You might have heard of landslides taking place due to storms or rains and the tunnel down the slope gets engulfed in soil and silt due downpours. This happens when ample measures are not taken while constructing the tunnel. This may have taken you by surprise as to what the fault of the tunnel construction is when the land above it has fallen.
Whenever a tunnel, track or anything is built at or near slopes, an assessment of the slope is carried out. This assessment checks for the feasibility of planning a structure such as a tunnel or laying tracks for railways. If all factors are in favour and no major risk is observed, the needful is constructed. However, once the construction is completed, slope monitoring device has to be kept in place to keep in check the activity of the adjacent slopes and the impact of it on the land on which construction took place.
With such device installed, any major occurrence that may be dangerous to people can be contained and thus averted. Surely, with such technology, slope monitoring techniques certainly pave the way for construction structures and keep them safe in the future days, months and years.
