Monitoring of infrastructure projects both during and post-construction allows key stakeholders to improve decision making, manage risks appropriately, increase safety and provide quantitative real time data. Monitoring systems are an important component of construction projects that have complex geotechnical challenges, risk to the public or adjacent infrastructure, and when observation methods will be used to confirm design performance.
Monitoring can be used on the asset under construction and also on adjacent assets that may be impacted by construction efforts. This is especially applicable in dense urban environments, where surface and sub-surface assets are in close proximity to each other.
