Construction

Reducing costs, increasing efficiency, and delivering safe worksites with wireless monitoring solutions

Construction sites are dynamic with a multitude of parameters, each requiring careful monitoring to ensure build quality and safety. Inadequate monitoring or lack of effective site data leads to unnecessary downtime, which is costly and a massive burden on budgets and timeframes to completion.

To help overcome these complex issues in harsh environments, reliable monitoring solutions are crucial to ensure safety, effective risk management, improved decision making, and ultimately increased work productivity.

Reliable wireless monitoring systems allow more accurate data readings in real time, helping to avoid unnecessary downtime on crucial projects.

Settlement Displacement Monitoring

Settlement/lateral displacement of the surrounding area is monitored by leading brands of digital in-place inclinometers (IPI's) / MPBX / extensometers / SAAs in real-time using Ackcio BEAM-DG Nodes.

Marker

Repeater Nodes

If deployment challenges reduce the range of Ackcio Nodes, Ackcio BEAM-RN Nodes assist in extending the wireless range of other Ackcio Nodes within the network.

Marker

Ackcio Mesh

Ackcio’s patented long-range wireless MESH network connects the Ackcio Nodes to the Ackcio Gateway. The mesh network is self-healing, enhancing the transmission reliability. The ability to ‘hop’ up to 12 times significantly increases the reliability in complex environments and offers the ability to increase aggregate range if required. The system is highly flexible and scalable.

Tilt Monitoring

Ackcio BEAM-TM Nodes bundle Ackcio’s long-range wireless mesh technology with Sisgeo’s trusted bi-axial self-compensated MEMS inclinometer, measuring the horizontal and vertical movement of the surrounding buildings.

Marker

Ackcio Gateway

The Ackcio BEAM-GW receives sensor data from the Nodes within the network. Ackcio’s Snape software that runs on the Ackcio Gateway is used to configure and manage the project. It also provides the option to push the data via FTP and/or API server hosting a software (selected) of client's choice.

Diaphragm Wall Displacement Monitoring

In-depth lateral and vertical displacements of the diaphragm wall can be monitored using a string of in-place inclinometers connected to Ackcio BEAM-DG Nodes.

Marker

Struts Monitoring

Ackcio BEAM-VW-S1 (1 channel) and BEAM-VW-S8 (8 channels) Nodes are used to connect to strain gauges to measure strain and stresses in the structs supporting the excavation site.

Marker

Ackcio Nodes

Each battery-operated Node acquires data from various sensors and transmits the sensor data wirelessly through the Ackcio Mesh network to the Ackcio Gateway.

Marker

Monitoring Total Pressure

Ackcio BEAM-AN-S1 (1 channel) Nodes automate the monitoring of a pressure cell which measures total earth pressure under the basement of the surrounding building.

Marker

Settlement Monitoring

Ackcio BEAM-AN-S4 (4 channels) Nodes are used to connect to liquid settlement array to measure settlement and heave or building response to excavation.

Marker

Monitoring Pore Water Pressure

Piezometers measuring the underground pore water pressure are monitored in real-time using Ackcio BEAM-VW-S1 (1 channel) and BEAM-VW-S8 (8 channels) Nodes.

Marker

Ground Anchor Monitoring

Ackcio BEAM-VW-S1 (1 channel) and BEAM-VW-S8 (8 channels) Nodes monitor strain gauges and load cells inserted in the soil nails/ground anchors, to monitor their tension and bending resistance in real time.
