Geotechnical Monitoring Solutions

Geotechnical monitoring systems have to provide real time data and require a many sensors from where the information is collected and is utilized in implementation of construction plans as well as in refining soil models.  Wherever engineering properties of soil or rock are concerned, geotechnical applications come in practice.

There are many companies who provide geo technical monitoring solutions also. There are a lot of benefits of the same.

There is a single user interface and all the sensing technologies are integrated in the same. Moreover the designing of the system, the delivery, the installation of the system and operation as well as maintenance is managed by these solution providers. They only charge a monthly fee which is fixed in nature and offer services like web access to the data as well as data analysis under the stringent surveillance of engineering partners. When there are projects like underground constructions like subways, parking’s, etc. these agencies ensure that all the safety measures are taken with the help of instrumentation. The monitoring systems are active 24 x 7 hence there is a constant check on th scheduled procedures of construction and the actual construction done which in turn helps in updating the schedule so as to complete it in time and thus saves a lot of time and money too.

There are a few setbacks though. One being the expenses and labour charges required for such programs because there is a lot of field work which highly tedious and lot of laboratory work to be managed too but on the other hand the environmental monitoring has great potential in improvement and development in the fields of human health as well as environmental health by keep the environment clean and free from pollution.
