It Is also useful when qualifying new suppliers. But many manufacturers […]

Vibration Monitoring For Construction Projects

Vibration Monitoring Construction

CTL now offers vibration monitoring services for construction projects.

Vibration monitoring services are often used to measure the level of vibrations in the ground as a result of construction activities. This is particularly true when a construction site is close to another building, requires extraordinarily heavy construction work, or requires work deep underground. Vibration monitoring services can help prevent accidental damage to nearby buildings, utilities, etc. and protect contractors and owners from liability.

Thermal Control Monitoring: An Important Component in Your Next Concrete Pour

Does your next construction project have mass concrete components?

Monitoring the temperature of concrete as it is poured and cured is one of the most important steps in the construction of a concrete structure.

Without the proper temperature, concrete may lose strength or durability, which ultimately affects the strength and durability of your structure.

Geotechnical Instrumentation Increases Stability and Safety

Geotechnical instrumentation helped monitor slope stability following a landslide.

Certain construction projects have more risk of adverse consequences than others. Projects involving tunneling or large transportation embankment fills, for instance, have a higher risk of collapse, landslides, or settlement. This may lead to damage to existing structures. Especially as the soil is disturbed, the ground can become less stable, increasing risk of adverse effects. […]
