We specialize in advanced techniques for structural and geotechnical monitoring, providing reliable data for assessing the stability of buildings and infrastructure. Using cutting-edge measurement methods, we help minimize the risk of failures and support the long-term durability of investments. Our solutions are applied in commercial and industrial construction, infrastructure projects, energy sector, and railways, delivering comprehensive analysis for engineers and investors.

Services

DMT offers comprehensive geotechnical survey and structural monitoring services. With modern technologies and advanced survey methods, we provide precise results that help optimize construction projects.

Geotechnical Investigations/ appications:

These tests are used to confirm design assumptions and verify the quality of the executed foundation piles and ground anchors.

Driveability Analysis

is a predictive assessment that determines whether piles or sheet piles can be installed to the required depth using impact or vibratory driving methods. By simulating the interaction between soil, pile, and equipment, it helps prevent refusal, structural damage, or costly delays—ensuring an efficient and safe installation process before construction begins.

Dynamic load test

is used to assess the bearing capacity of foundation piles by applying short, high-energy blows with a hammer. Sensors installed on the pile record acceleration and strain, allowing engineers to calculate load transfer and verify pile performance quickly and cost-effectively.

Ground anchor testing

is performed to verify the load-bearing capacity and installation quality of anchors embedded in soil or rock. By applying controlled tension forces, the test confirms whether anchors meet design specifications and ensures long-term stability for retaining structures, slopes, or foundations.

Static load tests

is a fundamental method for verifying whether a foundation element—typically a pile—can safely carry the intended design loads under real ground conditions. This test provides engineers and investors with confidence in the safety, quality, and long-term performance of the structure before main construction begins.

Thermal Integrity Profiling

is a non-destructive method used to assess the quality and uniformity of concrete piles. By measuring the temperature distribution during curing, TIP detects defects such as necking, inclusions, or concrete segregation across the entire pile length.

Structural Monitoring

Construction monitoring provides answers to questions related to the use of the facility. Monitoring can be carried out due to construction work adjacent to the facility or during the use of the facility.

Landslide monitoring

involves the continuous observation of slope stability using sensors such as inclinometers, piezometers, and GNSS. It helps detect ground movements early, enabling timely intervention to prevent structural damage or safety risks.

Strain gauges

are used to monitor deformation and internal stress in structural elements like beams, columns, and foundations. By attaching precise sensors to materials, engineers can assess load effects, detect fatigue, and ensure structural safety under real operating conditions.

Crack width monitoring

is used to track the development and progression of structural cracks over time. Using mechanical or digital sensors, engineers can assess whether movements remain within acceptable limits or indicate deeper structural problems.

Inclinometer Monitoring

involves measuring horizontal ground or structural displacements, typically in slopes, retaining walls, or excavation zones. The system helps detect early signs of instability and is essential for geotechnical safety assessments.

Structural Monitoring

involves the continuous measurement of key parameters such as strain, displacement, vibration, or temperature in buildings and infrastructure. It provides real-time insight into structural performance and helps detect damage or deterioration at an early stage.

Noise Measurement and Monitoring

are conducted to evaluate sound levels generated by construction, industry, or traffic. The system ensures compliance with environmental regulations and protects residents and workers from harmful noise exposure.

Vibration measurement and monitoring

are used to assess the impact of construction activities, traffic, or machinery on nearby buildings and structures. By continuously recording vibration levels, the system ensures compliance with safety standards and protects sensitive environments.

Neighbouring Structure Photographic Documentation – buildings and roads

is carried out before construction begins to record the existing condition of adjacent structures, roads, or utilities. It serves as legal and technical evidence in case of damage claims during or after construction.

Planning

At the planning stage, we help select the most appropriate testing and monitoring methods, analyze soil conditions, and assess potential geotechnical risks. Early identification of hazards allows for proactive adjustments, optimizing safety and cost-efficiency in later phases.

Execution

During construction, we provide data for continuous quality control of foundations, pile testing, and real-time monitoring of structural loads and deformations. Early detection of irregularities ensures timely interventions, reducing the risk of failures and improving the overall safety of the project.

Operational Phase

Continuous monitoring of displacements, deformations, and stresses enables early detection of structural risks. With real-time access to reliable data, engineers and asset managers can make informed decisions about maintenance, upgrades, and long-term infrastructure durability.
