Utility Monitoring
Local governments and private enterprise spend millions of dollars each year to provide basic utilities to the community. Water, sewer, and other utility lines are typically buried deep in the ground. During the construction process, utility pipes are often approached by excavation equipment, and in some cases, disturbed and damaged. Municon installs utility monitoring points (UMPs), SBPX/MPBX (Single/Multi-Point Borehole Extensometers), settlement monitoring prisms, among other automated construction technologies to immediately alert of any utility line movement.
We take initial baseline readings to understand the utility line profile before construction initiates. Automated alerts can be sent out if thresholds are passed. We will not only give early warnings of utility line movement, but we will also confirm when corrective measures have been effectively implemented.
