About Terra Monitoring
TERRA MONITORING has successfully been delivering Geotechnical instrumentation, monitoring and in-situ testing services to the Civil Engineering, Mining, Railway and Road Infrastructure industries since 1980.
We offer a turnkey solution, specifically aimed at assisting the mining industry with automation of tailings facility readouts. Terra Monitoring specialises in installing Vibrating Wire Piezometers and slimline VWP’s connected to remote data loggers with a comprehensive list of additions to manage your facility.
Terra Monitoring has consistently and progressively expanded its Geotechnical Instrumentation and In-situ testing equipment portfolio by associating with world-leading manufacturers, to meet the growing demands of our customers in the market. Our broad and long-term experience translate into our sales and installation teams being able to provide clients with the best possible advice, technical support, and aftercare service.
Geotechnical Instrumentation, Monitoring, and Testing
TERRA MONITORING is a distributor of Geosense Geotechnical instrumentation products in Southern Africa, and has strategically partnered with global instrumentation providers for world-leading monitoring instrumentation.
As the industry is moving away from wired systems, Terra Monitoring supplies and installs Geosense Remote Wireless Data Loggers that can fully automate readings from Slimline- and Vibrating Wire Piezometers to remotely record all the received data to a central control room. The supplied software will analyse the data and alert all the necessary personnel directly via SMS messaging should any triggers be encountered. The operator in the control room will simultaneously receive a visible alert on the software package installed at the control room. We offer various monitoring instruments that can easily be integrated into this system. Ask us about our integration and installation options.
