Precision monitoring for infrastructure projects.
The South Georgetown Trunk Sewer project demanded advanced technical specialization, including settlement monitoring, noise and vibration analysis, and water quality management. EnVision deployed real-time instrumentation and multidisciplinary expertise to address complex microtunneling challenges, safeguard sensitive structures, and deliver reliable infrastructure improvements.
Real-time settlement monitoring.
EnVision installed settlement monitoring points and used Automatic Total Station (AMTS) instruments to collect real-time data, ensuring differential settlement was tracked and managed during microtunneling beneath sensitive structures like rail tracks and highways.
Comprehensive environmental services.
The team provided noise and vibration monitoring, pre- and post-construction surveys, dewatering, and excess soil management. These multidisciplinary services safeguarded structural health and minimized nuisance impacts for nearby sensitive receptors.
Integrated technical approach.
EnVision’s involvement expanded to include water quality monitoring and discharge agreements, delivering economies of scale and a consistent technical strategy that supported project success across all phases.
