Settlement monitoring
Automated settlement-gauge measurements with GNSS
How Spot ONE measures settlement gauges and provides results in the online platform.
Why monitor settlement?
Surcharge and ground-improvement projects measure how the subsoil responds to loading. Settlement gauges make this movement measurable.
A manual survey round requires a visit to every monitoring point. No new measurements are available between rounds.
Automated GNSS measurements
Spot ONE is mounted on the settlement gauge. It measures automatically according to the project settings. Results are available in the online platform.
This creates three practical advantages:
- fewer manual monitoring rounds on site;
- earlier visibility of trends and unexpected movement;
- one shared dataset for the project team and client.
Accuracy in context
Spot ONE is designed for accuracy below one centimetre. Achievable accuracy depends on installation, satellite visibility, observation time and the surroundings. Soilspect assesses these conditions in advance.
Start with the monitoring plan
A monitoring plan starts with the number of points, the measurement interval and the intended use of the data. Soilspect turns these details into a project configuration.
