• Geotechnical instrumentation plays a
  significant role in construction field. It helps
  the engineers at every stage of their projects in
  more ways than one. Geotechnical instrumentation
  is useful right from site investigation till
  project completion. A run down the use of
  geotechnical instrumentation for various purposes
  during construction of a project.

• INVESTIGATION OF SITE The role of
  instrumentation at this point is to investigate
  the site. This includes checking out the
  condition of the site, the soil permeability,
  stability of slope as well as the pore-water
  pressure, etc.
•  
• VERIFYING THE DESIGN After the design is
  made, it is required to verify the design
  assumptions and to see that they are as per the
  said design. Geotechnical instrumentation also
  helps in finding out the requirement to modify or
  update the design in later stages.
•  
• CONSTRUCTION MONITORING Through the
  construction processes and phases instrumentation
  is useful. It includes increasing the speed of
  construction without any problems like failure.

• QUALITY CONTROL This is the significant
  part of construction and geotechnical
  instrumentation is used to monitor the quality of
  construction throughout as well as to ensure that
  the construction is done as per the given
  specifications.
•  
• SECURITY SAFETY If any project is using
  geotechnical instrumentation during its
  construction process, it has an edge over other
  projects which do not make use of geotechnical
  instrumentation. The reason being, the ones who
  use geotechnical instrumentation can know in
  advance about any forthcoming failures, and hence
  they get time to cordon off the whole area and
  take the necessary measures required to avoid
  such fatal failures.
•  
• LEGAL ISSUES When construction is going
  on there are adjacent properties also and there
  are chances that the properties get damaged. But,
  sometimes there are chances that even though any
  damage is not caused to their property, they try
  to claim for hefty amount of money. Geotechnical
  instrumentation is like a savior at this time.
  With the help of it you can get evidence that is
  considered by the law in defense of your
  statements of not harming the property.

• PERFORMANCE Geotechnical instrumentation
  uses a variety of instruments which can either be
  purchased or rented as per requirement. These
  instruments include tilt sensors, beam sensors,
  etc for the purpose and the activities that it is
  required includes monitoring deformation, leakage
  , dam performance, slope movements and much more.
  
•  
• Hence, if you are a builder or a contractor
  and you are not using geotechnical
  instrumentation for your projects then think
  again and go for it as soon as possible and make
  your construction work faster and hassle free.
