Revisiting Our Impact in Tunneling and Geotechnical Monitoring

[Tunnelling under Highway] – Continuous ground and surface monitoring in Canada

Sixense Northern America provided the monitoring for the recently completed Watermain Replacement project (located in the City of Brampton and City of Mississauga), in Ontario, near Toronto. 🚧

Tunnelling was required below Highway 407 and Heritage Road, demanding precise monitoring solutions to limit ground movements, ensure safety, and guarantee efficiency throughout the process.

Here’s how Sixense contributed:

📡 Installed one AMTS to monitor highway surfaces using reflectorless points.
📏 Positioned two tiltmeters on the bridge abutment to monitor structural movements.
🛠️ Implemented reflectorless points in three remote arrays, surpassing traditional survey methods.

It was a pleasure to ensure this project proceeded smoothly & safely with the trust of our client! Sixense’s innovative approach not only provided the required accuracy with a higher frequency of readings but also minimised disruption by eliminating the need for lane closures during the installation, survey, and decommissioning phases. 👏
