Monitoring

The monitoring consists in the supervision of occasional or systematic phenomena through the measurement of typical parameters to identify problems and possible solutions, know their evolution and improve their behaviour.

The number of indicator parameters, the measuring frequency and its accuracy are imposed by the phenomenon nature and criticality, by category, functionality and performance of mechanical and technological instruments, and by the speed variation of monitored parameters.

The monitoring concearn two fields:

  • geotechnical
  • structural

The variables investigated are broadly the following:

pore pressure
settlements
displacements
tilt and rotation
loads and pressures
temperature
moisture

Terra S.r.l. experience was consolidated in the following branches:

Dams
Structures
Landslides
Embankments
