Embankment Monitoring – SOCOTEC Poland: Advanced Solutions for Ground Stability
SOCOTEC Poland offers specialized monitoring for rail and road embankments on weak bearing grounds. We use advanced techniques to ensure soil stability and safety, addressing potential issues early to ensure the success and longevity of infrastructure projects.
Key Monitoring Aspects
The monitoring of embankments involves the analysis of several crucial parameters that help detect issues before they escalate into emergencies:
- Vertical Displacements: Monitoring shifts in the embankment and/or foundations to ensure stability.
- Groundwater and Pore Pressure: Tracking changes in groundwater levels and pore pressure to assess the impact on the embankment.
- Horizontal Displacement: Measuring horizontal shifts in the embankment to detect potential risks.

Monitoring of embankments
Our method
SOCOTEC Poland uses state-of-the-art instruments for comprehensive embankment monitoring, carefully selected based on the ground's characteristics and expected behavior. These instruments allow us to measure and analyze the necessary parameters in real-time.
- Piezometers: Open, closed, and pore pressure piezometers are used to monitor groundwater levels and pore pressure.
- Geodetic Measurements: We use GNSS, leveling, and pit benchmarks to track ground benchmarks with high accuracy.
- Hydraulic Profilometers: These devices help assess changes in soil conditions over time.
- Inclinometers (Vertical/Horizontal): Used to measure the displacements of embankments and foundations.
- Extensometers: Monitors the deformation and expansion of soil layers during consolidation.
