  Finished Projects / Tunnel de la Roche St-Jean

Tunnel de la Roche St-Jean, Monitoring of rock boulders with vibration sensors and extensometers.

For the completion of the highway N16, Transjurane the rock face of Roche St-Jean has to be crossed. In the narrow gorge of the river Birse, the main road and the railway line are endangered of rock fall due to blasting of the tunnel.

Therefore Solexperts has installed a complete automatic measurement system, which collects the data of the extensometers and the vibration sensors, checks permanently for exceeding values and displays the data on a password protected site on the Internet.
