Artificial Intelligence is no longer a distant promise for the geotechnical sector—it is already reshaping how we design, monitor
An electronic surveying instrument that automatically measures angles and distances to reflective targets like prisms. In geotechnical monitoring, ATS continuously tracks 3D movements (X, Y, Z) of structures with high accuracy, reducing the need for manual surveys.
The process of measuring and tracking vertical ground or structural movement over time to detect settlement or subsidence. It helps assess stability, safety, and performance during and after construction.
RTS is an advanced surveying instrument that automatically tracks and measures targets like prisms without manual operation. It records precise 3D coordinates (X, Y, Z) over time, making it widely used in geotechnical monitoring, construction, and structural health assessments.
Composite Instruments combine multiple sensors in one unit to monitor parameters like displacement, strain, or pressure. Installed in structures or boreholes, they provide integrated data, simplifying measurement and interpretation for geotechnical monitoring.
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 derived instrument is not a physical sensor but a virtual one that calculates parameters using data from multiple instruments. For example, convergence (distance change between two points) and differential settlement (relative movement between two points) are derived values computed from sensors like 3D prisms or leveling points. Such instruments enable advanced data modeling and provide a clearer understanding of complex site behavior.
