OVERVIEW
MS Gecko’s fiber-optic sensing systems are ideally suited to monitoring the slow and continuous ground movement that can ultimately lead to catastrophic property damage.
Slope failures constitute the most expensive geological hazard for many areas of the world. Unfortunately, by simply implementing an appropriate slope-monitoring plan these events could have been prevented.
Existing geotechnical monitoring systems are often incomplete, and fail to provide a clear picture of geotechnical changes over time. MS Gecko’s system fully considers the contributing factors, and includes sensors for temperature and ground movement to provide real-time geotechnical monitoring over large and often inaccessible areas.
With a monitoring system in place, ground movement can be detected prior to a complete failure, allowing for appropriate remedial action to be taken. Contact us today to learn how MS Gecko’s SHM services can help your business avoid the costly damage caused by slope failures.

THE BENEFITS
MS Gecko Systems offers a building monitoring system that arms our customers with instant information received in real-time and analysis and results. It will provide every piece of information you need to allocate the exact spot and identify the nature of the problem, so that you can make an informative decision.
1
INTEGRATED SOLUTIONS
MS Gecko’s Distributed Structural Health Monitoring (DSHM) approach provides our customers with a complete solution, utilizing ultra-sensitive sensors, such as: MEMS, fiber optics, etc.
2
INCREASED SAFETY
Monitor infrastructure degradation and receive warning notifications to perform preventative maintenance and ensure safety of structures, rail networks, etc.
3
EXTENDED LIFETIME
Actively monitor geotechnical parameters to assess current conditions of existing infrastructure, and establish a maintenance plan for performing repairs to increase longevity.
4
CONSTRUCTION MONITORING
Put a system in place to monitoring slope settlement, and surface damage, and other geotechnical parameters.
5
VERIFY NEW TECHNOLOGY IMPLEMENTATIONS
Establish a system to actively monitor the implementation of new construction technologies and determine their effectiveness.
6
IMMEDIATE STRUCTURAL STATUS INFORMATION
Get an immediate status update about infrastructure health, including possible damage and failures, following adverse events affecting the location’s slope and surface.
SENSORS USED
Our philosophy is simple: the sensing system needs to match the reality of its environment. Given that a point in space has six degrees of freedom (DOF), our solution has been to match this complexity with an integrated combination of sensors that can be deployed to suit each customer’s unique needs.
- 3DOF Inclinometers
- 4DOF Accelerometers
- Strain gauges
- Humidity sensors
- Weather station
- Piezometers
- FBG and Distributed Fiber Optics
WHAT MONITORING APPROACH IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
The MS Gecko Structural Health Monitoring system can be deployed to effectively address both continuous monitoring and portable testing needs.
Customers seeking a dynamic system to perform diagnostics on the current health of a structure will achieve their goals with the MS Gecko system.
For customers looking to collect data and provide ongoing information on the behavior and health of their structure, the MS Gecko SHM platform is ideally suited for long-term monitoring needs.
MS Systems Software Package
Software is a critical component of any Geotechnical Movements and Landslides Monitoring System. Software help an understanding of the events that could lead to a safety condition of concern in the future is especially critical for early warning systems to assure that the appropriate actions and notification are initiated in a timely manner.
Whether performing a portable test in a certain area or deploying a long-term monitoring system, consider your software application needs for data acquisition, data logging, real-time processing and control, communications, data visualization and reporting. Probabilities (likelihood) of occurrence are then assigned to the different responses in the event trees and the probability of the scenario is calculated as the product of the responses.
MS Systems is your trusted partner for monitoring instrumentation in all phases of a project ranging from system design, installation, commissioning and training.
