PRIORITY INDUSTRIES

Industries and project applications

Typical requirements range from groundwater level and pore-pressure monitoring to settlement, movement and structural instrumentation. Professional project experience is presented separately on the Experience page.

Landslide Monitoring

TERRASENSE provides geotechnical instrumentation and monitoring solutions for landslides, unstable slopes and areas susceptible to ground movement. Our systems help establish baseline ground conditions and identify changes in slope behaviour throughout investigation, remediation and ongoing monitoring phases.

Depending on project requirements, monitoring systems can incorporate inclinometers, piezometers, groundwater monitoring systems, settlement sensors, tiltmeters and survey monitoring to measure ground deformation, pore-water pressure and surface movement.

Automated telemetry and web-based monitoring platforms provide remote access to monitoring data, allowing engineers and project teams to track trends, identify changes and receive regular reports. Monitoring solutions can be configured to suit site conditions, project duration and specific risk-management requirements.

Roads & Highways

Major road and highway projects involve extensive earthworks, embankments, cuttings, retaining structures and interaction with existing infrastructure. TERRASENSE provides instrumentation and monitoring solutions to help project teams understand ground behaviour during construction and throughout the operational life of the asset.

Our solutions can include piezometers, inclinometers, settlement monitoring, tiltmeters, crackmeters and survey monitoring, depending on the project's geotechnical and structural requirements.

Monitoring data can be collected automatically through wireless or hardwired telemetry and presented through web-based platforms, providing project teams with accessible data, trend analysis and reporting to support construction management and asset monitoring.

Bridge Monitoring

TERRASENSE provides instrumentation and monitoring solutions for new and existing bridges, supporting construction monitoring, condition assessment and long-term asset management. Monitoring can help identify changes in movement, settlement, deformation and structural behaviour.

Depending on the project requirements, systems can incorporate tiltmeters, crackmeters, settlement monitoring, vibration monitoring and survey prisms, together with geotechnical instrumentation such as piezometers and inclinometers where required.

Data can be collected automatically through telemetry and presented through web-based monitoring platforms, allowing engineers and asset owners to access current and historical measurements remotely. Monitoring frequency, reporting and data presentation can be customised to suit project requirements.

Deep Excavation Monitoring

Deep excavation projects require careful monitoring of ground movement, groundwater conditions and the behaviour of temporary and permanent structures. TERRASENSE provides instrumentation solutions to help engineers and contractors understand excavation response and monitor potential impacts on surrounding assets.

Monitoring systems may include inclinometers, piezometers, groundwater loggers, settlement points, tiltmeters, crackmeters and survey prisms. Instrumentation can be installed within excavation support systems, surrounding ground and adjacent structures depending on the project requirements.

Automated telemetry enables monitoring data to be collected remotely and presented through web-based platforms. TERRASENSE can provide customised dashboards, alerts, trend analysis and scheduled reporting to support construction monitoring and project-specific trigger-action-response requirements.

Dam Monitoring

Dam safety and performance monitoring requires reliable measurement of groundwater conditions, pore-water pressure, deformation and structural behaviour. TERRASENSE provides instrumentation and monitoring solutions for dams, embankments and associated structures throughout construction and operational stages.

Instrumentation can include vibrating-wire piezometers, water-level monitoring systems, inclinometers, settlement monitoring, crackmeters, tiltmeters and survey monitoring, selected according to the dam type and monitoring objectives.

TERRASENSE can integrate instrumentation with automated telemetry and web-based monitoring platforms, providing remote access to current and historical data. This enables engineers and asset owners to monitor trends, compare measurements against established baseline conditions and maintain comprehensive monitoring records.

Tunnel Monitoring

Tunnel construction can generate ground movements and changes in groundwater conditions that require continuous monitoring. TERRASENSE provides instrumentation solutions to monitor ground and structural behaviour during tunnelling, excavation and associated construction activities.

Depending on the project, monitoring systems may incorporate inclinometers, piezometers, extensometers, settlement monitoring, tiltmeters, crackmeters and survey prisms to monitor ground deformation, groundwater pressure and movement of surrounding structures.

Our automated monitoring solutions provide remote access to data through web-based platforms, enabling engineers and project teams to monitor trends and changes throughout construction. Systems can be configured for real-time or scheduled data collection, automated reporting and project-specific monitoring requirements.

Mining

Mining environments involve complex and changing ground conditions, making reliable geotechnical monitoring important throughout mine development and operation. TERRASENSE provides instrumentation and monitoring solutions for open-pit and underground mining projects, supporting the measurement of ground movement, deformation, settlement and pore-water pressure.

Our solutions can include inclinometers, in-place inclinometers, extensometers, settlement monitoring systems, piezometers, pressure sensors, survey monitoring points and automated data acquisition systems. Instrumentation can be manually monitored or integrated with wireless telemetry for automated data collection and remote access.

TERRASENSE provides a complete monitoring service from instrument selection and supply through to installation, commissioning, telemetry, data management and web-based presentation. Our solutions can support slope monitoring, excavation, underground works, tailings facilities and mine water management, providing reliable data to help project teams understand changing ground conditions and manage geotechnical risks.

Rail Infrastructure Monitoring

Rail infrastructure requires careful monitoring of ground and structural movement, particularly during construction and major works adjacent to operational rail corridors. TERRASENSE provides instrumentation and monitoring solutions for rail projects, including track infrastructure, embankments, stations, tunnels and surrounding assets.

Monitoring systems can incorporate tiltmeters, inclinometers, settlement monitoring, piezometers, crackmeters and survey prisms, selected according to the project's geotechnical and structural requirements.

Automated telemetry and web-based monitoring provide project teams with remote access to monitoring data and historical trends. TERRASENSE can configure monitoring systems around project-specific requirements, including measurement frequency, reporting, data visualisation and ongoing monitoring support.

Building Monitoring

Construction activities, excavation and changes in ground conditions can affect existing and new buildings. TERRASENSE provides monitoring solutions to measure movement, settlement, cracking and other changes affecting buildings and surrounding structures.

Our systems can incorporate tiltmeters, crackmeters, settlement monitoring, survey prisms, vibration sensors and groundwater instrumentation, depending on the nature and objectives of the monitoring program.

Automated monitoring and telemetry provide remote access to data through web-based platforms, allowing project teams to review trends and receive scheduled reports. Systems can be configured to provide continuous or scheduled measurements according to the project's requirements.
