Monitoring of the Litzirüti rock tower, Arosa

Automatic rock monitoring

Project: 2021 - , Arosa, Switzerland
Client: Rhätische Bahn

Above Litzirüti (municipality of Arosa), a rock tower measuring approximately 12,000 m3 and 50 m in height is threatening the tracks of the Rhaetian Railway below.
A deep understanding of the movement mechanism is of central importance for hazard management. To monitor the 3D movement, three GPS stations were installed on the rock tower and a fourth at the foot of the tower. Thanks to the meteorological station, the measurement results can be directly correlated with the weather conditions.
