Implementation of New Monitoring Approaches for Geohazard-Risk Management in Canada

交通运输基础设施，包括公路、管道、输电线路和铁路，在国内提供必要的互联互通，其充分运作是一个持续监测和维护的问题。交通基础设施暴露于与加拿大不同地区相关的地质灾害以及温度和降水的季节性天气波动。阿尔伯塔的山区、大草原的软土和陡峭的河谷造成了广泛的地质灾害，威胁着交通走廊。地质灾害可能导致基础设施过度变形、倒塌或堵塞，以及结构物承受过大载荷，从而可能导致不符合标准的状况，对用户、环境和运输货物构成风险。拟议的研究将评估阿尔伯塔沿着运输走廊的地质灾害监测技术，以制定实施监测方案的领先做法。

Transportation infrastructure, including roads, pipelines, transmission lines and railways, provide necessary interconnectivity within the country, and their adequate performance is a matter of continuous monitoring and maintenance. Transportation infrastructure is exposed to geohazards associated with the varied regions in Canada and the seasonal weather fluctuations in temperature and precipitation. Alberta's mountainous regions, soft ground in the Prairies and steep river valleys contribute to a wide range of geohazards threatening transportation corridors. Geohazards can lead to excessive deformation of infrastructure, collapse or blockage, and excessive loading on structures which may result in substandard conditions, posing risks to users, environment and transported goods. The proposed research will assess geohazard monitoring technologies along transportation corridors in Alberta to develop leading practices for implementing monitoring programs.
