GeoSonics / Vibra-Tech - Remote Vibration, Geotechnical and Environmental Monitoring Services and Consulting

GeoSonics / Vibra-Tech (GSVT) is an expert in remote vibration, geotechnical, and environmental monitoring and consulting services. 

Whether you need to monitor vibrations from blasting, record data on plant noise levels, measure dust at off-site locations, the movement of a slope or just collect water levels, GSVT's Re:mote Monitoring capabilities can save you time and money by bringing the field to you.  

Remote vibration monitoring systems

Your site data – anywhere, any time. That’s what you get with a remote vibration monitoring system that provides web-based data access.

GSVT's proprietary Re:mote Monitoring uses on-site monitoring to automatically convert your site data into valuable engineering information. This information is then stored in our encrypted database, the Vault.  

Since we provide a password-protected, customized project website for each client, you can access your secure information anywhere there's internet. That means access to fast, reliable field data without being in the field.

You can customize your GSVT Re:mote project website with data from multiple worksites and types of sensors, immediate data snapshots on actual site maps and automatic email or text alerts when pre-determined limits are exceeded.

Seismographs for mining applications

GSVT is a leader in manufacturing quality, user-friendly seismographs for all mining and construction applications. All our seismographs are complete vibration and sound-monitoring systems with LCD displays and heavy-duty twist-lock metal cable connections.

The cases are manufactured with the toughest structural resin available, protecting the most water-resistant seismographs on the market. Basic compliance-reporting software is included with each unit at no additional charge and all units are proudly made in the US.

Environmental monitoring of mining sites

Mining and quarrying operations can be overwhelmed by the need to monitor multiple environmental conditions. GSVT's Re:mote Monitoring units save time and money with their versatile configurations and capabilities.  

Re:mote Monitoring allows you to record measurements in multiple formats, at multiple sites. Once the data is in our secure database our customizable website interface allows you to graphically view the data and annotate it for variables like heavy rainfall, spills or other conditions, thereby permitting more accurate analysis down the line.

Whether it's collecting data on water quality or quantity, sound levels, dust or just weather conditions, our experts provide the means of getting your sensor data to you in a meaningful and cost-effective way. Supported by our instrumentation and analysis, your certification and permit processes will benefit from maximum credibility.

Geotechnical mine site monitoring

Mining projects often require data on slope movements, excavations, tunnels or adjacent structures. These types of projects require multiple sensors at locations that are often inaccessible.

With GSVT's Re:mote Monitoring technology the precision and detail will be provided to determine if it has moved or not. If the data exceeds pre-determined warning levels alarms, emails and text messages are sent to alert you.
