2. Instruments Handled:
Installation & Monitoring of various types of Geo technical instruments viz., Inclinometers, In
place Inclinometer, Bore hole Extensometer, Strain gauges, Standpipe Piezometers, Open
standpipe, Vibrating wire type Piezometers, Tape extensometer, Load cell, Crack meter, Tilt
meter, Building Settlement Marker, Surface settlement point, 3D prism target, Bi-reflex target,
Vibration monitoring.
Job Description:
Inclinometer will be installed outside excavation area and within diaphragm wall (D-wall) to
determine lateral deformation of ground and D-wall respectively, due to excavation activities.
In place inclinometer will be installed within diaphragm walls to determine their lateral
deformation due to excavation activities.
Borehole instruments are used for tunnel monitoring zones to determine the settlements at
depths.
Strain Gauge is mainly used to measure the strain for bridges, pile, diaphragm wall, pressure shaft.
Standpipe piezometers will be installed outside the excavation area and in the tunnel monitoring
zones to determine the groundwater behavior before and after construction activities.
Open/PVC standpipe is used for measuring ground water level and its variation with time.
Vibrating wire piezometers will be installed outside excavation areas to determine the groundwater
pressure at different depths before and after construction activities.
Tape extensometer used for structure and tunnel line for the measurement of small changes of
distance between two points.
Load cell is required for measurement of load in struts and soil.
Crack meter shall be used to monitor change in width of existing cracks in critical buildings,
located within zone of influence of the project.
Tilt measurement system shall be used to monitor change in tilt of critical buildings, located within
zone of influence.
Building settlement points shall be installed to monitor settlement of critical buildings and
structures within the zone of influence of the project.
Surface settlement monitoring points shall be installed around the excavations and above the
tunnel alignments to monitor ground surface settlements induced due to construction activities.
3D prism target shall be installed to monitor 3D movement(x, y & z) of critical buildings and
structures, within the zone of influence.
Bi-reflex target consists of reflector mounted on a robust frame and to determine the deformation
of structure.
Building survey: Pre and post building construction condition survey works including
identification of cracks ,dampness, exposed bricks, missing bricks, exposed rebar’s, Peeling of
plasters, tube well / hand Pumps /bore well and their locations of the existing building falling
3. within the potential zone of influence of the construction and along tunnel.
Prepare and Submit the Building Survey report to the Client.
