Case Study: Broadway Subway Project achieves real-time geotechnical risk control with Applus+ monitoring solutions

Broadway Subway Project (Vancouver Metro) adds 5.7-km subway monitoring with Applus+

The Broadway Subway Project, a major infrastructure initiative to expand the Vancouver metro, faced the challenge of mitigating risks from ground settlements and movements during construction. To control these risks, they engaged vendor Applus+ to implement geotechnical instrumentation and monitoring services, including their proprietary SIGTUN real-time data management system.

Applus+ provided an automated geotechnical control system that simplified project management with minimal workforce. The solution supplied real-time information for rapid decision-making, which helped prevent potential damage and enhanced the project's security and legal protection. This approach successfully reduced the associated risks of movement within the project.
