🚧 🚇 The Future of Automatic Tunnel Convergence Monitoring Underground structures might be subjected to movements during (nearby) construction. Getting control and insights on these movements is critical, but used to be difficult using manual surveying methods or with the use of automatic tilt meters and modelling of the convergence profile ❌. 🙌 Together with Fugro and Andra we have demonstrated that TotaLite is an effective method to collect these insights in real-time. ✅ Cost effective and easy deployment; 1 sensor covers up to 3 sections ✅ Get accurate convergence profile results without modelling ✅ Instant alerts in case of unwanted movements 👀 🎯 Signal every move remotely using the most precise camera on Earth!

When conducting a detailed utility mapping survey for underground utilities, the results are always limited by the volume and quality of the data that the survey team can obtain. The more high-quality information we can capture from our sensors, the better the survey outcomes and the more informed decisions can be made regarding the location and accuracy of the data. By combining Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), Electromagnetic Location (EML) technology, and the expertise of highly skilled, intuitive survey teams following robust procedures, Utility Mapping delivers the ultimate solution for obtaining a comprehensive view of what lies beneath the surface, creating a reliable and intelligent insight into the subsurface. EML technology can detect only utilities with conductive properties, such as cables and pipes, unless a conductive line or sonde can be inserted. Non-metallic services, such as plastic gas, water, drainage, and fiber optic routes, rely solely on detection via GPR. A big shoutout to the Utility Mapping Group UK team for their hard work and expertise. Their dedication to delivering high-quality utility surveys reflects their skill and commitment to safety, accuracy and efficiency. At Utility Mapping Group, we take pride in making complex projects simpler and safer for everyone! #theUteam #subsurfaceintelligence #utilitymapping #infrastructuredevelopment #subsurfaceengineering #utilitydetection #undergroundmapping #constructionsafety #infrastructureplanning #assetmanagement #utilitysurvey #builtenvironment #datadrivendecisions #surveylife #utilitylocation #groundpenetratingradar #electromagneticlocation #construction #civilengineering #infrastructure #rail #PAS128 #HSG47 #safeexcavation

Understanding and predicting ground behavior significantly influence infrastructure stability and safety. ✔𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙞𝙣 𝘿𝙞𝙨𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙈𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 GNSS technology excels in delivering precise displacement measurements. With millimeter accuracy in the X, Y, and Z axes, it offers a clear picture of ground movement. This level of detail is indispensable for geotechnical professionals monitoring potential failure zones. By receiving daily, or even multiple times daily, updates, engineers can track the progression of displacements in near real-time, allowing for proactive intervention. ✔𝙀𝙣𝙫𝙞𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝙄𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 In addition to displacement data, Kurloo technology provides insights into environmental conditions such as temperature, pressure, humidity, and rainfall. These factors are critical in geotechnical assessments as they can significantly influence ground behaviour. For instance, temperature fluctuations can cause expansion or contraction in materials, while variations in humidity and pressure can affect soil moisture content and pore water pressure, respectively. Rainfall, in particular, plays a pivotal role in slope stability and the potential for landslides. ✔𝙀𝙣𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙗𝙖𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙁𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝘼𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙮𝙨𝙞𝙨 By integrating comprehensive environmental data with displacement readings, GNSS technology enhances the accuracy of probability of failure analyses. Understanding the interplay between environmental conditions and ground movement allows geotechnical professionals to develop more robust models predicting failure mechanisms. This holistic approach leads to better risk assessments and more effective mitigation strategies. ✔𝘿𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣-𝙈𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙛𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 The integration of GNSS technology into geotechnical monitoring practices empowers professionals to make well-informed decisions with confidence. The ability to access detailed, real-time data on displacement and environmental conditions ensures that all relevant factors are considered in the decision-making process. This reduces uncertainties and enhances the reliability of geotechnical assessments. The best way to see the data is with your own eyes!

Advanced Solutions for Seismic Building Monitoring Seisodin’s Tilia accelerographs are designed to provide precise and reliable seismic building monitoring. The Tilia instruments are seismically qualified for seismic zone 4 making them particularly well-suited for seismic monitoring in residential buildings, offices, and government facilities in areas with high seismic activity. Key Features: 🔗 Simplified Installation: The Tilia series employs a daisy chain concept that transmits power, communications, and time synchronization through a single ethernet cable. This design significantly reduces the complexity and time required for installation. 🔋 Power Resilience: Our accelerographs offer an option for an integrated battery, ensuring continuous operation even during power interruptions. This feature enhances the reliability of the monitoring system. ⏱ Precision Time Synchronization: The Tilia series uses PTP (precision time protocol) for internal synchronization between instruments. This ensures that all devices are synchronized to within 40 nanoseconds of each other. The automatic handling of synchronization eliminates the need for complex configurations, making the system both user-friendly and highly accurate. The ultra-precise time synchronization capability of the Tilia accelerographs is particularly beneficial for structural monitoring applications, where simultaneous sampling is critical.
