Pocket beacons are essential measuring instruments for accurately monitoring vertical displacements of the subsurface. They are used in various sectors, including dike reinforcement projects, construction sites and in monitoring underground infrastructures such as cables and pipes.

Applications of Pocket Beacon

• Dike and embankment monitoring
  In large infrastructure projects, such as the construction of abutments of new bridges, pocket beacons are used to measure embankment settlements. These measurements help assess the settlement of the soil mass and monitor final stability.
• Construction Projects
  On construction sites, pocket beacons are used to monitor the impact of ground work on surrounding structures. This is crucial to prevent damage to nearby buildings and ensure safety on the construction site.
• Monitoring of Cables and Pipelines
  Pocket beacons are also used in monitoring underground cables and pipelines.
  By detecting movement in the subsurface, potential damage and disruptions to infrastructure can be prevented in a timely manner.
  Pocket beacons can also be applied to the pipe to monitor movement to avoid permanent damage.

Measurement methods

• Automatic measurement with total station
  For locations where high measurement accuracy is required, or where lines of sight are present between prisms and the station. Ideal for limited movement space or in urban contexts.
• Automatic measurement with GNSS receiver
  For open terrain or large-scale tracts, such as dikes or pipeline lanes. Quick placement without fixed set-up, with sub-centimeter-level accuracy depending on conditions.
• Manual measurement
  For short projects or locations with limited access. Our surveyors perform periodic measurements with leveling or total station

Benefits of Automatic Pocket Monitor

• Continuity: 24/7 monitoring without the need for physical presence on site.
• Accuracy: High precision in detecting minimal displacements.
• Efficiency: Faster data analysis and reporting, leading to timely decision making.
• Safety: Reducing risks to staff through less frequent site visits.

By integrating pocket stake monitoring into your project management, you can proactively respond to changes in the subsurface and ensure the safety and stability of your infrastructure.
