Fiber Optic Landslide Monitoring System
Performance Monitoring is the measure taken to determine the effectiveness of
landslide mitigation measures in order to provide advanced warning signal in real-time
to local or remote control base. This is where NXTAR's Fiber Optic Landslide Monitoring solution comes in.
We have conducted on-site testing and data compilation to enable the high performance and
reliability of the F.O.L.M.S. (Fiber Optic Landslide Monitoring System). Nxtar F.O.L.M.S
is a real-time fiber optics sensor that can detect big earth movement of a landslide and
trigger the NC/CC dry contacts to alert the nearby traffic, railroads and houses.
With intelligent discrimination, the F.O.L.M.S. is able to filter off environmental
noise like rain, snow and small animals. Nxtar F.O.L.M.S. is 100% passive
and allows the processing unit to be placed far away from the detection zone, thus reducing
component damage due to landslides and earthquake. The processing unit is designed to be installed
outdoors, while all the junction box and sensing fiber shall be buried underground.
The NSB-200M Mainframe can be used to collect any earth's platonic movement and use fiber optics
technology to transmit the signal over very long distances using our Fiber Optic Data Converter.
Structure
The Nxtar LSMS can be fully independent units, running off solar power and sending out the
alarm signal via a GSM dialer. This greatly simplies installation and makes remote landslide
monitoring a reality.
Features
Application 1
The NSB-200M mainframe can be used to detect any movement of the earth and give an
advanced warning of landslides. Thanks to fiber-optic technology, we can transmit the
signal over long distances using our Fiber Optic Data Converter. The sensing fiber is
planted vertically into the ground to ensure accurate detection of shifting earth as shown
in the figure below
Application 2
Nxtar's fiber-optic L.M.S. can monitor a large sloped area for landslides and fallen
rocks. It can warn traffic at both ends of the affected area to the dangerous conditions ahead.
Application 3
The Nxtar fiber-optic L.S.M.S. can also be use to give advanced warnings in case tunnel entrances
are blocked by falling rocks and landslide.
