Industrial
Monitoring ground and structural movement in industrial facilities using Osprey systems.
Industrial applications
Industrial facilities such as plants, terminals, and processing sites often sit on complex ground conditions and include critical structures, buried services, and containment systems. Reliable movement monitoring helps you understand how these assets respond to loads, ground changes, and nearby construction so you can manage risk and plan maintenance.
Common monitoring goals
Typical monitoring objectives in industrial environments include:
- Tracking settlement or heave beneath slabs, tanks, and equipment foundations
- Profiling deformation along buried pipelines, culverts, and service corridors
- Observing embankment and bund wall performance around storage or process areas
- Detecting movement along access roads, rail sidings, and conveyor corridors
- Supporting long-term performance assessment and maintenance planning
Relevant Osprey products
OTS – Optical Tilt System
OTS is a bus of inclinometer sensors that measure orientation or rotation with respect to gravity, providing deformation profiling along a line or curve.
ASP – Automatic Settlement Profiler
ASP measures distributed settlement along a horizontal profile using a fluid-filled hose with pressure nodes based on the hydrostatic principle.
IPX – Automated Magnetic Extensometer
IPX automates monitoring of magnetic extensometers using a magnetic-field sensitive probe to measure displacement along a line.
