Terrestrial Scanning / Topography & Monitoring

Quarry Spitz 10.08.2006

This quarry was scanned in 2005 and 2006, because between these two measurements a big rock-landslide has taken place. The data was used to calculate the exact volume of rock-mass moved by the landslide. Besides the volume-calculation also geotechnical analysis was made on the 3D-data. As input for these geotechnical analysis of endangered areas (by rock falls), dip-angle and –direction of faults, joints and beddings are essential. These parameters mainly determine the mechanical behaviour of rock masses. Normally specialists have to climb up into dangerous areas to measure these values by hand, which is hazardous, difficult, and time-consuming.RiSCANPRO offers functionality to calculate directly on the 3D-model best-fitting-planes, describing direction and orientation of faults, joints, and beddings. Relevant parameters of extracted planes can be exported for further analysis (e.g. polar-plots) in geotechnical software packages.
