Landslip Monitoring / Warning System near Lydney (Glos)

[Dai Corner]

Travelling on the Chepstow-Gloucester line recently I noticed an interesting installation near MP 130 north of Lydney. Obligingly, the train slowed down to observe a TSR so I got quite a good look.

Poles about 1m high are set in the steeply sloping bank in a grid pattern with a solar-powered camera pointing at them. I assume the images are transmitted to a civil engineer's office somewhere where a computer analyses them to detect any movement.

Can anyone point me to further information please?

I remember a thread that we had about one brand of equipment, post #6 has a link to a manufacturer site:

solar panels on sticks - between Applerley Junction and Guiseley

I got the train from Ilkley into Leeds and return yesterday Coming back I sat on the left facing the front We came off the skipton line onto the branch to Ilkley Just after the junction, on the left, there were some solar panels on what looked like temporary stands, and some yellow sticks on...

Spot on. That's what is installed.

There is a 20 mph TSR.

You’re welcome. Saves a difficult search through the vast number of sometimes fairly obscure thread titles...
