Chimney Monitoring

After a long planning phase, construction will begin on a lakeside property. The listed historic chimney is to be preserved. Due to the challenging ground conditions, settlement is to be expected.

OLIG AG was commissioned by the client to monitor the chimney. Throughout the entire construction period, the 39-metre-high chimney is being monitored using automated geomonitoring. Using a lifting platform, a total of 10 prisms were installed on the chimney so that its displacement and inclination can be tracked. The site management and engineers have access to the automatically published measurement results on the GeoVIS platform and are therefore always up to date. To ensure that the chimney’s natural behaviour-which is strongly influenced by weather conditions-can be identified, the installation was carried out several weeks before excavation began.

We look forward to this exciting assignment and thank you for the excellent cooperation.
