Rock mechanical monitoring systems are used when long-term changes in an underground space or structure are to be monitored. Monitoring is most commonly carried out in rock excavations and mines, where the development of various rock mechanical properties and parameters can be monitored. For example, deformations, movement or stress state can be monitored. Changes in most physical parameters such as electrical conductivity, temperature or water pressure can also be monitored.
Using monitoring systems is an effective way to verify, locate and analyse long-term changes in an object. Almost all measurements can be automated. If desired, the user can receive a warning automatically when the parameters reach specified limit values. This allows changes to be reacted to in real time and effectively. This has an effect on improving occupational safety in underground mines, for example!
We offer a wide range of monitoring and control devices from different manufacturers. The systems are always designed for each site, taking into account the customer's needs.
Extensometers: A high-precision measurement system that is inserted into the rock mass to measure the movement of the mass along the axis of the instrument.
Convergence measurements: Measurements of changes in distances between fixed points, often used to measure the deformation of rock cavities or excavations.
Inclinometers: A system based on accelerometers that measures the change in the angle of its axis. Several different applications, used both on the ground and in the borehole.
