KANE GeoTech, Inc. - A leader in geotechnical engineering.
INSTRUMENTATION
KANE GeoTech, Inc. and Dr. Kane have been designing, building, installing, and monitoring geotechnical instrumentation systems since 1994. These include complete Automated Data Acquisition Systems for slopes capable of recording ground water levels, rates and directions of ground movement, locations of failure surfaces, rainfall quantities, and soil moisture. We offer a complete range of services that cover the full lifecycle of an instrumentation project, from initial requirements analysis and design through implementation and monitoring.
Automated Data Acquisition Systems
Since 1994, KANE GeoTech, Inc. has been at the forefront of remote monitoring stations and geotechnical instrumentation. This experience allows KANE GeoTech, Inc. to design Automated Data Acquisition Systems (ADAS) combining geotechnical principles with expertise in remote sensing, electronics, and instrumentation. We have installed ADAS systems to monitor landslides, rockfall, structure subsidence, levee stability, and performance monitoring of highway bridge abutment and MSE wall construction. Our systems can automatically send alerts to key personnel via text message or email, enabling decision-makers to act immediately to prevent costly damage to infrastructure or even loss of life. Alerts can be configured individually for multiple instruments, and with multiple alert thresholds for different levels of notification or action.
TDR Specialists
Dr. William Kane was instrumental in the application of Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) techniques to slope stability monitoring, making KANE GeoTech, Inc. one of the few geotechnical engineering firms in the world with extensive experience in TDR technology. Our expertise includes full automation of remote TDR data collection systems, in addition to our TDR Field Reflectometer©, which offers rugged convenience for manual TDR data collection.
Web-Access Data
Using our on-site web server, we supply our clients with near-real-time data viewable with any web-enabled device, including computers, tablets, and smartphones. Clients can view all their data, from moments to years ago, and configure graphs and data displays on demand. Graphical displays with site photos or drawings make it easy to rapidly understand trends and locate problems.

Instrumentation System Rentals
KANE GeoTech, Inc. also provides instrumentation systems on a rental basis. This arrangement is popular for projects that have a relatively short lifespan for their instrumentation needs.
