Verify the design
Compare real ground and structure behaviour with what was assumed.
Structural Monitoring
Geotechnical / Structural Instrumentation
Piezometers, inclinometers, extensometers and pressure cells that measure ground and structure behaviour.
Overview
Instrumentation turns ground and structural behaviour into measurable quantities: pore-water pressure, lateral movement, settlement and earth pressure. MYTHCON supplies, installs and reads instruments matched to the monitoring objective.
Instruments buried in the ground or fixed to a structure measure what cannot be seen: water pressure, deep ground movement, load and stress. This data verifies design assumptions and controls risk on excavations, embankments, foundations and slopes.
- Piezometers
- Inclinometers
- Magnetic extension meters
- Earth pressure cells
Key Benefits
Control construction risk
Observe movement and pressure as work progresses and adjust in time.
Wide instrument range
Piezometers, inclinometers, extensometers, load and pressure cells for different questions.
Reliable long-term data
Instruments are selected, installed and protected for the monitoring period.
Where It Is Used
- Deep excavations and retaining walls
- Embankments on soft ground
- Slopes and landslide-prone areas
- Tunnels, dams and foundations
How We Work
-
1
Plan the programme
Decide what must be measured, where, and the alert levels.
-
2
Install instruments
Place piezometers, inclinometers, extensometers and cells with proper protection.
-
3
Baseline and calibrate
Record zero readings and verify each instrument.
-
4
Read and interpret
Collect readings manually or automatically and report against expectations.
What You Receive
- Instrumentation layout
- Installation records
- Reading tables and plots
- Interpretation reports
Frequently Asked Questions
Which instrument do I need?
It depends on the parameter: pore water pressure, lateral movement, settlement, load or stress. We help select the right set for the risk.
Can readings be automated?
Yes. Data loggers can read instruments automatically and send results to a dashboard.
