Hey, look! It’s your friendly neighborhood Sixense specialist (Ali Tehrani) installing an essential monitoring system on Highway 400 in Barrie, Canada!
Monitoring a microtunnel construction is just another day at the office for our skilled professionals. With the precision of the reflectorless technology and automated total stations, we were able to guarantee stability and safety for the Sunnidale Road New Transmission Watermain Project.
Hwy400 Crossing Settlement Monitoring
This complex and ambitious project involved the construction of a microtunnel with a 1,350mm internal diameter and a 1,690mm external diameter steel lining, situated five meters below the highway.
Given the challenging nature of tunnel excavation, it was imperative to establish a monitoring system to effectively manage potential ground movements and uphold the stability of the surrounding area throughout the construction process.
To address this need, the client hired Sixense to provide an innovative monitoring solution designed to prioritize the safety of all individuals involved in the project.
Sixense’s Monitoring Solution
Thanks to our innovative solutions, we eliminated the need for lane closures, minimized disruptions, and kept the project on track. Additionally, vibration monitoring was crucial for environmental monitoring, ensuring that any vibrations generated during the tunneling process were within permissible limits and minimizing potential impacts on the surrounding ecosystem.
Sunnidale Road New Transmission Watermain Project Completion
It was a pleasure to work with Ward & Burke Microtunneling Ltd and the City of Barrie on the Sunnidale Road New Transmission Watermain Project.
Despite the challenges of this project, Sixense’s monitoring expertise allowed the safe completion of this project, which will eventually greatly improve the commute of thousands of local citizens in Barrie, Canada. The road to success is an easy one with Sixense!
