Overview

The Port Hedland Port Authority commissioned Ertech to construct a multi-user iron ore stock yard as part of the Utah Point Berth upgrade. In order to monitor the consolidation of the soil below during loading of the stock piles, Geomotion have installed a series of settlement and profile monitoring sensors, along with piezometers to meaure the pore pressures. The data taken from these sensors will be compared with the Geotechnical report and used to allow faster loading of the stock piles.
