Implementation of a successful geotechnical instrumentation & monitoring scheme in urban tunnelling project: a case study of Forrestfield-Airport Link Project, Perth, Western Australia

Instrumentation and monitoring is an integral part of any underground construction process. It helps to control excavation and verify design assumptions. A good monitoring program can provide safety against failure with early warnings and also provides legal protection to the designer and contractor. A critical requirement of the instrumentation & monitoring program is to present data in an accessible and meaningful graphical format on a real or near-real time basis to the stake holders, irrespective of their location across the world. The system should also be able to generate timely automated notifications through E-mail and/or SMS to stake holders in the event of exceedance of any control parameters for prompt application of remedial measures. This paper deals with the implementation of the geotechnical instrumentation and monitoring design of the Forrestfield-Airport Link Project in Perth, Western Australia, data management and presentation through a web based near real-time data management system.
