Geotechnical Monitoring

Measure ground and groundwater behaviour to verify design assumptions, manage construction risk and provide early warning of adverse movement.

Technical capability

Monitoring built around the engineering risk.

Our approach links each instrument to a defined geotechnical question so the monitoring system provides useful evidence rather than simply generating data.

Ground movement

Instrumentation for lateral and vertical ground movement, deformation profiles and movement at depth.

Inclinometers
Extensometers
Settlement points
Automated survey monitoring

Groundwater & load

Measurement of pore-water pressure, groundwater level and relevant loads to understand changing ground conditions.

Piezometers
Water level sensors
Load cells
Pressure monitoring

Construction control

Monitoring frequencies and trigger levels can be aligned with excavation stages, temporary works and observational-method requirements.

Stage-based review
Trigger/action plans
Remote telemetry
Escalation workflows

Applications

Where we apply it.

Deep excavations and basements
Embankments and earthworks
Slopes and retaining walls
Tunnels and shafts
Rail and highway infrastructure
Adjacent asset protection
