Synopsis

As slope instability and rockfall risks continue to increase, engineers must integrate sustainable reinforcement solutions with AI-powered early warning systems to enhance safety and resilience.

This half-day seminar will cover two key advancements:

  • Sustainable Slope Reinforcement with TerraMesh™ – A high-performance modular system that provides long-term stability, environmental integration, and a cost-effective alternative to traditional retaining walls.
  • IoT-based early warning systems enhance safety – Exploring how automation, real-time monitoring, and predictive analytics are transforming slope protection and risk mitigation.

Packed with practical insights and real-world applications, this session equips engineers, developers, and policymakers with the tools to build safer, smarter, and more sustainable infrastructure.
