Some projects (tunnels, deep excavations, landslide areas, areas endangered with active mining) require automatic electronical monitoring systems.
Such systems have two main benefits over the old-fashion manual systems:
- safety – as such system works 24/7/365 and always give up-to-date information about the construction behaviour,
- savings – it’s a perfect tool for controlling the life-cycle of the construction during long time, what allows to predict and plan repair actions in the economy way.
What types of parameters we can monitor:
- settlement,
- displacement,
- elongation,
- tension,
- water pressure,
- many more.
