Automated Monitoring of Deep Excavations and Surrounding Structures
Monitor Ground Movement. Protect Structural Safety.
Hu Entropy Tech provides an integrated structural health monitoring solution for deep excavations, foundation pits, and surrounding buildings. Combining advanced vision-based displacement measurement, passive optical targets, intelligent data acquisition, wireless communication, and cloud-based monitoring, the solution enables continuous monitoring of excavation-related deformation and ground movement.
Designed for construction environments where structural stability and surrounding infrastructure safety are critical, the system helps engineers track changes in retaining structures, ground settlement, and adjacent buildings throughout excavation and construction activities.
By integrating non-contact visual measurement with conventional geotechnical sensors, the solution provides reliable monitoring data for deformation analysis, risk assessment, and early warning.
Key Monitoring Parameters:
Retaining Structure Displacement | Ground Settlement | Building Settlement | Structural Tilt | Crack Opening | Deformation Rate
1. Non-Contact Vision-Based Deformation Monitoring
Remote Multi-Point Monitoring for Excavation Safety
Based on oblique-axis imaging, Digital Image Correlation (DIC), and sub-pixel target recognition algorithms, the Online Visual Tracking System provides non-contact displacement measurement for foundation pits and surrounding structures.
Passive optical targets are installed at selected monitoring locations on retaining walls, adjacent buildings, and other critical structural components. The system continuously captures images, tracks target position changes, and calculates horizontal and vertical displacement without direct physical contact with the monitored structures.
Multiple monitoring points can be tracked remotely by a single system, reducing the need for extensive field wiring and minimizing interference with construction activities.
Measurement data is transmitted to the cloud platform for real-time visualization, deformation trend analysis, and configurable alarm notifications, helping engineers identify abnormal structural movement during excavation.
2. Key Features & Advantages
Non-Contact Remote Monitoring
Measure displacement of retaining structures and surrounding buildings remotely without installing instruments directly on every monitored component.
Multi-Point Displacement Measurement
Monitor multiple locations simultaneously to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of excavation-related deformation and structural movement.
Continuous Deformation Tracking
Automatically track changes in displacement over time, supporting deformation trend analysis and the assessment of movement rates.
Flexible Installation
Deploy passive optical targets at selected monitoring points. Targets require no external power supply, simplifying installation and reducing wiring requirements.
Real-Time Data Visualization
Access monitoring measurements, historical trends, and project information through a centralized cloud platform.
Intelligent Alarm Notifications
Configure multi-level alarm thresholds to identify abnormal displacement and deformation trends, providing timely notifications to project personnel.
Multi-Sensor Integration
Integrate vision-based displacement monitoring with conventional geotechnical instruments, including settlement sensors, inclinometers, tilt sensors, strain gauges, and crack meters.
3. Integrated Foundation Pit Monitoring Architecture
From Field Monitoring to Cloud-Based Risk Assessment
Visual Sensing → Data Acquisition → Wireless / Wired Communication → Cloud Platform → Deformation Analysis & Early Warning
The integrated monitoring architecture combines vision-based displacement measurement, multi-channel sensor data acquisition, industrial RTU devices, communication networks, and centralized cloud management.
The system supports flexible communication options, including 4G/5G and Ethernet, enabling remote data transmission from excavation sites to the cloud platform.
Engineers and project managers can access real-time monitoring dashboards, review historical deformation trends, export monitoring reports, and integrate project data with third-party management systems through API interfaces.
By consolidating visual measurements and geotechnical sensor data, the solution provides a unified view of excavation conditions and surrounding structural behavior.
4. Typical Applications
