Slope Monitoring
Slope monitoring provides real-time and long-term visibility into ground movement, rockfall activity, and the overall stability of natural and engineered slopes. Monitoring is essential for early detection of instability, evaluating the effectiveness of stabilization measures, and protecting infrastructure, personnel, and the public. Rock Supremacy delivers slope monitoring systems built for challenging terrain, harsh weather, and high-risk sites where accurate information is critical.
Complete Monitoring Solutions
Monitoring is an essential risk-management tool. It enables early detection of slope movement before failure, reduction of downtime for transportation corridors, improved worker and public safety, data-driven decision-making about when to intervene, verification that installed stabilization measures are performing as designed, and compliance with DOT, mining, or regulatory requirements. In many cases, monitoring is the difference between a manageable event and a major failure.
Common applications include rock slopes above highways, railways, and infrastructure, active landslides and creeping slopes, highwall and mine pit monitoring, large stabilization projects requiring QA/QC, urban construction near sensitive structures, and slopes affected by storm cycles or seasonal freeze-thaw.
Rock Supremacy integrates monitoring seamlessly with stabilization services: field installation of sensors in difficult terrain, rope-access or helicopter-assisted deployment, durable, weather-resistant equipment for long-term use, remote data visualization dashboards, integration with mitigation systems such as barriers, shotcrete, or drainage, and detailed reporting for engineers, DOTs, and asset managers. We deliver systems that continue functioning in the places most prone to failure — steep slopes, remote locations, and harsh climate conditions.
Slope monitoring is essential when cracks, bulges, or movement are visible, rockfall activity has recently increased, a landslide is active or suspected, stabilization systems need performance verification, construction activities may affect slope stability, or the slope protects critical infrastructure or public corridors. Monitoring should begin before a slope shows signs of distress — but is still valuable at any stage of instability.

How We Do It
Proven methods and specialized techniques that deliver reliable, long-lasting results.
Horizontal Drains
Horizontal drains are drilled drainage systems designed to lower groundwater pressure and improve the stability of slopes, embankments, and rock faces. By relieving pore pressure, these drains significantly reduce the risk of landslides, sloughing, and long-term slope movement.
High-Energy Rockfall Barriers
High-energy barriers provide advanced rockfall protection for slopes where large blocks, high drop heights, or extreme impact forces exceed conventional barrier capacity. These systems absorb up to 10,000 kJ through flexible ring nets, energy-dissipating brakes, and engineered post foundations.
Rock Bolting
Rock bolting stabilizes fractured, jointed, or unstable rock masses by anchoring steel bars deep into competent rock. By tying loose blocks back to stable substrate, rock bolts improve the overall strength and cohesion of slopes, cuts, tunnels, and vertical faces.
Soil Nailing
Steel bars driven into soil to reinforce and stabilize loose ground or slope faces.
Structural Shotcrete
Structural shotcrete is high-strength, reinforced concrete applied pneumatically to create durable retaining walls, tunnel linings, and slope support systems. Engineered to carry significant loads, it provides monolithic construction that conforms to irregular surfaces.

What Our Clients Say
We take pride in building lasting relationships with our clients through exceptional service and results.
"It amazes me how quick these guys adapt to challenging and seemingly overwhelming construction situations in the best, and most creative approach. Very smart, dedicated, hardworking group of brave workers in hazardous work sites. Not the type of work just anyone can do! Keep up the good work!"
"When it comes to heavy foundation anchoring and stabilization projects, these guys are superb. Although the majority of the company's jobs involve heavy civil work, my project required their skills and specialized equipment for a challenging residential cliffside application. After careful review and critique of our plans, as well as assuring that expectations were fully understood, the work began on time and was completed ahead of schedule with minimal trauma along the way. In all, the job required the installation of ten horizontal deep rock anchors, several vertical piles, and shotcrete encapsulation. I highly recommend Rock Supremacy's services and would definitely use them again."
"We engaged Rock Supremacy for a very challenging cliffside project that involved the stabilization and reinforcement of a retaining wall which ultimately required a total of ten drilled horizontal rock anchors, multiple vertical stabilization pilings and encapsulation with concrete structural reinforcement. Even though my residential project, as large as it was to me, was of a much smaller scale than the company often deals with, it approached the task with all of the consideration and professionalism I could hope for. Notably, they were not hesitant to take on a challenging terrain even with its limited access. From the outset, Corey Muir was very engaged in the project and with finding workable solutions. He was eager to explore alternative options for accomplishing the goals and worked diligently with my engineering consultants to tweak the design for a practical, affordable solution. Throughout the planning process, he maintained excellent communications with myself and our structural engineers. Corey was careful to make sure, prior to our final agreement, that all details were fully understood. The company began the project exactly when anticipated. The on-site crew, David, Nate and Jules proved to be the "A" team. They are very skilled and professional. I found them considerate, easy to interact with, and flexible with regard to change possibilities. The team showed careful concern for my property and all possible avoidance of collateral damage while completing a job that involved some very heavy equipment. When the concrete supplier was unduly delayed, they took it in stride and made the best of the situation. The job was actually finished a little ahead of schedule. Definitely a five star rating for this group, I would be happy to further discuss my experience with anyone contemplating the use of Rock Supremacy's services."
