MétéoSuisse’s 2025/2026 winter review reveals unusually low snow depths and major precipitation deficits across the central and eastern Alps. But the real story for infrastructure operators is bigger than snow — it is about how a changing mountain...
Following recent rockfall and debris-flow activity on the Axenstrasse in Switzerland, ImpactSentinel™ sensors formed part of the wider monitoring system that detected the event and supported a rapid alarm response. The sensors recognised movement and impact activity...
Overview Not every hazard requires a high-energy rockfall barrier—but even low-energy fences can face regular stress from smaller events such as debris flows, shallow slides, or minor rock impacts.Monitoring these systems ensures they remain functional and efficient...
Rockfalls, landslides, and slope failures are increasing across Europe as climate change accelerates extreme rainfall, freeze–thaw cycles, and weather instability. For railways, mountain roads, hydro installations, and public infrastructure, reliable rockfall...
Monitoring Tunnel Wall Stability on the Old Gotthard Line The old Gotthard mountain route remains one of Europe’s most historically significant rail corridors. More than a century after its construction, sections of the alignment continue to operate through narrow...
Even minor rockfall events can weaken protective barriers and cause costly downtime. The Impact Sentinel system continuously monitors low-energy impacts, helping operators move from reactive repairs to predictive maintenance across rail, road, and alpine infrastructure.
