Automated instrumentation is a fast-growing industry that is quickly becoming an essential part of the geo-environmental engineering practice. With relatively low cost, reliability, and versatility, automated instrumentation is key to economical, safe, and predictable solutions for most geo-environmental engineering problems.

ASI provides comprehensive instrumentation services, including the design of specialized instrumentation and datalogging networks, installation of instrumentation devices and setup on-site, monitoring , data reduction, analysis, interpretation, and consulting.  Our professionals design and assemble instrumentation devices and systems customized for special applications and specific project conditions. We provide advanced programming for automation of monitoring systems including conditional activation of other on-site equipment and systems, call-backs, and alarms.  With the continuing fast-paced developments in the electronics and communication fields, automated instrumentation systems with remote access are becoming the future trend in the civil engineering industry.  AATech’s engineers use advanced communication systems for data retrieval and real-time monitoring of instrumentation networks, including telephone, wireless RF, and network/internet connections.

Key Benefits

• Programmable instrumentation can collect data far more frequently, and with less potential for errors, than a surveying crew or an instrumentation technician. It therefore provides more reliable and more representative data.
• For long term monitoring, programmable datalogging is far more cost effective than manual readings, especially when frequent measurements or data collection are required.
• Programmable instrumentation continues data collection during extreme weather and other physical events when the monitored conditions are critical and manual readings are impossible.
• Modern instrumentation allows for remote data retrieval through various modes of telecommunication, which eliminates the need for traveling to remote sites. This also allows project engineers to retrieve the data directly which results in quick analysis and interpretation.
