REMOTE GEOTECHNICAL MONITORING
Part of our Data Acquisition, Data Delivery & Analytics Solutions
Remote instrumentation and monitoring is a valuable tool to improve site safety and reduce carbon emissions, whilst delivering high-quality near real-time data for infrastructure and construction projects.
At Central Alliance, we strive to reduce our clients carbon footprint and are consistently working towards sustainability targets while simultaneously improving efficiency and quality of data for our clients. Numerous successful remote projects for Network Rail, Arup, Coffey, The Environment Agency and more have proven the importance of remote monitoring to the future of the ground investigation industry and we are proud to be a leading figure in implementing these innovative techniques.
In-Place Inclinometers
We believe the safety of our workers and environmental impact should take a primary position when providing site monitoring installations. In-place inclinometers (IPI) are perfect for difficult-to-access, remote areas that are challenging or dangerous for monitoring technicians to retrieve data. Access restrictions, including close to proximity to road or rail, can be major factors affecting safety; however, using IPIs can provide solutions to the issues presented.
Monitoring Pressure
Vibrating wire piezometers monitor ground pore water pressure in saturated rock and soils. We have implemented multiple successful, fully remote setups across the country for clients requiring an accurate and long-term solution to below-ground pressure monitoring.
Environmental impact is reduced due to the remote nature of the monitoring, which decreased the number of people visiting the site to download readings. This improves safety for all involved.
Earthworks Failure Detection
Earthworks failure detection systems can be provided by our instrumentation & monitoring team to provide immediate notification of movement on slopes. Remote monitoring of railway embankments has been successful and continues to provide safety-critical monitoring information for clients such as Network Rail. This same failure detection system can be used on all earthworks, not just trackside.
Twist & Cant
We can provide triaxial tilt sensor installations on the trackbed to ensure the safety of trains by sending instant alerts when movement is detected. The tilt sensors can withstand the conditions created alongside the rail from movement and weather, and return data to a central gateway and online portal remotely, requiring no cables. Breakdowns in communication due to damaged wires, therefore, are completely prevented.
