SlopeMonitor
SlopeMonitor is a data management, data processing and visualization software program specifically engineered for geotechnical slope monitoring programs. By leveraging a centralized database architecture, SlopeMonitor streamlines the organization of a large number of projects, borehole datasets, and diverse instrumentation data into a single, intuitive interface.
Geospatial Mapping
SlopeMonitor features an integrated mapping system that provides immediate spatial context for project sites and borehole locations. This allows engineers and project managers to navigate large-scale monitoring programs with speed and precision.
Advanced Data Integration & Processing
The software supports seamless importing and processing for industry-standard inclinometer data, including GTilt data, and data from RST Instruments, GEOKON, and Encardio Rite.
For other data formats, SlopeMonitor’s extensible architecture allows for custom Python-based import modules, ensuring compatibility with any data source. Beyond inclinometers, the system can process and graph readings for groundwater levels (vibrating wire piezometer readings and standpipe readings) and thermistor strings.
Multi-Dimensional Visualization
SlopeMonitor offers 2D site plans and 3D site views. 2D site plans show site boundaries, background imagery, borehole locations, and inclinometer azimuth orientations; 3D site views present boreholes with soil layers, ground surfaces, and spatial inclinometer displacement data views. 3D boreholes and slope inclinometer data can also be presented on Google Earth.
Project Management & Scheduling
SlopeMonitor includes a dedicated task and schedule function. This tool facilitates the planning of routine monitoring cycles, helping teams maintain data continuity and regulatory compliance.
