Monitoring Underground and Surface Conditions During Construction of the Los Angeles Outfall Tunnel

๐Ÿ‘ทโ€โ™‚๏ธSince 2018, our teams from Sixense Northern America have been monitoring underground and surface conditions during construction of the LA Outfall as part of the hashtagClearwaterProject, in Los Angeles, California, which aims to protect local waterways by replacing aging infrastructure.

This 11.25km long, 5.5m diameter tunnel connects the Carson Wastewater Treatment Plant and the Royal Palms Beach Outfall to the ocean.

To ensure the safety of the roads, public services and neighborhoods of the city through which this tunnel passes, we are using a variety of advanced tools to monitor the works:
