Monitoring

The most critical section of the tourism complex is the 24m high earth dam which is an artificial reservoir with a 15900m3 capacity which will be used for water storage during the lifetime of the project to provide a continuous water supply for snow production. Therefore, a monitoring system is required for both construction control and the long-term performance and overall stability of the reservoir.

The vertical settlement and lateral displacement in the reservoir body will be monitored by a number of borehole locations which include vertical or horizontal inclinometer systems and a number of vertical inclinometer systems combined with a magnetic extensometer system allowing the acquisition of data for both horizontal and vertical displacement from a single borehole.
