Groundwater Monitoring

Groundwater Monitoring

Monitoring groundwater level and pore pressure is critical across resources such as boreholes, standpipes, embankments, soils, earth fills, and more. Bestech provides reliable and accurate groundwater monitoring systems through automated and real-time data management solutions for products such as standpipes, Casagrande Piezometers, and vibrating wire piezometers. Monitoring groundwater is crucial for groundwater table mapping and groundwater level and pore water pressure. Choosing the right type of instruments to measure groundwater can depend on the reason for measuring, the accuracy of the measurement required, and the type of pumping activity. Whether it is long-term continuous monitoring or standalone installations, our groundwater...

Landslide monitoring

Landslide monitoring

Landslides can be triggered by a variety of factors, including intense rainfall, snowmelt, earthquakes, volcanic activity, and human activities such as deforestation and construction. Monitoring these factors is critical to understanding landslide risks, but it presents significant challenges due to the following reasons: Unpredictable Timing: Landslides often occur with little warning, making it difficult to predict their timing and location. Remote Locations: Many landslide-prone areas are located in remote and hard-to-reach regions, complicating efforts to set up monitoring systems. Complexity of Geology: Landslides involve a variety of geological factors such as soil types, rock formations, and groundwater levels, requiring sophisticated...

Soil consolidation monitoring

Soil consolidation monitoring

Soil consolidation refers to the process where soil changes volume over time under load due to water being expelled from its pores. This can have a significant impact on the stability of foundations and other structures. However, monitoring soil consolidation poses several challenges, including: Long-Term Monitoring: The consolidation process can take months or even years, requiring reliable and durable instrumentation capable of long-term performance. Variability in Soil Conditions: Different soil types respond differently to loads, meaning the monitoring system must be adaptable to various conditions. Accuracy and Real-Time Data: Timely and precise data are essential for tracking the rate of...

Tunnel monitoring

Tunnel monitoring

Bestech has a variety of solutions that support the critical monitoring of tunnels that can measure their stability, support and strength in addition to measuring changes in the structure over time. Bestech’s geotechnical solutions allow monitoring from sensors installed in and around the tunnel, within the ground and in other materials and surfaces in proximity to the tunnel. Online monitoring allows engineers to understand changes in parameters both remotely and onsite. Furthermore, measuring the ground surface and subsurface parameters to design the tunnel can validate whether the design performs as per standard. After construction, continuous monitoring of the tunnel and...
