Geotechnical monitoring of open-pit mines and tunnels
Slopes, pit walls, tunnel linings and the ground above the drive are moving all the time — and groundwater conditions change faster than a manual measurement schedule can follow. Inclify collects displacements, pore pressures and vibration continuously, so that decisions about the progress of the works rest on data rather than on intuition.
What we measure in an open pit and in a tunnel
One panel for every geotechnical measurement on the project — from the slope to the structures alongside the tunnel alignment.
Slope and pit wall stability
Inclinometers and displacement measurements reveal the trend of slope movement before anything is visible on site. Thresholds are set both on values and on rate of change.
Tunnel lining deformation
Strain and displacement of the lining during driving and in service — how the structure behaves relative to the baseline reading, section by section.
Ground settlement
Settlement above the tunnel and within the zone of influence of the works — continuous measurement instead of periodic campaigns, with a full history for comparing the successive stages of driving.
Neighbouring structures
Buildings and infrastructure within the zone of influence of the works: tilt and displacement with a full measurement history — documentation that settles disputes about the impact of construction.
Groundwater and pore pressures
Piezometers keep watch on water levels and pore pressures in slopes and around excavations — the parameter that decides stability after rainfall and thaw.
Blast-induced vibration
Automatic FFT analysis of vibration waveforms: RMS and peak values with alarm thresholds applied to the results — for every blast, with no manual processing.
Geotechnics does not wait for the quarterly report
Groundwater conditions change with rainfall, with the progress of the works and with every blast. Continuous measurement turns isolated readings into trends — and trends into decisions about the pace of the works, dewatering and support measures.
- Unattended readings every 15 min by default, or more often from every measurement point on the project
- Warning and alarm thresholds plus no-data supervision on every channel
- Real-time SMS, e-mail and push alerts to the people responsible for the works
- Baseline reading and your own calculation equations — results in engineering quantities
- Integration with existing data loggers and CSV/XLSX exports for the site documentation
A measurement system built for work in the field
Measurement points in an open pit are a long way from the office. The system has to run on its own — and leave a trace of every change.
Inclinometers, piezometers, vibrating wire sensors, strain gauges, accelerometers and temperature — every channel on the project in a single panel.
Vibrating wire sensors hold their readings stable for more than 20 years — matched to the service life of a mine and a tunnel.
Complete signal waveforms analysed automatically: spectrum, RMS, peak values — with alarm thresholds applied to the analysis results.
Every change to a threshold, an equation or a baseline is recorded: who, what, when. The project log ties the measurements to the events on site.
