Geotechnical monitoring
Geotechnical monitoring measures how the ground and supporting structures respond to construction and changing environmental conditions. Starmass integrates ground movement, settlement and related instrumentation with structural monitoring and project reporting.
Connect ground behavior with the structures it affects.
Excavation, foundation works and groundwater changes can influence adjacent buildings, utilities and transport assets. Monitoring begins with the ground conditions, construction sequence and the engineering assessment of potential movement. The system then brings instrument readings, survey records and site observations together, allowing the responsible geotechnical and structural teams to review changes against agreed project criteria.
Settlement and deformation
Establish reference measurements and track changes in ground and structural geometry. Survey techniques and displacement instruments are selected according to required accuracy, access and expected movement.
Excavation and foundation works
Coordinate observations around excavation stages, retaining structures, piling and nearby assets. A monitoring schedule follows the construction activities most likely to change ground or structural behavior.
Integrated interpretation
Connect movement readings with groundwater, vibration and site records where relevant to the scope. Data validation, engineering review and clear escalation paths support timely investigation of unusual changes.
Applications
- Excavations and retaining structures near occupied buildings or utilities.
- Tunnels, foundations and ground improvement works.
- Slopes and infrastructure corridors where ground movement or subsidence requires review.
