Geomechanical Instrumentation

Capabilities

Geomechanical or rock mechanics instrumentation is commonly used to assess the stability of surface or underground excavations or concrete structures, or as a means of evaluating design by providing quantitative data which can be compared against modeled or analytical predictions. Instrumentation is also used to diagnose and quantify specific failure mechanisms, all of which can be invaluable for original or remedial design.

DA Smith is experienced with the installation and commissioning of a wide spectrum of instrumentation for underground and surface mines, dams, tunnels, underground laboratories, and remediation sites. We have access to leading instrumentation through our many trusted, world-class instruments vendors. We can work with you to develop the most effective instrumentation program for your project.
