Making Civil Engineering Safer By Taking a Leaf Out of Mining’s Book: Part 1 – Using Extensometers for Civil Structural Monitoring
As you well know, tunnels and other civil structures are subject to factors like shifting and subsidence, putting them at risk of sudden catastrophic failure in extreme circumstances and making them prone to long-term damage as they age. Obviously, continuous geotechnical monitoring of civil... Read More
The Best Way to Collect Data from Geotechnical Instruments
Mine and civil engineers often make use of a variety of geotechnical instruments to monitor the status and movement within geological features and man-made structures, mostly as part of their safety management programs. The data from these installed instruments is collected one of three ways:... Read More
Keep Your Mine Safe with Wireless Tailings Dam Monitoring
