Settlement Monitoring

April 12, 2016 by Kodiak Drilling

Tunnelling-Induced Ground Movements

cgs_logoThe Canadian Geotechnical Society (CGS) is hosting a seminar on this topic on April 28.  You can access the information by clicking here.

We recently completed a large project with our MiniProbe machine installing settlement monitoring points, surveying benchmarks and other related infrastructure in connection with a large utility installation project.  The equipment we installed in our boreholes could be used by engineers and surveyors to monitor the potential for ground movements caused by the large tunnelling equipment used for installing the utility line.   The installation of approximately 200 locations required a small drill in order to access very difficult areas and restrict the ground disturbance as much as possible.  Although we did not use the direct push soil sampling feature of this machine, its ability to auger allowed us to install the points at a range of depths.  The very light weight and “tread lightly” features of the machine were a perfect fit for these installations.  We have now done a number of projects involving settlement monitoring with this drill; it’s proving to be a very versatile small drill.IMG-20150507-00046

Canadian Geotechnical Society (CGS) Annual Dinner

May 2, 2014 by Kodiak Drilling

May 21, 2014 – CGS (Southern Ontario Section) Dinner

Dinner-Plate-Clipart-300x287The annual dinner, which is always good food and a good technical talk is fast approaching.  It is always great to see so many of our geotechnical clients at this dinner.  There are usually hundreds of people at this event.  More information can be found by clicking Yummy Dinner.  Once again this year, they are having a settlement prediction contest.

Settlement Contest

April 23, 2013 by Kodiak Drilling

Settlement Prediction Competition

The Canadian Geotechnical Society (Southern Ontario Section) is having a friendly competition.  They are providing geotechnical data for a TTC construction site and asking for predictions on the expected settlement.  Submissions will remain confidential, but the person providing the most accurate prediction of the actual measured settlement will be identified and will win several prizes, including an IPAD Mini and tickets to this years annual dinner.  The fast approaching deadline is May 1.  More information, including a link to the data can be found by clicking Settlement Contest.

Date:  April 2013
