Field of Application

Any construction job involving earth or rock is inherently risky because the geotechnical planning rests basically on theoretical assumptions. This is inevitable when materials in their natural state are involved in the project. This is, of course, particularly true for mining as well.

Since it is impossible to establish a priori all possible parameters and conditions within the framework of exploratory work, assumptions must be made which may later deviate significantly from reality. The observation of actual geotechnical behaviour is therefore imperative if a project is to be realised in a safe and economical way.

Ongoing monitoring in the course of construction is an integral component of the construction method particularly for conventional tunnel construction, including the New Austrian Tunnelling Method (NATM), to guarantee an economical and safe design, i.e. to effectively ensure the stability of the tunnel. This procedure is known as “observational approach”.
