Geotechnical Monitoring

Want to determine the vibrations at your construction site? Need to know the impact of seismicity to the surface above your mining operation? In need of precise information concerning the inclination of your building pit walls? If you are looking for accurate monitoring systems concerning the position of your facilities, endangered slope areas or even offshore platforms, DMT Geotechnical Monitoring offers you suitable, future-proof technology and services – evolved from years of experience in the civil engineering, mining, oil and gas sectors.

At DMT, we are not bound to single processes and typically work with a whole variety of monitoring data from the fields of geotechnical engineering, geodesy, geophysics or noise immission and vibrations. Our in-house software solution "DMT SAFEGUARD" is an online database-supported system for data management and analysis and forms the basis of our complex monitoring and alarm networks. DMT SAFEGUARD controls and regulates the instrumentation, communication, reporting and the early warning and alarm sequences, regardless of whether your data is to be captured and saved several times a day or more than 1000 times per second.  The system can also be used to record all kinds of geodata, from temperature, water level or seismicity to HD video streams.

On this foundation we design, install, and operate customized measurement systems to suit you and your particular monitoring needs, while our expert geologists, geophysicists and geotechnical engineers apply their specialist know-how to assist you in the assessment, analysis and interpretation of the collected data. Extra support is offered by DMT's Expert Bodies for Ground Movement and Vibration Measurements.

Geomonitoring Instrumentation

In addition to our expertise and geomonitoring services, we also offer geomonitoring instruments and software. Our SUMMIT series seismographs are perfect for seismic measurements in different and challenging conditions. The SUMMIT M Vipa has especially been created for seismic monitoring.

If you need customized geomonitoring instruments, we can create your personal geomonitoring instrumentation solution.

DMT geotechnical monitoring - general fields of application:

  • Seismological monitoring with highly sensitive equipment to monitor and analyze induced and natural seismicity, whether above ground, underground or as downhole installations in mining, for the oil- and gas industry or in the field of renewable energy
  • Vibration measurements and immission control employing proprietary, cutting-edge measurement technology for monitoring limit values at industrial plants and civil engineering sites (before, during and after construction work) according to national and international standards
  • Geotechnical monitoring of object changes, especially in building construction and civil engineering projects, by determining convergence, crack and gap width, water level, water pressure, pore pressure, temperature and further parameters using state-of-the-art measurement technology
  • Monitoring of ground movements and deformations of the earth's surface, infrastructure objects, embankments and slopes, in structural and civil engineering, in the oil and gas industry and in mining by means of complex geodetic measurement systems using GNSS, total stations, laser scanners, remote sensing methods and more
