Measuring ground settlement before a construction work
Table of contents
Description
Before starting a road or any other heavy construction project the site ground has to be settled in the first place. Otherwise the site ground might move during the construction process causing instability and affecting the materials.
To settle the site ground a heavy layer of sand is placed on top of it, and during a period of days or weeks the height of several settlement gauges are measured. This process is normally carried manually by a surveyor who has to spend lot of hours measuaring and keeping track of data.
To digitalize the site ground settlement process Soilspect has create the Spot ONE device, using an ArduSimple affordable RTK receiver with centimeter-level accuracy.
Soilspect Spot ONE
The Spot ONE is an innovative system for measuaring and collect precisely the ground height level at a construction site. Advanced GNSS technology allows the Spot ONE to perform real-time measurements and provide your company with an accurate picture of stability with a precision of less than one centimeter.
The Spot ONE is easy to install and robustly designed, making it resistant to extreme weather conditions. In short, ideal for use on a construction site!
The Dashboard
The Spot ONE data is automatically collected and stored in our online dashboard, which you have access to 24/7. In the dashboard, you can view and analyze all your measurements. You can also view plots of the amount of subsidence. This helps your construction company detect whether settlements are proceeding according to plan and intervene earlier in the event of deviations.
Exporting to Excel is also possible, of course, so that you can analyze the data and share it with other team members or clients. This makes site preparation much simpler and more efficient than before. Thanks to the user-friendly interface and automatic data upload, you do not have to worry about setting up or maintaining the system. You can get started with your measurements and analyses today.
This solution is cheaper, clearer and easier than current methods. You can find further information at Soilspect website.
