Looking for something? Unlock the construction industry’s latest buzzwords, trends, and technology with Maxwell GeoSystems’ dynamic glossary!
Device that tracks ground settlement or heave by measuring the position of magnetic rings along a borehole. It helps assess deep ground movement at different soil or rock layers.
A series of micro-electro-mechanical tilt sensors linked in a chain to monitor deformation profiles underground. They provide continuous, automated readings ideal for long-term ground or structural movement studies.
A series of sensors based on Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology, linked together to measure ground or structural deformation. Each node records tilt or inclination, and when combined, the chain provides a detailed profile of displacement or settlement along its length. They are commonly used in geotechnical monitoring of slopes, tunnels, embankments, and foundations.
A lightweight messaging protocol designed for quick and efficient communication between devices in Internet of Things (IoT) networks. Designed for low-bandwidth, high-latency networks, it enables reliable data transfer from sensors and instruments to central systems.
This glossary provides clear, concise definitions of key concepts in construction and infrastructure management, helping readers understand the technologies, processes, and practices that shape the industry. It serves as a quick reference for both technical and non-technical audiences looking to stay informed in a rapidly evolving field.
