ENGINEERS: Are you responsible for ensuring areas with erosion and soil instabilities are monitored for safety? Learn how our revolutionary ShapeArray technology can help mitigate risk ==> https://measurand.com/project-profiles/shapearray-data-alerted-state-authorities-to-protect-the-public-from-landsl

In 2003, a massive landslide in downtown Crookston caused significant property damage, forcing the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) to seek out newer and better monitoring solutions. MnDOT sought out Measurand’s ShapeArray. Five ShapeArrays were installed at two sites with the most soil instability. In Sept. 2008, ShapeArray data revealed that soil movements were deeper than anticipated and the deformation rate was increasing. MnDOT responded by diverting traffic away from the instability.

Ten days later, a landslide occurred, dropping a 150-meter section of the highway three meters. The slide continued over several days, but because MnDOT decided to use the ShapeArray, engineers were able to preemptively ensure that no members of the public were hurt during the slide.
