Who we’ve partnered with...
What is Geotechnical and Construction Monitoring?
Our Geotechnical and Construction monitoring systems collect data on the condition of your assets and the environment around them. This data can be used to identify potential problems early on before they cause major damage. It can also be used to optimise the performance of your assets and operations.
At BES Group, we are a leading provider of structural health monitoring and testing services. Our expert engineers and technicians have experience in applying state-of-the-art monitoring technology to safeguard critical infrastructure against against environmental and ground-borne risks.
For example, we can use our monitoring systems to:
- Monitor the stability of slopes and embankments to detect and provide warnings about landslides and rockfalls.
- Monitor the condition of railway tracks to detect and provide warnings about derailments.
- Monitor the water levels in rivers and lakes to detect and provide warnings about flooding.
- Monitor the noise and vibration levels on construction sites to comply with regulations.
- Monitor the loads on retaining walls and other structures to detect and provide warnings about collapse.
Key benefits
Risk Management
Provide information to help manage technical risks. The data can be used to identify potential problems.
Real Time Alerts and Alarms
By monitoring assets in real time, potential problems can be identified immediately. This allows you to take corrective action before the problem escalates.
Proactive Maintenance
Help you make informed decisions about interventions and maintenance, which can lead to potential savings in cost and disruption.
Long-term Data Collection
By collecting and analysing data over a long period of time, emerging defects that may not be visible or detectable can be identified.

How we’ll work with you
We work with clients across all sectors to design, install, and maintain monitoring systems that mitigate risk to their assets. Our team of experts are impartial to instrument manufacturers, so we can integrate any sensor type into our data acquisition systems to meet your specific requirements.
We also have in-house design and production facilities, so we can develop bespoke systems with improved capabilities over available technology. We can provide:
- Slope stability monitoring: We use a variety of sensors to monitor the movement of slopes, including settlement, heave, and slippage. This information can be used to identify potential landslides and rockfalls early on, before they cause damage.
- Railway track stability monitoring: We use sensors to monitor the condition of railway tracks, including the alignment, level, and vibration. This information can be used to detect the potential for derailments.
- Flooding and scour monitoring: We use sensors and cameras to monitor water levels in rivers, as well as erosion of river beds and banks. This information can be used to identify the potential for and the occurrence of scour of bridge foundation.
- Noise, dust, and vibration monitoring: We use sensors to monitor noise, dust, and vibration levels on construction sites. This information can be used to ensure that the levels are compliant with regulations and to protect the health and safety of workers.
