GEO-Instruments monitors structures undergoing renovation, repair, or expansion, providing early warning of problems and real-time data to guide construction sequences.
Monitoring Renovation and Repair
Commonly deployed instruments and monitored parameters:
AMTS systems monitor prisms on interior and exterior walls to detect movement.
Crackmeters and Jointmeters monitor existing cracks, changes in alignment of structural elements.
Hydrostatic levels, installed on floors and exterior or interior walls monitor differential settlement.
Tiltmeters monitor deformation of walls and floors and lateral displacement of columns.
Laser distance meters monitor wall-to-wall or floor-to-ceiling convergence.
Strain gauges monitor changes in loads on steel structural elements.
Vibration monitors warn when vibration limits are exceeded.
Monitoring Expansion
Expansion projects involve new construction. Horizontal expansion usually involves excavations. Vertical expansion involves structural reinforcement and foundation improvements. Instrumentation varies with the project.
