Do you want to minimize risks during construction or infrastructure projects and prevent damage to surroundings or construction? Geomonitoring provides insight into soil behavior, vibrations and groundwater levels. Early detection of anomalies prevents delays and additional costs. SOCOTEC Netherlands helps you set up and implement reliable monitoring systems. In this page you can read what geomonitoring entails, why it is important and what services we offer.
Geomonitoring is the continuous or periodic measurement of environmental factors during construction, demolition or infrastructure projects. It allows you to monitor the safety of structures, infrastructure and the immediate surroundings. Whether vibrations, subsidence, groundwater levels or cracking are involved, SOCOTEC offers appropriate solutions for every situation.
Our support includes:
- Geotechnical monitoring: such as measuring soil deformations, settlements and displacements around foundations or sheet piling.
- Groundwater monitoring: including measuring head, pressure differences and groundwater quality in construction pits or remediation projects.
- Environmental monitoring: including vibration measurements, noise measurements and crack measurements at adjacent properties or vulnerable objects.
With our expertise and advanced equipment, we provide reliable data, clear reports and practical recommendations. This helps not only in risk management, but also in complying with permit requirements or contractual obligations.
SOCOTEC provides both temporary measurement set-ups for short-term projects and permanent monitoring for long-term projects. We think along with you from the preliminary stage through to the report.
