TERRASENSE · GEOTECHNICAL INSTRUMENTATION

Understanding Ground Behaviour

Geotechnical instrumentation provides reliable data on how soil and rock respond to excavation, construction, loading and changing environmental conditions. It helps engineers and project teams understand ground behaviour and monitor changes throughout construction and the operational life of an asset.

TERRASENSE supplies, installs and commissions geotechnical instrumentation for infrastructure, civil construction, mining and other projects where understanding ground conditions and movement is critical.

MONITORING GROUND CONDITIONS

Monitoring Ground Conditions with Confidence

Ground conditions can change throughout a project. Appropriate instrumentation provides measurable information on ground movement, deformation, settlement and pore-water pressure, supporting construction control, engineering assessment, design verification and risk management.

Monitoring objectives

TERRASENSE develops project-specific monitoring solutions based on site conditions, monitoring objectives and required measurement performance.

Manual to automated

Our services can range from individual instruments and manual monitoring through to fully automated systems with telemetry, remote data access and web-based monitoring platforms.
INSTRUMENTATION

Geotechnical Instrumentation We Supply

TERRASENSE can supply and integrate a broad range of geotechnical instrumentation, including:

Ground conditions

  • Inclinometers and in-place inclinometers
  • Piezometers and pore-water pressure sensors
  • Settlement sensors and settlement monitoring systems
  • Extensometers and multipoint extensometers

Deformation and loading

  • Ground displacement and deformation sensors
  • Geotechnical pressure and load monitoring instruments
  • Survey prisms and monitoring points
Instrumentation can be configured for manual, automated or remote monitoring, depending on project requirements.

WHY TERRASENSE?

Project-focused monitoring support

With more than 20 years of experience in geotechnical instrumentation and monitoring, TERRASENSE combines technical expertise with practical, project-focused solutions.

Monitoring delivery

We provide support throughout the monitoring process, including instrument selection, supply, installation, commissioning, telemetry, data management and reporting.

Instrument selection

We work with established instrumentation manufacturers and technology providers, selecting suitable equipment based on the project’s technical requirements rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

Technology matched

TERRASENSE Australia is an authorised distributor of SISGEO S.r.l. in Australia and New Zealand, providing local supply, installation, technical support and after-sales service.

TERRASENSE can also integrate suitable instrumentation from other established technology providers where required to achieve the most appropriate solution for the project.

FROM INSTRUMENTATION TO DATA

From Instrumentation to Data

From individual monitoring points to fully automated geotechnical monitoring networks, TERRASENSE provides solutions tailored to each project’s requirements.
Our systems can deliver reliable field measurements, remote data access, graphical visualisation and scheduled reporting, helping clients better understand ground behaviour and make informed project decisions.
