In the region of St. Moritz, landslides, rock falls and permafrost activities are widespread. Due to climate change, HAPPY MONITORING system is monitoring the city since November 2020. The system is ordered and maintained by Geo Grischa AG, supplier of engineers and geometricians of St. Moritz commune.

“We have 3 points of monitoring on the north part of the city center, one on the East and West side of the City center of Saint-Moritz” explains René Schnider, Sales and Technical Director.

HAPPY MONITORING achieves a precision of +/-1mm in daily measurements. Under strong snowfalls, the precision is +/-2.5mm in a daytime. This is the first time in years that the region has sought to monitor the effects of climate change and that very high-precision measurements are being taken. As René Schnider reminds us,” no other technology exists which can monitor with this precision a landslide like this. With the extreme weather conditions (heavy snowfalls) in the high mountains, other systems simply can’t measure”.

In a mid-term period, these measures will help the city to anticipate the risks for the population but any infrastructure
