Ensuring Stability and Integrity with Monitel

Protecting the safety and longevity of structures is paramount in construction and infrastructure management. Monitel has a proud history building structural monitoring systems across Western Australia, utilising the most reliable and accurate sensors on the market.

Comprehensive Structural Monitoring Systems

We stock a range of sensors and monitoring devices that deliver detailed insights into the health of buildings and infrastructure. Taking into account the constraints of your site and budget, Monitel combines these tools into a wider structural monitoring system to achieve the best results. Our tools include:

• Strain Gauges (Structural Strain and Stress): Measure stress levels within structural components, identifying areas under excessive load to facilitate preventive maintenance.
• Crackmeters: Track changes in existing cracks, providing precise measurements to evaluate damage progression and repair effectiveness.
• Inclinometer: Tracks lateral movement in retaining walls, deep excavations, and tunnel stability assessments.
• Accelerometer: A wireless vibration sensor for tracking movement in bridges, tunnels, dams, and industrial facilities.
• Tilt Sensors (Triaxial with Gateway or IoT Options): Detect minute shifts in a structure’s orientation, offering real-time data crucial for stability assessments.

Wall Monitoring

Monitoring the stability of walls is essential to detect unexpected movements such as tilting and settlement. Monitel employs a range of tools and systems to monitor interior and exterior walls, providing continuous data on wall deformation. Crackmeters are utilized to monitor existing cracks in walls and floor slabs, while jointmeters assess misalignment in utilities or expansion joints. Hydrostatic levels installed on floors and walls help detect differential settlement, ensuring comprehensive wall monitoring solutions.

Vibration Monitoring

Vibrations from construction activities, machinery or the environment can adversely affect the integrity of infrastructure. Monitel offers monitoring services that use standard triaxial geophones suitable for most construction and blasting scenarios. These geophones can be installed in the ground near affected structures or directly anchored to them, measuring vibration velocity across a broad frequency range. This data assists in assessing the impact of vibrations and implementing measures to mitigate potential damage.

Tunnel Monitoring

Tunnel stability is critical to ensuring safety and longevity during both construction and operational phases. Monitel provides comprehensive tunnel monitoring solutions, using high-precision monitoring tools to track movement, ground deformation, water ingress and other environmental conditions. By detecting early warning signs, Monitel helps prevent costly stability issues and ensures compliance with safety regulations across infrastructure, mining and transportation projects.

Tailored Monitoring Strategies

Monitel adopts a technology and product-agnostic approach, ensuring solutions are customised to each client’s specific requirements. As we are not tied to specific manufacturers, we select the most appropriate and cost-effective technologies for your project. This client-focused methodology guarantees effective and efficient monitoring strategies, enhancing the safety and longevity of infrastructure assets.
