Instrumentation & monitoring

With increasing demand towards monitoring large infrastructure programmes, both through their build and ongoing life cycle, there is a vast wealth of instrumentation that can be implemented to monitor requirements from geotechnical ground modelling to structural health of an asset.

 

Geotechnical Instrumentation and Monitoring

At UnEarthed, we can fully customise a monitoring solution to suit any client needs towards a monitoring design programme, whether this is simply a number of drilled boreholes to install vibrating wire piezometers in order to monitor ground water conditions, or a multi-phased programme of tilt meters, extensometers, strain gauges and use of total stations to monitor surface and structural movements. The core associates at UnEarthed specialise in the niche industry of geotechnical I&M and have a vast amount of knowledge in this area to assist any client in executing their monitoring needs to any requirement.

  • Piezometers – Vibrating Wire and Hydraulic
  • Extensometers – Magnetic and Hydraulic Rod
  • Tilt Sensors – Wireless Biaxial Tilt Meters and Tilt Beams
  • In-Place Inclinometers – Vertical and horizontal
  • Combined Multi-Directional – In-Place Inclinometer & Magnetic Extensometer
  • Pressure Cells
  • Load Cells
  • Shape Accel Arrays – Vertical and horizontal
  • 3D glass prisms

Structural Instrumentation and Monitoring

The fast growing area of structural monitoring involves the use of manual or automated instrumentation to precisely ascertain the behaviour of a structure, building, asset or any physical feature. At UnEarthed, we have a long history of experience in managing some of the largest monitoring schemes on iconic structures in the UK. In using a combination of instruments for the monitoring of a specific structure or building, a clear picture of real time movements and characteristics can be ascertained to provide an understanding of build expectations. It is this standard of precise monitoring that is at our core.

  • Automated and/or manual 3D positioning using glass prisms, reflective targets and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)
  • Precise levelling
  • Tilt sensors
  • Strain gauges
  • Crack gauges and tell tales
  • Displacement transducers
  • Pressure cells
  • Load cells
  • Fibre optics – structural embedment
  • Ambient and embedded temperature sensors
  • Dynamic and traditional photogrammetry
  • Patch and traditional laser scanning
  • Shape accel arrays – Vertical and horizontal
  • Tape extensometers

 

 

Environmental Monitoring

Due to the ever growing demand to monitor particulates in urban environments, the monitoring of emissions and dust particulates for an ongoing civil build in highly populated areas are now as much a regulation as they are an ethical factor to consider.

UnEarthed have extensive experience in providing monitoring solutions to help clients keep track and conform to requirements that come with any given project. Environmental instrumentation can be used to measure air, soil, noise, dust, vibration and water, thereby establishing environmental parameters and determining whether the data complies with those outlined in relevant legislation and guidance. By accurately monitoring the status of these areas over the course of a project’s life span, organisations are able to ensure that the conditions of the environment are maintained within acceptable limits, as well as analyse the effectiveness of the control measures that have been implemented.

  • Noise
  • Vibration
  • Dust and Air Quality
  • Water course and flow

Data Visualisation Platform
