The subsurface consists of various layers that can move under the influence of natural processes or human activities. These movements, both horizontal and vertical, can lead to damage to infrastructure such as buildings, dikes, roads and pipelines. By performing regular slope measurements, we can accurately monitor these movements and intervene in time to prevent damage.
MEET HET offers both manual and fully automatic slope measurement systems:
- Manual inclination measurements: An expert makes periodic measurements using a digital inclinometer placed in a pre-installed tube. This method is suitable for situations where continuous monitoring is not required.
- Fully automated systems: For continuous and unmanned monitoring, we use advanced sensors such as In-Place Inclinometers (IPIs) or Shape Accel Arrays (SAAs). These sensors are permanently placed in the subsurface and provide real-time data on displacements.
The measurement data is collected and analyzed in our online platform, where customers can monitor the information live. When preset thresholds are exceeded, alerts are automatically sent via text message, e-mail or an on-site alarm system.
Applications of slope measurements:
- Monitoring of construction pits and deep excavations
- Succession of dams, levees and embankments
- Detection of landslides and settlements
- Monitoring of tunnels and underground structures
Final results and reporting:
- Detailed graphs of displacements over time
- Visualization of deformation profiles
- Automatic reporting according to project requirements
- Integration with other monitoring data for a complete overview
With our expertise and advanced technologies, MEET HET provides reliable solutions for monitoring underground movements, essential for ensuring the safety and integrity of infrastructure projects.
