Cyclops™

Cyclops™ is a robust geodetic solution designed for continuous, automated three‑dimensional monitoring of structures and surfaces. It enables remote measurement of displacements with sub‑millimetre precision, providing reliable insight into structural behaviour over time.

The system also allows multiple theodolites to operate together within environments subject to global instability, while maintaining consistent nominal accuracy across the monitoring network.

With a large number of projects delivered worldwide and a high level of measurement reliability, Cyclops™ is recognised as a reference solution for automated topographic monitoring.

Cyclops™: a 3D topographic tracking solution

Our Cyclops™ system has the ability to control the latest robotic theodolites to remotely monitor movements in three dimensions and/or perpendicular to a surface with sub-millimetric accuracy.

Our applications include the option to group theodolites together in order to cover larger surface areas and guarantee delivery of the required level of accuracy.

Our experience and constant quest for data quality allow us to achieve superior levels of reliability and accuracy, and are often called upon to remediate third-party facilities.

Cyclops™ and its applications

Any project or structure affected by absolute deformation (3-dimensional monitoring) or relative deformation (distance monitoring, differential settlement, inclination, etc.):

Structural and/or site deformation or movement: buildings, bridges, dams, landslips, mines, etc.
Tunnel convergence
Surface deformation of roads, pavements, rail track, etc.

Principle of operation

Our Cyclops system has the ability to control the latest robotic theodolites to remotely monitor movements in three dimensions and/or perpendicular to a surface with submillimetric accuracy.

Our applications include the option to group theodolites together in order to cover larger surface areas and guarantee delivery of the required level of accuracy. The Cyclops system can be configured to undertake readings in automatic, semiautomatic or manual modes, allowing to be adapted to individual monitoring scenarios and change as required as monitoring requirements evolve: frequency of acquisition, energy saving, changing visibility, changing area of influence, safety requirements etc.

The Cyclops™ solution gives you:

A solution for a multitude of different situations and applications: a standalone or networked system, with or without prism, fixed or mobile, and installed within the zone of influence, but referenced outside it
Sub-millimetric accuracy
A system capable of alignment with the phases of complex inspection programmes
