Stability Monitoring System for Frigid Climates

Maptek released a cold climate model of its Sentry system for stability monitoring. The company reported it redesigned all the major components in the standard- temperature Sentry mobile system to achieve the specifications. The system can operate continuously from -20° to 50°C, with operation for a limited time in temperatures below -20°C. It leverages an XR3 cold climate laser scanner, which has been redesigned and tested to operate at these low temperatures. A removable neoprene jacket for the scanner provides extra protection against wind chill. Sentry is a mobile remote-monitoring system that uses laser scanning to continuously measure ground movement with extremely fi ne spatial resolution and accuracy, the company reported. Housed in a self-contained unit with autonomous power and communications capabilities, it relies on sophisticated software to monitor, analyze and report in real time.
