Wireless Tunnel monitoring

Remote monitoring for tunnels
Continuous structural and geotechnical data from remote sensors

Tunnel monitoring

Use remote tunnel monitoring before, during and after construction for crucial data about the behaviour of the tunnel, the ground and third party assets in the zone of influence.

Trust Senceive technology for the tough demands of underground projects and to provide precise, reliable structural and geotechnical data to help you address the unique challenges of your tunnelling project.

Structural Health Monitoring for Tunnels

Our sensors measure a range of parameters including:

  • Tunnel Convergence and Divergence
  • Longitudinal Settlement and Heave
  • Structural parameters: Strain and Load
  • Joint and Crack Displacement
  • Temperature
  • Ground movement
  • Groundwater pressure

Tunnel Monitoring Solutions

The most widely used sensors are our high-precision Nano Triaxial Tilt Sensors which measure rotation about the horizontal axis.

Other widely used sensors are Optical Displacement Sensors for measuring tunnel convergence and divergence.

Additionally, our Digital Interface Node is a versatile digital data logger, compatible with various instruments like inclinometers, extensometers, piezometers, load/pressure cells, temperature sensors and vibration sensors, making it ideal for comprehensive tunnel monitoring and tunnel inspections.

Easy installation during tunnelling projects

Senceive sensors can be supplied with a wide range of brackets and fixings for use at any angle on virtually any surface.

Remote Tunnel Monitoring Capabilities

As with any of our wireless monitoring solutions, data is transmitted from the sensors via Gateway to the data viewing software of your choice.

In order to relay data from the sensor positions deep underground to the Gateway that is typically located just outside the portal, repeater nodes may be used.

Alternatively, Wi-Fi or ethernet connections can be used where available.
