Monitoring & Risk Control for Foundations and Deep Excavations
At Sixense, we help contractors and developers manage ground-related risks during foundation construction and deep excavation works.
Piling, diaphragm walls, basement excavation and dewatering operations introduce significant geotechnical and structural risks — particularly in dense urban environments where adjacent buildings, utilities and transport corridors must be protected.
Controlling Ground Behaviour and Construction Impacts
Foundation works must be carefully monitored to manage:
- Ground movement and settlement
- Retaining wall deflection
- Pore pressure and groundwater variation
- Structural response of neighbouring assets
- Vibration and environmental impacts
Early detection of abnormal movement or pressure changes is critical to maintaining safety, program certainty and stakeholder confidence.
Integrated Monitoring Solutions
We provide the full range of geotechnical, structural and environmental instrumentation required to control excavation and foundation risk.
Our services include:
- Monitoring strategy development
- Supply, installation and commissioning of sensors
- Automated data acquisition and threshold-based alerting
- Ongoing monitoring management and reporting
- Vibration and environmental impacts
All monitoring data is integrated within Beyond Monitoring, which delivers real-time dashboards, automated alarms and instant reporting — enabling rapid response to emerging risks and providing defensible records for project stakeholders.
By combining field expertise with advanced monitoring technology, we enable safer excavation, reduced third-party risk and improved project certainty.
