Transformational Australian-designed displacement monitoring technology that’s enabling new business opportunities for surveyors and engineers. Routine displacement and settlement monitoring measurements of critical infrastructure has required a surveyor to be physically present on-site or the use of sophisticated monitoring equipment. This presents a significant barrier to entry for many surveying and geotechnical engineering businesses wanting to …
New technology means that governments and surveyors can leverage reliable and cost-effective continuous movement monitoring at more sites than ever before. In October 2022, a large active landslip at the Bogong High Plains Road cut off a vital transport link between Melbourne and Falls Creek, causing both community evacuations and negative economic implications for the …

Australian IoT GNSS pioneer Kurloo Technology has celebrated an important milestone in its global expansion with the appointment of Global Survey as their exclusive distribution partner in New Zealand. In 2022, Kurloo Technology launched this new displacement monitoring solution that has gained substantial interest and uptake from surveyors, engineers, and geotechnical professionals. The technology, accessible …
Introduction The use of remote sensing methods to monitor 3D deformation across large areas is rapidly increasing. Radar, INSAR, Aerial LiDAR, and Drone-based LIDAR and photogrammetry can all be cost-effective and unobtrusive methods for routine monitoring of slope and ground surface deformation over large project areas. However, one of the ongoing challenges with these remote …
Australia’s economy has largely arisen from a number of disparate industries: mining, tourism, cattle farming, construction, to name a few big players. But behind all of these industries, since the dawn of the 19th century, sits Australia’s railway network. Serving every sector of the economy in some fashion, whether as freight or passenger transport, railways …

Mining technology is experiencing an innovation boom as the industry is eager to address modern challenges surrounding sustainability, economic stability and operational efficiency. With the lucrative nature of the mining industry, the premium technology coming out of this period will certainly be the catalyst in modernising safety and operational improvements across many similar fields. This …
Managing ageing assets in engineering is a critical aspect of keeping the integrity andefficiency of industrial operations. As legacy infrastructure ages, it may become increasinglyprone to risk and failures, which can result in costly downtime and repairs. To minimisethese risks, it is important to develop a comprehensive strategy for managing ageinginfrastructure assets. The issue faces …
Earlier this year in August on a construction site in Canberra, hundreds of tonnes of earth, concrete and scaffolding collapsed into the excavation pit on site, prompting the ACT Government to ask all builders to ‘double-check’ their work. Builders were told to be more proactive in their safety precautions and ensure regular site inspections, especially …

Displacement is a measure of how much an object or surface has changed in position. In the field of geotechnical engineering, displacement monitoring is important to ensure that structures such as buildings and bridges remain stable and safe. Displacement monitoring can help geotechnical engineers to identify potential problems early before they cause serious damage. It …
