Geotechnical Observations - Specialists in Deep Basement Monitoring... Most new construction in congested cities involves digging down as well as building up, and there is often as much of the structure below ground as there is above. Concrete retaining walls contain the basement and must be monitored whilst the earth inside them is removed, and the substructure is formed. Our team can measure displacements of the retaining walls manually, using an inclinometer probe or automatically using ShapeArray (SAA) systems. ShapeArray, a sophisticated tool compared to traditional in-place inclinometers, offers continuous deformation monitoring with high spatial resolution, providing more precise data on wall movements. According to Measurand, ShapeArray is beneficial for its ease of installation and ability to deliver accurate readings even in challenging environments.

🌎#Vibroflotation is a ground improvement technique used in geotechnical engineering. It involves the use of a vibrating probe inserted into the ground to compact loose granular soils, typically sands and gravels. 🔹The entire vibroflotation compaction process in the field can be divided into four stages: -Stage 1: The jet at the bottom of the Vibroflot is turned on and lowered into the ground. -Stage 2: The water jet creates a quick condition in the soil and it allows the vibrating unit to sink into the ground. -Stage 3: Granular material is poured from the top of the hole. The water from the lower jet is transferred to the jet at the top of the vibrating unit. This water carries the granular material down the hole. -Stage 4: The vibrating unit is gradually raised in about 0.3 m lifts and held vibrating for about 30 seconds at each lift. This process compacts the soil to the desired unit weight. #engineering #geotechnicalengineering #groundengineering #groundimprovement #civilengineering

Leveling & Surveying || Basic Concept of Surveying || Survey Engineering || #civilengineering #generalconstruction #construction #surveying #leveling #surveyengineering #surveyors #geomatics #geomaticsengineering #engineering #education #stem 🎥 Watch Now:- https://lnkd.in/dzkVc6YA Leveling is a branch of surveying to determine the relative height of different points on the earth's surface. It involves measuring the vertical distances from a known reference point, typically sea level, to the surveyed point. The primary purpose of leveling is to establish accurate elevations for construction, engineering, and mapping projects. Key Components of Leveling: 1. Benchmark: A fixed reference point of known elevation. Leveling Instruments: Tools like dumpy, automatic, and digital levels. 2. Level Staff: A graduated rod used with leveling instruments to measure height differences. 3. Line of Sight: A horizontal line established by the leveling instrument to measure vertical distances. 4. Backsight (BS), Foresight (FS), and Intermediate Sight (IS): Types of readings taken during the leveling process to establish elevations. Surveying is the science and art of determining the relative positions of points on, above, or beneath the earth's surface and representing them in a usable form, such as maps, plans, and charts. Surveying encompasses a wide range of techniques to measure distances, angles, and elevations, providing crucial data for planning and executing construction projects. Basic Concepts of Surveying: 1. Horizontal and Vertical Measurements: Surveying involves linear (distance) and angular measurements, which map the terrain and establish property boundaries. 2. Control Points: Fixed points of known coordinates used as references in the survey. 3. Traversing: A method of surveying where a series of connected lines form a framework for establishing control points. 4. Triangulation: A technique that uses the measurement of angles in a triangle formed by three survey control points to determine distances. 5. Topographic Surveys: These provide detailed information about the natural and man-made features of the land surface, including elevation contours. 6. Equipment: Common surveying tools include theodolites, total stations, GPS devices, and laser scanners.

What is dynamic compaction? Dynamic compaction is a ground improvement technique used in geotechnical engineering to densify and strengthen soil. It involves repeatedly dropping a heavy weight from a considerable height onto the ground surface. The impact of the weight creates powerful shock waves that penetrate deep into the ground, causing the soil particles to rearrange and compact, thus increasing the soil's density and load-bearing capacity. This method is commonly employed to stabilize loose or weak soils for construction projects such as roads, highways, embankments, and foundations. There are two main types of dynamic compaction techniques: 1. Drop Weight Compaction: In this method, a heavy weight, typically in the form of a steel drop weight or a crane-mounted hammer, is lifted to a certain height and then released to free-fall onto the ground surface. The impact generates shock waves that densify the soil. 2. Impact Roller Compaction: This technique involves using a heavy vibrating roller with special features to generate dynamic forces. The roller is driven over the ground surface, causing the soil particles to rearrange and compact under the repeated impacts and vibrations. #civilengineering #geotechnicalengineering #civilconstruction

CMT drilled deep into Health Care The Vail Health Expansion and Parking Garage site is located in Vail, Colorado. The office and parking garage structure at the east end of the hospital were removed and replaced with the existing addition. The 100,000sf addition includes a parking garage, offices, hospital rooms, and an ambulance garage. The parking garage is five levels below grade and the offices and hospital rooms are five levels above grade. To put this into perspective the garage is about 60 feet below grade on the north side and 40 feet below grade on the south side. Subsurface conditions were studied at the site by drilling borings using the Odex drilling method. The borings were drilled to a maximum depth of 90 feet below grade. In addition, a geophysical study was conducted to provide a seismic site classification for design. CMT provided design recommendations for foundations, seismic design, lateral soil pressures for deep foundation walls, permanent dewatering system, and pavements. Foundation recommendations consisted of mat foundation and spread footing foundation. Construction required excavation of granular soils, soil nail shoring system, temporary dewatering, and permanent dewatering system. #VailHealthExpansion #GeotechicalEngineering #MaterialsTesting #ShoringSystem

🌎#(Jet grouting): is a ground improvement technique used in geotechnical engineering to strengthen soil or create impermeable barriers underground. It involves injecting a high-pressure stream of grout (a mixture of cement, water, and sometimes additives) into the soil. 🔹Generally, jet grouting consists of three systems: ( 1-single rod system, 2-double rod system, 3-triple rod system). 🔹 It's used in various scenarios such as: 1) Foundation Support: Jet grouting can be used to create columns of hardened soil to support foundations for buildings, bridges, or other structures. 2) Excavation Support: It's utilized to create retaining walls or support structures around excavations to prevent collapse. 3) Soil Improvement: Jet grouting can improve the load-bearing capacity of soil or create impermeable barriers to control groundwater flow. 4) Seismic Retrofitting: In earthquake-prone areas, jet grouting can be used to strengthen soil and mitigate liquefaction risks. 5) Environmental Remediation: It's also employed for environmental purposes, such as creating cutoff walls to contain contaminants or stabilizing landfills. 📚(Jet Grouting, 2014). #engineering #geotechnicalengineer #foundation #foundationdesign #groundimprovement #groundengineering #soil #civil #civilengineering #groundwork #soilscience #search #education #geotechnics #soilstabilization #enviromental #seismicdesign #soil #jetgrouting
