Retaining Wall Monitoring
A CUSTOMER SUCCESS STORY BY RST INSTRUMENTS LTD. RETAINING WALL MONITORING BACKGROUND The River Wandle joins the River Thames on the Tideway and runs about 14 kms (9 miles) long throughout the southwest sector of London, England. A defunct half-tide weir that existed at the junction of the Wandle and the River Thames was hindering the river’s natural fl ow and biodiversity. RST already had some of its monitoring instrumentation installed along the river walls from previous years that was still in use.
