Applications of Geotechnical Instrumentation and Instruments
Used!
• Geotechnical instrumentation plays a significant role inthe field of construction engineering. It helps engineers ineach and every stage of the project. This includesInvestigation of site, verification of design, constructionsurveillance, quality check, safety and security. Here is arundown about the role geotechnical instrumentation plays
at every level of the project.
• Investigation of Site – Assessment of the site where theproject has to be implemented is done and site conditionsare characterized. Parameters like stability of slope, soil
permeability and pore-water pressure is checked.
• Verification of Design – With the help ofinstrumentation, designs are verified and the performanceis checked. If required the design is suitably modifiedbased on the reports derived from geotechnicalinstrument.
• Construction control - Instrumentation is used to ensurethat the work process is on schedule. If required itsuggests necessary changes in the schedule and helps inspeeding up the process, to complete it before timewithout affecting the quality of construction.
