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 its support structure during operation is needed to ensure its safety and stability.
Bestech offers a variety of instrument solutions for the geotechnical industry and specifically for tunnel monitoring. Just some of the parameters that Bestech’s solutions can monitor include:
