Geotechnical instrumentation is important because they do major task at the time of construction engineering. It helps the engineers almost in every phase of the project. it includes construction surveillance, security, quality check, safety, verification of the designs, investigation of the site etc. below we have mentioned few points which will help you in knowing how geotechnical instrumentation perform at different stages of the project.
Verification of the designs: Through geotechnical instrumentation the designs can be verified as well as performance can be checked. If needed the designs are suitably modified based on the information’s deprived from the geotechnical instrument.
Site investigation: Assessment of site where project should be implemented being done and the site conditions are featured. Parameters like soil permeability; parameters such as stability of the slope, pore-water pressure can be checked.
Construction control: geotechnical instrumentation is being used to make sure whether the work procedure is on the schedule. If needed it suggests particular changes in schedule and in making the process simple and fast, to complete it prior without affecting construction quality.
Geotechnical instrumentation is used as a geotechnical monitoring instrument for the safety of the mega structures such as bridges, dams etc. also. Some of the geotechnical instrumentations are settlement gauges, inclinometer, extensometers, piezometers and tilt sensors.
