Trimble 4D Control Software

At the INTERGEO 2010 conference in Cologne, Germany, Trimble announced its 4D Control Software for monitoring of movements on a variety of structures and geotechnical features. It even includes the ability to connect to various geotechnical sensors such as tiltmeters and piezometers to complement the monitoring of geo-referenced points such as survey prisms. Users can customize alert tolerances and notification settings. It also includes a module for a web interface. [Source: PRNewswire. Image: Trimble]

Sea to Sky Highway I don’t know about you, but I’ve been enjoying watching the 2010 Olympic Winter games over the past few days. If you have, you know that Whistler is the venue for many of the sports including alpine skiing, luge, skeleton, bobsled, ski jumping, biathlon and cross-country skiing among others. The Whistler area is located about 50-miles or so North of Vancouver. In order to get to Whistler, you need to drive along Highway 99, better known as the Sea-to-Sky Highway.  This highway has a long history of geotechnical problems, including some significant structurally controlled rockslides and landslides.  In the years leading up to these Olympic Games a fair amount of work was done on the highway with some significant geotechnical innovations.
