During stitch-grouting operations at the Hanksville Diversion site, the project team needed real-time insight into potential movement of foundation rock, surrounding ground, and nearby site features. Because grouting can produce localized changes in ground conditions, the monitoring program was designed to establish baseline behavior before work began and provide rapid visibility into any meaningful movement during construction.
Measure developed and operated an integrated monitoring system for Gerber Construction, combining automated survey monitoring, temperature measurement, cloud-based visualization, and stakeholder alerts throughout the anticipated three-month monitoring period.

Monitoring Approach and System Deployment
Measure deployed a solar-powered automated motorized total station (AMTS) with three control prisms and 14 monitoring prisms. The prisms were arranged to track movement around the grouting area, assess conditions on both sides of the fault, and identify generalized uplift or subsidence around the injection points. Locations were also selected to reduce the likelihood of disturbance from site traffic.
The AMTS collected measurements on 15-minute cycles from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. and every three hours overnight during baseline monitoring, with collection frequency adjustable as the project progressed. An independent datalogger and ambient-temperature sensor captured thermal conditions, allowing the team to differentiate potential construction-related movement from normal daily expansion and contraction caused by heating and cooling.
Through cellular connectivity, the monitoring data was delivered in real time to a cloud-based visualization platform available at the grouting control station. Measure configured user access, visualization, and text- or email-based alerts; collected at least five days of baseline data before drilling and grouting; reviewed results daily; performed monthly system inspections; and provided weekly PDF reports.

Project Value
The program gave the construction and grouting teams a continuous, data-driven view of site behavior rather than relying solely on periodic manual checks. Real-time access to prism measurements and automated notifications enabled the team to identify trends promptly and respond if movement approached agreed warning or alarm limits.
By integrating temperature data with movement monitoring, the system added essential context for interpreting the results—helping stakeholders avoid mistaking routine thermal movement for grouting-related displacement. The baseline period, daily review, recurring reports, and direct notification process created a documented record of conditions before and during the work, supporting more informed decisions at the grouting control station.
