From small ground deformations to major risks In geotechnical and structural monitoring, even a few millimeters can make the difference between stability and failure. Small ground deformations often represent the first warning signs of landslides, foundation settlement, retaining wall instability, or structural stress. If these movements are not detected early, they can evolve into critical failures with…
