RockSpot

RockSpot is an innovative radar system able to locate, track and alert on rockfalls, avalanches and debris flows in real time. This small yet powerful radar picks up tiny falling rocks at great distances long before the human eye can see them. RockSpot is the industry’s first end-to-end solution able to trigger alerts on rockfalls and other collapse events, filling the gap in critical monitoring. Each single rockfall event is detected in real time and immediate alerts issued to geotechs and working crews.

All rockfall statistics are recorded in a database, making it possible to analyse each event and to create a proper risk zonation map. Enabling earlier warning, RockSpot significantly increases protection of lives and assets across various sites, taking safety to the next level.

RockSpot never sleeps and monitors for night and day. Real-time alerts can be customised for each sector, thanks to an advanced algorithm that distinguishes rock movements from other moving objects (such as haul trucks, animals and people). Depending on the requirements, RockSpot can be connected to on-site alarms, such as sirens, automatic road closures or other alert devices. For maximum effectiveness, all processing is performed on-site. Designed to withstand all weather conditions, its simple and compact design allows you to install the system everywhere!
