Mount Whitestone is located in the Lockyer Valley Region of South East Queensland. The summit of Mount Whitestone is 530 metres above sea level.

Geotesta was involved in setting up and maintaining the geotechnical instrumentation and remote monitoring system to monitor the stability of the slope in the area.

The geotechnical instrumentation system includes a series of vibrating wire Piezometers to monitor the groundwater level, Inclinometers to monitor the ground deformation, a weather station to monitor the rainfall intensity and Extensometers to monitor the slope movement.

In addition to that, Geotesta instrumentation engineer installed and set up a time-lapse CCTV camera to capture the slope image and the adjoining road.

All the monitoring data are captured and transmitted using a custom designed industrial PC on Telstra telecommunication network.
