Real-time data to manage geotechnical risk and support construction performance
Project success often depends on understanding how the ground responds to excavation, loading, and environmental changes. D.W. Kozera, Inc. develops and implements instrumentation programs to monitor movement, groundwater, and structural behavior, providing actionable data to support safe, informed decisions. From preconstruction baselines to real-time alerts, our monitoring programs are tailored to each site’s risk profile and construction activity.
Core Services:
- Vertical and Horizontal Movement of Soils (Inclinometer, Extensometer, and Settlement Monitoring)
Track horizontal and vertical ground movement near excavations, foundations, or slope systems to detect early signs of displacement and inform mitigation efforts. - Pore Pressure and Groundwater Monitoring (Piezometers)
Monitor groundwater levels and pore water pressure changes to support dewatering systems, slope stability, and foundation performance assessments. - Axial and Lateral Load Monitoring (Load Cells and Strain Gauges)
Measure axial and lateral loads on deep foundations, tiebacks, and structural supports to validate design loads and monitor behavior during construction. - Vibration Monitoring
Track construction-related vibrations and building movement near sensitive structures to manage risk and support compliance with local regulations or agency requirements. - Structural Monitoring
Monitor structural performance during construction activities, including beam deflection under loading/unloading and crack monitoring in adjacent structures, to verify safety and protect nearby assets.
