Geomonitoring - Construction Supervision

Parliament - Vienna

For several weeks now, real-time monitoring of the Parliament building has been operational during the ongoing renovations. In coordination with the Federal Monuments Office, the structural engineer, the Parliamentary Directorate, and the construction companies, we have comprehensively equipped the listed Parliament building with our sensors. These sensors can now transmit any changes in the building's position and height, down to the submillimeter, to the responsible authorities via remote data transmission, enabling timely action.

A particular challenge was the stringent requirements of the Federal Monuments Office, which stipulated that no walls or floors could be damaged or drilled into for the installation of the sensor network and detectors.

This installation of the most comprehensive monitoring system to date allows for thorough monitoring of all rooms in the Parliament building, with the Column Hall and the Great Assembly Hall presenting the greatest challenges.

Applications – Real-Time Construction Monitoring

We are able to use this online monitoring system in civil engineering and building construction for building observations, power plant construction, and excavation support, enabling continuous and precise condition monitoring and online tracking of position and elevation.

The geomonitoring system also includes local and digital alerts via SMS. Remote maintenance of the locally installed monitoring system can also be performed via the internet from the surveying office. The results are numerically and graphically represented time series with trend curves and 3D displacement estimates.

In combination with our drones, we offer a comprehensive system for real-time construction site monitoring and progress documentation. The integrated 3D analysis programs allow for precise 3D analysis of volumes and the derivation of any dimensions, as well as damage documentation at the highest geodetic resolution.
