Conventional ground movement monitoring systems, such as inclinometers, face limitations including sensitivity to electromagnetic interference, limited measurement range, and high costs for deep monitoring. These traditional tools often struggle with accuracy, real-time data delivery, and are not suitable for continuous or distributed sensing over long borehole lengths. Moreover, many systems lack real-time notifications and cloud-based monitoring, making them less effective for early warning in critical infrastructure projects. There is a clear need for a more accurate, reliable, and cost-effective solution for real-time, long-range ground movement monitoring in civil and geotechnical engineering.

SMART GEO PIPE offers an advanced optical fibre-based sensing system for real-time monitoring of ground movement. Using light beams, it provides accurate, continuous, and distributed measurements along unlimited borehole lengths. Unlike conventional inclinometers, it is immune to electromagnetic interference, and offers 24-hour prompt notifications, multi-point sensing, and cloud-based data visualisation. The system delivers a cost-effective and reliable solution for extra-deep monitoring in geotechnical and civil engineering projects. It ensures faster response to ground shifts, enhances safety, and improves decision-making for infrastructure maintenance and disaster prevention.

The innovation of SMART GEO PIPE lies in its use of optical fibre technology to detect ground movement with high precision, offering real-time, continuous, and distributed sensing along unlimited borehole lengths. Unlike conventional monitoring tools like inclinometers, it is immune to electromagnetic interference, making it more reliable in harsh environments. It combines multi-point sensing, 24-hour prompt alerts, and cloud-based data visualisation, allowing users to remotely monitor structural health and ground stability at all times. The integration of these features into a single, cost-effective and scalable system represents a major advancement in smart sensing technology for geotechnical and civil engineering applications.
