Geopraevent

We support the early warning service of the municipality of Albula/Alvra with vital data on the critical landslide in Brienz/Brinzauls where an evacuation is currently underway: Since 2020, an autonomously operated interferometric radar has been providing area-wide information on surface deformation and deformation rates in all visibility conditions (day/night, fog, rain, snowfall). Recently, we also installed an autonomously operated high-resolution deformation camera DEFOX on the ridge providing detailed images of the upper slope and optical deformation analyses. The ROCYX rockfall radar in the village has been detecting rockfalls in real-time since 2018 and provides a measure of rockfall activity. It automatically closes the road to Lantsch/Lenz (currently closed due to the present situation).

We reinstalled the interferometric radar for monitoring the hanging glacier on the Weisshorn a month ago after the deformation camera indicated increased movement rates. The radar runs completely autonomously at 3500 m a.s.l. and provides decision-makers with important data on movement rates during day/night and in fog and snowfall.

Ein Hängegletscher am Weisshorn droht abzustürzen. Ein hochpräzises Radargerät steht im Einsatz, um den möglichen Gletscherabbruch von 600 000 Kubikmeter Eis vorherzusagen.

Auch unsere Lieferanten freuen sich über interessante Anwendungen: Hier ein Applikationsbericht von Phoenix Contact über den Einsatz ihrer Komponenten: https://bit.ly/3vp2FbU

Vor Naturgefahren warnen – das A und O ist hier Zuverlässigkeit Messsensoren zur Erkennung und Frühwarnung vor Naturgefahren müssen unter extremen Witterungsbedingungen besonders zuverlässig und ausfallsicher sein. Geopraevent setzt daher steckbare Zeitbausteine von Phoenix Contact ein.
