Geotechnical Data Management: Real-Time Data Monitoring System Types & Uses

Geotechnical Data Management is an intricate and comprehensive data management system. It is a centralized station for assessing the collective information regarding any site.

It incorporates archived data, application software, inventory of hazards, ranking matrices and so much more. Let’s go down to the basics and learn what exactly does it mean and what else is there in the data management system.

What is Geotechnical Data Management?

Geotechnical Database Management contains the monitoring reports and information of any small or large project site. To collect this valuable data, accurate and precisely-engineered monitoring equipment is required. Encardio-rite offers their in-house developed database management system with their world-class smart sensors and dataloggers. With their 55 plus years of experience, Encardio-Rite yet again proves why they are the biggest provider of geotechnical and monitoring services.

Being the leading service provider, Encardio-Rite offers an advanced geotechnical data management system that is adaptable and versatile. The software can collect data from multiple sources used in hydroelectric, tunnel, high-rise structure, bridge, mining, nuclear power and landslide applications.

It can correlate data from various sources and sensors like structural, environmental, geotechnical sensors; automatic total station, GNSS, and Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM). Our reliable services are not limited to this. The system is scalable and versatile for both water resource monitoring solutions or civil engineering/construction projects.

What is Real-Time Data Management System?

Ask any expert professional, and they will tell you that the most important component of any geotechnical data management system is a web-based data monitoring and presentation tool. Encardio-Rite offers Web-based Data Monitoring System (Real-Time) which is one of the World’s finest data management platform that can collect and process large amount of data to provide meaningful information at fingertips, 24×7, with instant alarms on critical events. The early warnings help in taking timely corrective actions to prevent damages, minimizing delays and operational costs.

Advantages of Geotechnical Data Management Software

Encardio-Rite’s data management software has several highlighting features and a few of them are:

• Easily accessible results via smartphones and tablets.

Types of Real-Time Data Monitoring System Offered

Encardio-Rite offers three kinds of data monitoring systems namely: DRISHTI and OPSIS and TerraWeb

Drishti — Data Monitoring System

Encardio-Rite has developed a web-based real-time automated monitoring system called Drishti. It collects data and vital information from different sensors that are used in the projects. It accepts inputs from various dataloggers that help in providing access on a single platform. It offers an interactive user interface, taking care of all database interactions automatically.

With Drishti, you get essential and real-time data at your fingertips for risk management. All key information can be viewed at a glance on customized screen options. The data can be presented in desirable formats, including dynamic charts, which is a very useful tool. It helps in analyzing and correlating the readings from multiple sensors, to analyze if any variation occurs.

While the list is not exhaustive, Drishti also offers google navigation providing sensor locations with latest data status, graph zoom-in view on both X-axis, Y-axis and Y-axis scaling for close inspection, comprehensive reports, history of logged data, moving average facility, etc. Virtual variable calculations is also available for corrections (temperature effect etc.) and re-calibration of …[Continue reading]
