SPIDER SLIDE

Province of Brescia: the area near Valle di Saviore has always been subject to significant levels of precipitation which can initiate a process of very slow but continuous landslides.

To guarantee the safety of inhabitants and infrastructures, it is therefore necessary to monitor the stability of slopes, keeping the risk of hydrogeological instability of the territory under control.

In 2020, the Spider Slide monitoring and warning system was installed. The system includes several peripheral stations equipped with sensors capable of detecting any movements in the subsoil and level changes in the aquifers, positioned at specific points along the slopes.

These peripherals convey the data to a central station, located further downstream a few kilometres away, which manages the information received, forwarding data and any alerts on the network.

The simplicity of the system, the long autonomy of the devices in batteries (years), and the absence of specific configurations, like all Spider System® technologies, made it possible to minimize installation times by offering a versatile and extremely effective solution.
