Geotechnics Ltd make final shortlist for Ground Engineering Awards 2010

Geotechnics Ltd were shortlisted for the Ground Engineering Award for Technical Excellence for our earthworks instrumentation and remote monitoring project on Weymouth Relief Road. 

 36 Vibrating Wire Piezometers, 23 Uniaxial In-Place-Inclinometer (IPI) strings (comprising a total of 126 sensors) and 2 Hydrostatic Profile Gauges (HPG) were installed to provide data during the construction of embankments along the new Weymouth Relief Road in Dorset.  

Remote monitoring was made possible by installing 5 multi-channel dataloggers equipped with GSM modems which transmitted data to an off-site server.  This processed the data and presented it on a website for real-time viewing by Amey, the Consultant Engineer, at their offices in East Sussex.  

For more details of the project please see our Case Study

The awards, hosted by Stand up comedian Alun Cochrane, were presented at the prestigious 5 star Grosvenor House Hotel, on London’s Park Lane.  Attended by over 200 leaders in consultancy and contracting in the geotechnical engineering industry, these awards brought together the key players in the industry and the ones to watch.
