Through multiple commodity case studies, we show how deformation trends, monitoring data, and geotechnical analysis predict failures. The talk emphasizes rigorous geotechnical assessment, optimized instrument selection and deployment, TARP-based decision frameworks, and identifies gaps and opportunities to advance monitoring into data‑driven decision‑support tools.
Presentation
Before the Slope Speaks: Lessons from Failure Prediction Using Real-Time Monitoring Systems
SRK Consulting India will present a decade of practical experience in slope failure prediction using real-time monitoring systems. The presentation will highlight key lessons from multiple case studies across commodities, demonstrating how deformation patterns, monitoring data, and geotechnical analysis can be integrated to anticipate failures. It will emphasize the importance of comprehensive geotechnical analysis prior to hazard mapping, proper selection and strategic deployment of monitoring instruments, and TARP-based decision-making as key elements of failure prediction, while also identifying current gaps and future opportunities in advancing monitoring systems toward data-driven, decision-support tools.
