Notable Projects
Taiwan High Speed Rail (THSR) Contract C220's
NATM Tunnel Underpass Taiwan Second Freeway Project
Because the route of Taiwan High Speed Rail Contract C220 is planned
to intercept an underpass to the Taiwan Second Freeway at Km 97.5. A
plan of freeway deformation monitoring (FDM) program was developed to
monitor the effects of THSR Contract C220’s NATM Tunnel construction
to ensure that any adverse condition that might develop during
construction and could be detected as soon as possible.
In addition to geotechnical instrumentation monitoring, the FDM plan
consists of:
-
horizontal in-place inclinometers, vertical inclinometers, and
extensometers, supported by the Automated Data Acquisition System
(GT-10);
-
real-time Geo-Auto monitoring system; and,
-
automated monitoring system consisting of one permanently installed
robotic total stations and an array of 21 prisms mounted on the
surface of the freeway.
The 3D total stations are remotely operated and they automatically
collect three-dimensional positioning data on a set time schedule from
which displacements are determined and plotted. The collection and
analysis of the geodetic data are accomplished in a fully automatic
mode by Geo-Auto and Geo-DMS software developed By Geotech Engineering
Consultant Co.Ltd.
Geotechnical Instrumentation - Geo-DMS (Database Management System)
Software Contract
GEOTECH has a four-year contract with the
KAOHSIUNG METROPOLITAN MASS RAPID TRANSIT SYSTEM
Authority (KMTC) to provide 6 sets of Geo-DMS package of geotechnical
instrumentation Database Management System services for the MRT
Project in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. According to the agreement negotiated,
the main contractor of each contract has to be liable for the
installation, maintenance and reading of the instruments. The
instrumentation data is requested to transmit via email to KMTC’s
Instrumentation Database control center on a 24-hour turn around
basis., By using Geo-DMS Database Management System software provided
by GEOTECH, the trained engineers of KMTC will process, check, restore
data and provide status reports from instrumentation sub-contractor.
