Abstract
This paper looks at the opportunities presented by the latest monitoring technology to minimise risk from movement, deformation or variations in environmental conditions such as noise, dust and vibration. Secondly, it outlines the associated methods used to review, analyse and validate monitoring sensor triggers in the cloud. Lastly, it investigates how a proactive approach to monitoring can reduce legal risk, engage stakeholders and improve public relations.
Keywords: geospatial; wireless monitoring; deformation; environmental; digital twins
