Geotechnical Observations - Our Measurements Inform Your Decisions... The top three risks to quality in projects where geotechnical and structural instrumentation is of high importance are: 1. Using the wrong instrument in the wrong place 2. Installing and/or reading the instrument badly regardless of whether it is the right instrument and in the right place, and 3. Not being able to understand if the monitoring data makes sense in the context of the problem being investigated Geotechnical Observations mitigates all of these risks by: 🟢 Employing geotechnical engineers with knowledge of instrumentation 🟢 Installing the instrument properly, which we mitigate by making sure our field technicians are given time to prepare properly for a project and all installations are supported by an appropriate inspection and test plan with clearly identified check points 🟢 Advising our clients about the results that are obtained from the instrumentation and interpreting them in the context of the engineering problem To view our range of monitoring solutions, visit - https://lnkd.in/e9CcDxQs #GeotechnicalObservations #Monitoring #Instrumentation #Safety #RiskMitigation #MitigateRisks

The value of a monitoring system is only realised when someone trusts the data it provides, finds it meaningful, and uses that data to make an informed decision. That is what we do at GEOTECHNICAL OBSERVATIONS LIMITED. We can cover all the stages of the monitoring process, from specification to data interpretation and everything in between, but our main objective is always to provide our clients with trusted, high quality, and meaningful monitoring data that can then be translated into informed decisions. #ItsWhatWeDo #QualityFirst #monitoring #geotechnics #assetprotection #riskmanagement

Over the last few weeks, we have highlighted ways to improve the quality of geotechnical monitoring including: 1.     Choosing the right instrument 2.     Putting it in the right place 3.     Installing it correctly 4.     Reading and maintaining it properly, and 5.     Installing it at the right time However, the value of monitoring is realised well after the right instrument has been chosen, put in the right place, installed properly at the right time and read correctly. Doing all of the aforementioned tasks well will undoubtedly take time and cost more, but not doing them well or missing any part of the process will likely mean that when the measurements are most needed they are not of a high enough quality to be of any value. Specifying instruments in a way that allows the contractor to choose the instrument to be used on the basis of the cheapest available is unlikely to result in high quality measurements. Installing instruments badly, reading them incorrectly and not allowing sufficient time to collect baseline readings, might save money but will also result in poor quality measurements. The late John Dunnicliff had a golden rule that “the goal should be to assign each task to the people with the greatest motivation to achieve high quality data.” The greatest motivation is usually found in someone that has knowledge of how the instrumentation works (i.e., a monitoring specialist) and this is most effective when the same person also has knowledge of how the ground or structure is expected to behave. At Geotechnical Observations, we pride ourselves on being knowledgeable about instrumentation, geotechnics and structures.

Navigation Mode 🧭 Navigating through P&ID (Piping and Instrumentation Diagram) and isometric drawings during pipeline tracing can be quite challenging, but it's really interesting. Our primary goal is to carefully inspect the pipeline for damages, leaks, and areas of corrosion within the oil and gas infrastructure. Regular maintenance is key to upholding the pipeline's safety standards and mitigating potential risks. It's a vital aspect of our work, ensuring operational excellence and safety in the oil and gas sector. #PipelineTracing #MaintenanceWork #OilAndGasIndustry

Join our "Geotechnical instrumentation for construction sector". Some might still consider geotechnical instrumentation and monitoring works in the construction sector to be just a contractual obligation that unnecessarily delays progress and increases expenditures for a project. However, there have been many mega construction failures resulting in fatalities and millions of dollars in losses due to a lack of monitoring and design verification. A good instrumentation and monitoring system, with proper installation, monitoring, and data analysis, could avoid catastrophic construction accidents. These instrumentations play a key role in design verification and safety monitoring during the construction stage. In order to understand the importance of instrumentation, it is important for engineers to be equipped with knowledge of instrumentation, including the selection of the right instruments, their installation methods, and QA/QC in installation and monitoring. The objectives of this course are to introduce the correct concept and approach to instrumentation, from design concept to the interpretation of data, and to share good practices. 📅 Dates: 8th of July to 19th of August. 💻 Online course. ✍️ Last few places left! https://lnkd.in/dG5Bt_Qw

In the fast-paced world of industrial operations, staying ahead is key to ensuring safety, efficiency, and compliance! Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) are the backbone of your process safety and operational integrity. But how often do you actually review and update them? Anytime there's a change to your process, equipment, or instrumentation, your P&IDs should be immediately updated. But beyond these changes, regular reviews should be an integral part of your routine maintenance and operational upgrades. Don't Wait for a Problem to Arise Proactively managing your P&IDs could save you from unforeseen challenges. Whether you're planning a plant modification or just want to ensure everything is running smoothly, keeping your P&IDs accurate is a smart move.

A Piping and Instrumentation Diagram (P&ID) serves as a crucial schematic tool in the oil and gas industry, offering a detailed representation of piping, equipment, instrumentation, and control devices within a facility. Key Components of a P&ID include: - **Piping**: Different types of lines and symbols denote various piping categories, with indicators for specifications like size, material, and insulation. Arrows signify the flow direction within the system. - **Equipment**: Standardized symbols represent equipment like pumps, compressors, and tanks, each labeled with unique identifiers for easy reference. - **Instrumentation**: Symbols represent instruments and control devices such as sensors, valves, and alarms. Lines connecting instruments illustrate signal flow and control loops, often accompanied by symbols denoting signal types. Understanding these components is essential for professionals in the industry to effectively interpret and work with P&IDs. #OilandGas #Piping #Instrumentation #Diagram #Engineering
