Common Types of Geotechnical Monitoring Instruments Used in Construction and Mining

Geotechnical monitoring instruments play an important role within construction, civil engineering, and mining environments. They are extensively used by engineers during construction and expansion projects, and as part of ongoing monitoring activities. Within mines (surface and underground), and on major construction and civil engineering projects, engineers need to measure many different factors, of which three important ones are: The deformation of structures,...

Connecting Geotechnical Monitoring Instruments to a Network Vastly Increases Their Usefulness

Geotechnical monitoring instruments play a vital role in keeping underground mines safe and productive. Measurements and other information related to the status and movement of rock masses and soil deposits within the mine allow mine engineers to check that everything is within tolerable limits and act if a potential risk is identified. Contractometers, multi-point borehole extensometers, instrumented cable bolts, ground movement...
