How can you mitigate construction risks in urban areas?
It is interesting to see many broad solutions being mentioned, but as always, the devil is in the detail. Yes, one must plan ahead to manage risk scenarios. In the end, it all depends on the quality of information the planning is based on, and the quality of your engineering to carry out the works. In urban environments, any remaining risk may have the potential to escalate into wider problems for neighbours and the public. Geospatial topologies, the connections of services or the structural interaction between buildings and ground can be used to simulate and learn the consequences of risks materializing. This is the only way to understand the risk one takes and to decide how much one is willing to pay for risk mitigation or not.

What are the design challenges for Civil Engineering projects in areas with extreme weather?
In my experience, there isn't one tool or one step to solve this. It requires the collaboration of different experts, combining different information. When we start on the foundation, we need the geologists and ground movement engineers, possibly the hydrographical engineers to assess flooding and scour, structural engineers and material & construction experts. We need assessments, inspections, surveys and ongoing monitoring and then convert all these data into information to give engineers and asset owners reliable answer to their questions at any time. Extreme weather events require update of these more often. Before the event to prevent and make safe, and afterwards to assess any damage, maintain and return to service.

Our C430 I&M project involves the monitoring of the Advanced Works at Farringdon Station, London. Murphy Surveys Geodata JV (MSG JV) have been contracted to provide and install all Monitoring equipment using Geodata’s KRONOS as the Tunnel Information System. After the completion of Crossrail, Farringdon will be one of London’s busiest stations. It will be the only station where passengers can change between Crossrail and Thameslink.

This project required Murphy Surveys to develop/design and implement a one of a kind highly precise monitoring methodology to be installed in the MRI room in the Mater private Hospital (MPH). This project was under review by the RPA and the Mater Private Expert Panel attended by Prof. John Burland of Imperial College London.
Murphy Surveys supplied the Monitoring Database, remote monitoring systems and geotechnical instrumentation and personnel service.

This project was under review by the RPA and the Mater Private Expert Panel attended by Prof. John Burland of Imperial College London.
Murphy Surveys supplied the Monitoring Database, remote monitoring systems and geotechnical instrumentation and personnel service.
The Monitoring System designed can record and alarm any slightest movement of the Hospitals medical equipment, e.g. MRI Scanner. The sensors had to be waterproof and medical approved while it had to withstand and work under strong radiation and traffic during Hospital clinic hours. The whole setup had to be designed from the drawing board and many tests had to be carried out to convince all parties of the suitability of the equipment and software solution.
Murphy Surveys installed high precision monitoring inclinometers and level systems inside the linear accelerator rooms of the hospital basement adjacent to the Metro Stop Construction Site and on surrounding inner-city streets and buildings.Other creatorsSee project -
