MONITORING DURING CONSTRUCTION IN URBAN AREAS

Construction as well as deep excavation and tunnelling in urban areas have to be executed with the utmost care to avoid damage to persons and structures. The monitoring of displacements in the soil and at the adjacent buildings is an important tool for the project engineer to minimise risks and to optimise the constructional measures. Examples of automatic and visualised monitoring in Zurich and Berlin are reported.
