MONITORING UNDERGROUND CONSTRUCTION.A BEST PRACTICE GUIDE
British Tunnelling Society
Monitoring Underground Construction is the only guide to the
principles for development, design, implementation and management of monitoring
systems employed to manage risks in underground construction for clients,
project managers, designers, contractors and asset owners.
Monitoring is often a key risk mitigation measure for the control of
construction processes and protection of existing assets affected by
excavations.
Monitoring Underground Construction is structured to
reflect the main stages in a project, from objective setting to operation and
management, and highlights the roles and responsibilities of the various
stakeholders at each stage to help the reader avoid problems which have
historically arisen due to omissions in these areas. Case studies from a range
of projects are included to highlight the critical role of strategic and
well-planned monitoring programmes in the success of any underground
construction project.
Approaching the subject at the level of key principles, focusing on setting
objectives, strategic planning and the high level specification of monitoring
systems, and based on experience gained across a variety of projects,
Monitoring Underground Construction:
- is applicable to all underground works whatever their scale or global
location
- assists users in managing particular monitoring-related risks that occur at
each stage
- discusses the integration of monitoring information with works progress data
to facilitate interpretation and management
- covers monitoring undertaken for a range of different objectives and on
behalf of various stakeholders
- includes summary checklists for each stage of the project.
Providing best practice guidance on the use of monitoring systems,
Monitoring Underground Construction is relevant to all those with
responsibilities for activities of this type, including clients, project
managers, designers and contractors. The guide is also a useful reference for
third parties such as insurers and owners or managers of adjacent
infrastructure, who have an interest in underground works.
