Monitoring is of crucial importance to any underground project.
Whether in the preparatory phases or during excavation, proper monitoring, data collection and data analysis are essential to insure safety of the excavation work and of the existing structures close to it.
Underground Space Use
“The use of underground space is seen to be vital in a world where more than half of the population now lives in urban areas.
Further concentration in mega-cities is a trend which cannot be stopped.
The use of underground space can contribute to sustainable development, maintaining liveability and preparing the world for the impact of climate change. Creating awareness on the use of underground space in this respect is vital.” *abstract of ITACUS goal
