Rock Core Rigs: Tools for Assessing Avalanche Risks
Avalanches depend on snow and underlying rock. Rock core drilling rig study the rock part.
- Map Slope Angles: Steep slopes increase risks. Cores help calculate these angles.
- Check Rock Stability: Loose rocks trigger avalanches. Rigs sample to test this.
- Find Vegetation Roots: Roots hold soil. Cores show where roots are sparse.
Ski areas and mountain towns use this info. They set up barriers and warning systems. Rock core drilling rig turn avalanche risks into manageable threats.
