1. Instrumentation Deployment: - Install, calibrate, and maintain monitoring instruments: - Ground Settlement Markers (GSM) - Rod Settlement Gauges (RSG) - Inclinometers (to measure lateral ground movement) - Piezometers (to monitor pore water pressure) - Deep Leveling Datum (for vertical settlement measurements). - Ensure instruments are aligned with project specifications and safety standards. 2. PVD Coordination: - Collaborate with PVD installation teams to integrate instrumentation with ground improvement activities. - Monitor settlement and pore pressure changes during/after PVD installation to assess consolidation progress. 3. Data Collection & Analysis: - Regularly collect and interpret data from instruments to track settlement, stability, and groundwater conditions. - Use software tools (e.g., Excel, PLAXIS, or specialized geotechnical software) to analyze trends and predict settlement behavior. - Identify anomalies (e.g., excessive settlement, unexpected pore pressure) and recommend mitigation measures. 4. Reporting: - Prepare technical reports for clients, contractors, and regulatory bodies. - Provide real-time updates to project managers on critical movements or risks. 5. Maintenance & Compliance: - Troubleshoot instrument malfunctions and perform routine maintenance. - Ensure compliance with Malaysian standards (e.g., Jabatan Kerja Raya (JKR) guidelines, MSIC, or ASTM standards for instrumentation). 6. Site Supervision: - Oversee fieldwork teams during installation and monitoring phases. - Ensure adherence to health, safety, and environmental (HSE) protocols.
