Ground Movement in Underground Rail Tunnels
From computeraidedsolutions.com

To monitor ground movement during excavation of a new underground railway tunnel, to provide a data history and to issue alarms for excessive movement.

A number of dataTaker DT515 data loggers were installed along the tunnel, and connected together using the inbuilt dataTaker networking features. Each dataTaker monitors ground movement indicated by a series of vibrating wire strain gauges installed into the tunnel walls and ceiling.

A dataTaker's Modem Manager and modem provides a telephone telemetry link between the dataTaker network underground and computers on the surface. Realtime data, stored data and alarm states are transmitted via this link.

 


Products & Services
Wind tunnel testing services provide test facilities and technical staff for aerodynamic testing. Tests may be performed on prototype aircraft, helicopters, trains, cars, or buildings; or for research and development (R&D) purposes.
Wireless modems transmit modulated data using electromagnetic waves.
Cooling tunnels ensure controlled temperature reduction in both batch and continuous process systems. They are similar to air convention ovens, but have no heating capacity.
Geophones are small, vibration sensing instruments that are used to measure movement of the earth, machines, mines, and other applications.
IC modems enable computers to transmit data over telephone lines or via wireless signals.
