the client detect potential issues before they escalate.
Alarm thresholds: Predefined alarm levels trigger instant notifications when significant changes or risks are detected, allowing the client to take immediate action.
Data integration: All data from the various sensors are collected and displayed on a single, intuitive interface, enabling quick access to essential information and seamless decision-making.
Results: Detecting Instability and Reducing Risk
Using DAARWIN’s platform, the client is successfully gathering real-time evidence of soil instability. The system provides immediate insights into ground movements, confirming that the terrain remains unstable and poses ongoing risks to both the commercial properties and surrounding infrastructure. Armed with this data, the client can take proactive measures, such as adjusting maintenance schedules and implementing protective actions around high-risk areas.
DAARWIN’s continuous monitoring is also shaping long-term risk management strategies. Experts from SAALG are collaborating with the client to develop customized maintenance protocols based on real-time data from DAARWIN. This ensures that safety measures are maintained over time, helping the client manage the unpredictable terrain effectively.
With DAARWIN’s advanced real-time monitoring platform, the client is empowered to identify risks early, take swift action, and protect their commercial assets in the Spanish Mountains. Not only does the platform address the immediate challenges, but it also provides a long-term solution for managing the complex and evolving nature of the landscape.
