TDR

We are one of the few firms in the world with expertise in time domain reflectometry (TDR) for landslide monitoring. In fact, Dr. Kane was instrumental in developing the technology for commercial applications to landslides and slope failures. TDR hardware, Field Reflectometer©, and software, TDRPlot©, are available from the company. KANE GeoTech, Inc. uses only quality instruments from reputable manufacturers including the Campbell Scientific TDR100 cable tester.
