Going into a mine can be serious and dangerous if the mine is not being looked after properly. Geotechnical monitoring instruments are used to ensure the infrastructure of the mine is safe and in proper condition. There are many different types of geotechnical monitoring instruments that can be used to do different things, but all achieve the same goal of keeping the mine safe. Some types of these instruments are: – Contractometer – Multi-Point Borehole Extensometer – Sloughmeter – Thermistor String – Instrumented Cable Bolt On average mines go through much stress, but often they undergo accidental man-made stress....

The words geotechnical monitoring instruments aren’t ones that you hear very often. However, these three words are very important for everyone’s safety. Below we are going to look at what geotechnical monitoring instruments do and what makes them so important. During Construction For verifying a hypothesis and design assumption For monitoring safety while construction is going on For measuring parameters changing during construction For ensuring the construction’s interface with the adjacent foundation and structures is sound. For certifying the new construction’s performance After Construction’s Completed Monitoring to ensure safety while the structure’s used. Evaluating how the structure’s working on...
