KANE GeoTech

KANE GeoTech, Inc.

Introduction

KANE GeoTech, Inc. was begun by Dr. William F. Kane in 1997 after 20 years of experience in geotechnical research and consulting. The company is a civil engineering firm specializing in difficult geotechnical problems such as landslides, rockfall mitigation, instrumentation for earth movement, rock mechanics, and tunnels. We also provide services such as foundation and other geotechnical investigations, structural instrumentation, and expert witness testimony.

KANE GeoTech, Inc. and Dr. Kane have been designing, building, installing, and monitoring geotechnical instrumentation systems since 1994. These include complete automated monitoring 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 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 and software are available from the company. KANE GeoTech, Inc. uses only quality instruments from reputable manufacturers including the Campbell Scientific TDR100 cable tester.
