The Application of Time Domain Reflectometry in Geotechnical Instrumentation
The performance of road pavements and earth structures is dependent on the moisture regime experienced during their service life. One of the practical challenges in understanding moisture regimes in earth structures has been to continuously monitor moisture fluctuations in a nondestructive and reasonably accurate way. The time domain reflectometry (TDR) device shows considerable promise in ...

An Interview with Warwick Wood (Managing Director) at EarthScience Information Systems Pty Ltd (EScIS): Environmental Data Management for Contractors
As an environmental data expert, can you share your perspective on the remediation field and how your technology can be leveraged to improve the way in which the industry works? One of the biggest challenges we see across our industry is the retention of environmental monitoring data and access to it. For instance, contractors often share data with multiple stakeholders, whether as part of a ...

Load Cell - Application, Advantages, and Types
A load cell, as the name suggests, is employed to transform force into a readable electrical output. It is also known as a force transducer and converts tensions, pressure, compression or even torque into measurable output. They are many different varieties of load cells, including strain gauges, pneumatic, and hydraulic. The most common one is the strain gauge load cells. Strain Gauges consists ...

4 Reasons Why You Should Use Data Telemetry
You might be most familiar with real-time data and analytics in the context of dynamic business trends, the stock market and financial applications. After all, these scenarios require a real-time data feed in order to make decisions quickly, be pro-active and maintain the ability to stay ahead of the game. However, the reality is, many of us rely on real-time data all the time and in ...

How to Choose Geomembranes in Water Conservancy Project Construction
As a popular new technology, the geotechnical impermeable membrane is used at home and abroad due to its better anti-seepage effect. The combination of geotechnical impermeable membrane and geotextile forms a composite geotechnical impermeable membrane. The impermeable membrane protects the geomembrane from being punctured by gravel or sharp objects and prevents the positional deviation between ...

What’s the Best Landscape Fabric for Draining Water?
Tips: No matter what kind of landscape plants are used for drainage, it is best to use non-woven geotextiles for proper drainage! Today, let us talk about what is the geotextile drainage fabric, and the best landscape fabric for drainage, it is a kind of non-woven fabric, also called needle punch fabric, usually produced by polyester called PET or polypropylene called PP materials. The non-woven ...

Helical Probe Tests: Initial Test Calibration
Helical test probes of different sizes suitable for shallow (1.8-m) in-situ soil exploration and compaction control were developed and tested in different soils alongside traditional in-situ tests, including Standard Penetration tests (SPT), cone penetration tests (CPT), dilatometer tests (DMT), and in-situ density tests. The helical probe test (HPT) is a quick and economical test, which can be ...

Can I Use Landscape Fabric Geotextile for Erosion Control?
The performance of geotextile landscape fabric and its common function in civil engineering. The performance of geotextile landscape fabric. The geotextile has a melting point of 260 degrees and a specific gravity of 1.38 at a temperature of 20C. It has high physical properties of aging resistance and cracks resistance. When the humidity changes, the size of the geotextile does not change much, ...
