Planning & Design Phase: • Detection of areas of prior movement to clarify
liabilities in case of construction induced movement
• Risk planning management: identification of sensitive areas
Construction Phase:
• Measuring beyond the reach of in-situ instrumentation along track
• Complementary and independent measurements
Operations & Maintenance:
• Long term monitoring after in-situ instrumentation has been removed
• Planning of surveying campaigns for maintenance
