Geotechnical Instrumentation in Perth

Geotechnical Engineering Services

Geotechnical instrumentation plays a critical role in the construction and monitoring of civil engineering projects, ensuring ground stability and the safety of surrounding structures.

Monitel is committed to delivering advanced automated monitoring solutions tailored to the specific needs of each project. Our monitoring equipment is designed to provide real-time insights into the geotechnical conditions of sites, enabling our clients to be on the front-foot when it comes to the integrity and longevity of their assets.

Our Geotechnical Monitoring Technologies

We use a variety of modern tools and technologies to carry out our geotechnical engineering services. Our instrumentation is sourced from various manufacturers and is designed to assess and monitor the geotechnical properties of soil and rock. These include:

• Piezometers (Groundwater Pressure Measurements for Tailings, Civil, and Slopes): Our piezometers are essential for measuring the groundwater pressure in various applications, including tailings dams, civil engineering projects, and slope stability studies. Our range includes standpipe, strain gauge and vibrating wire piezometers, helping assess the risk of groundwater-related instabilities and design appropriate mitigation strategies.

• Extensometers (Magnetic and Hydraulic Rod): Our extensometers are designed to measure the deformation and displacement within soil and rock masses. Available in magnetic and hydraulic rod types, these instruments provide valuable data on the movement and stability of underground and surface structures, aiding in the prevention of collapses and failures.

• In-Place Inclinometers (Vertical and Horizontal): These devices are crucial for monitoring the lateral movement and deformation of slopes, embankments, and retaining walls. Our in-place inclinometers can be installed vertically or horizontally, depending on the specific monitoring requirements, providing continuous accurate measurements of ground movement.

• Load Cells (Monitoring Tension and Bending Resistance): Our load cells are instrumental in measuring the tension and bending resistance in structural elements such as anchors, struts, and piles. By providing real-time data on the forces acting on these elements, our load cells help in ensuring the structural integrity and safety of the construction.

• Soil Pressure Cells (Measures Stress in Ground): These devices are used to measure the stress and pressure within the soil, providing insights into the load distribution and potential areas of concern. Our soil pressure cells are essential for understanding the ground conditions and for designing stable and safe structures.

Tailored Geotechnical Services in Perth

We are dedicated to providing geotechnical instrumentation services that are designed to the specific requirements of each client. This includes our technology and product ‘agnostic’ approach, meaning that we are not limited to any specific brands or technologies, and will always choose the most appropriate and cost-effective solution for each project.

Our team works closely with our clients to understand the specific challenges and objectives of infrastructure and its surroundings. We take these consultations, along with a deep understanding of geotechnical principles, to develop advanced and customised monitoring strategies. They provide clear, actionable data and enable our clients to make informed decisions that maintain the safety and stability of their projects.

Tailoring services to each site leads Monitel to more effective solutions.
