Opifex Geotechnics Strategic Partnership

A retaining wall undergoes surveying to assess its stability as a part of Monitel's Strategic Partnership with Opifex Geotechnics in Perth.

 

We are thrilled to announce a Strategic Partnership between Monitel and Opifex Geotechincs! This collaboration combines our expertise, diverse background  and shared passion for solving engineering challenges, marking a significant step forward in delivering exceptional value to our clients. 

Meet the Teams

Fillippo Gaone, Barry Lehane, and their expert team at Opifex Geotechnics are renowned for providing innovative and reliable engineering solutions. By partnering with Monitel, a leader in trusted and innovative remote monitoring instrumentation, we can gather valuable data and deliver clearer insights and clinical advice to our clients.

Our Commitment

Together,  Monitel and Opifex  Geotechnics are committed to excellence precision and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the engineering world. Our Partnership is set to enhance the quality of  our services and success of our projects in construction, mining, rail and infrastructure.

Recent Project Collaborations

 

Here are some of the exciting projects we’ve been working on together:

Retaining Wall Performance Study 
We conducted a comprehensive study to conduct the dynamic time – dependent movements of multiple cantilevered and propped retaining structures. Using a combination of triaxial tilt sensors and surveying techniques, Opifex is able to  perform a back analysis of wall movements to improve future design approaches, providing more efficient and cost-effective retention solutions to our clients.

Load – Displacement Monitoring of Various Foundation System

Monitel supplies and install instrumentation across shallow and piled foundation systems to monitor the load-displacement behaviour of different foundations in varying soil conditions. This improved understanding of soil-specific settlement behaviour helps enhance future design methodologies.


Consultancy and Large-Scale Instrumentation Deployment for Civil and Construction Projects

Monitel is able to record short and long-term settlement movements with supply and installation of  instrumentation for  sub-soil layers and ground movements due to large-scale earthworks, and placement of fill. Opifex is then able to perform sophisticated back analyses, so they can gain clearer insights into settlement and is then able to  predict future settlements caused by various developments.
