Remote measurement & monitoring  is our speciality. For the past 20 years we have monitored critical infrastructure, buildings, mining operations, tailings dams, bridges, construction sites, settlement, slopes and much, much more,

As technology has evolved, so the methodologies have evolved. Once upon a time it was OK to have a bunch of monolithic systems monitoring different aspects on projects. Perhaps there would be a geotechnical monitoring system, an environmental system, a geodetic system, and a seismic system. Each would sit within its own monolithic empire, and data exchange was rare and difficult.

This has all changed, but not necessarily been realized, with the advent of the Cloud. There are now so many excellent products for data storage and integration, analytics and visualization that it just doesn’t make sense to stay with the monoliths (see our short video here).

We have partnered with some of the leading monitoring equipment manafacturers. Whether you need to measure a million devices once an hour, or one device 1000’s of times per second – we have the solution.

We use AWS cloud infrastructure to power our applications. Inbuilt storage, data management and integration, analytics and visualization tools help us some of the way.

We also use Tableau for extra special visualisations, and we have a full-stack Java / React capability to really take it to the next level.

An example is useful to illustrate this: slope stability is highly dependent on groundwater conditions, which in turn depend on rainfall. Other factors including wind direction, velocity and tides can influence coastal slopes. Predicted and actual rainfall can be integrated into the monitoring system, along with any other pertinent information. Smart Analytics can then be used to estimate the risk of failure.

Using yesterday’s data (historic measurements), today’s data (from sensors in the field) and tomorrow’s data (from predictive sources like the weather bureau), can improve our understanding of when risk events are likely to happen.

This video shows how this can be done. Imagine integrating this with your field measurements! Talk to us now.

Our seismometers are installed in Asia, Europe, North America and Australasia. Talk to us for your next project.

We are an AWS partner, and focus our applications around AWS infrastructure. Neverthess, there are times when the cloud is too far away, and we need to go local, either with EDGE computing, or a hybrid system.

Using spreadsheets for critical data? You know the risks. Let us convert your spreadsheets into cloud-based apps, so your people can input data directly onto secure infrastructure.
