A simple installation of Sisgeo sensors on the Cassano D’Adda bridge

The “Giro d’Italia 2016” is now over, but our contribution is still present thanks to the installation of some sensors on the Cassano d’Adda bridge, located at the final rush of the 17th stage. The video shows how, with a simple and inexpensive installation, the abutment of a bridge can be surveyed. The monitoring system […]

What is a piezometer, how it works, available technologies and models

With this presentation, we would like to introduce the meaning of «piezometers», their classification (open and close circuit piezometer), method of reading (deep meter or electrical piezometers), available technologies (piezo resistive or vibrating wire sensor) and the main models available. Electrical piezometers include common vibrating wire piezometers, heavy duty piezometers, multipoint piezometers, removable transducers for […]

Mining monitoring instrumentation

Mine monitoring system shall be designed starting from the mine-typology: open pit mine or underground mine (cavern). In open pit mine is really important to monitor the stability of rock/soil walls with inclinometers, incremental extensometers, piezometers and wire extensometers. In underground mining become critical to monitor the stress and displacements of the excavated rock and […]

Landslide monitoring instrumentation

Landslides are monitored following different parameters like landslide type, layers type, displacement speed, etc… The most utilized geotechnical instruments for this purpose are the inclinometer casings (or inclinometer tubes) able to control horizontal movement into the ground. Inclinometer casing can be read with portable inclinometer system or with IPI / BH Profile probes (automatic Inclinometer […]

Dam safety and monitoring

Planning a performance monitoring program is an essential component of successful dam construction and operation. Dam monitoring is recommended to ensure the safety of a dam. Geotechnical instrumentation and structural instruments are used to determine the initial conditions at dam site, monitoring during construction, initial filling and drawdown; and assist long-term monitoring. One of the […]

Paleontological expedition in Mongolia

This is the short version of our paleontological expedition experience that was held in Mongolia in 2013. The full video is available on our YouTube channel following this link: https://youtu.be/DKl3QU0ASds

Costa Concordia Rescue operations

This video shows the simple preliminary operation to place displacement transducers on underwater jacks. Sisgeo is involved many other monitoring works for the rescuing of Costa Concordia.
