Start where
you are
Every site comes to monitoring from a different place — no team to watch the data, a team stretched too thin, or no way to prove what you’re seeing. Find the situation that sounds like yours.
Different starting points. The same discipline.
DTG doesn’t sell one package. What you need depends on what you already have — the sensors, the people, the systems, and the gaps between them.
These are the six situations we’re most often called into. Find yours, and you’ll see exactly what DTG would bring to it.
Asset owners without a monitoring team
“We have the sensors, but no one to watch them.”
You've invested in monitoring technology — slope stability radar, prisms, InSAR, piezometers, extensometers. The hardware is capable. But monitoring only protects a site when competent people are actually watching, continuously, and know how to act.
- No competent coverage on nights, weekends or shift changes — exactly when incidents happen.
- Alarms trigger but aren't reviewed in time, or real ones are lost to alarm fatigue.
- Movement that precedes a failure goes unseen because nothing is being correlated.
- No spare capacity to produce weekly and monthly reporting, or post-event back-analysis.
- Sensor placement is never reviewed, so blind spots persist.
- We become your monitoring team — continuous, competent review of your data and alarms, including out-of-hours.
- Structured escalation the moment thresholds are breached.
- Weekly and monthly reporting produced for you.
- Failure and alarm back-analysis after events.
- Review of sensor placement to close blind spots.
Continuous, competent eyes on your site — fewer missed events, defensible records, and your people freed from the watch.
Overstretched geotechnical teams
“We have data, but it's not turning into decisions.”
You have a geotechnical engineer, but the monitoring workload has outpaced them. The data exists; the capacity to turn it into governed, defensible decisions doesn't.
- Alarms trigger constantly — real signals are lost in the noise.
- Failures and precursors are missed for lack of time to correlate.
- Each sensor type has its own separate report; nothing combines into one picture.
- No consistent basis for what to trust, or when to escalate.
- We structure, quality-test and correlate data across your sensor types into one governed view.
- We tune alarm thresholds to cut false triggers.
- We give your engineer defensible, combined interpretation instead of raw feeds.
- One overview, one method — repeatable and traceable.
Fewer false alarms, earlier real detection, and one combined view your team can defend.
Operators & consultants running client sites
“We run sites for clients, but have no geotech of our own.”
You operate or manage sites on behalf of the asset owner — but you don't carry in-house geotechnical monitoring capability to stand behind the data you're accountable for.
- You're accountable to your client for monitoring you can't independently interpret.
- No in-house geotech to review alarms, produce reports, or defend decisions.
- The reporting and traceability your contract requires needs a team you don't have.
- We provide the independent monitoring and review layer you place in front of your client.
- Delivered as your capability, or working alongside your team.
- Reporting and traceability built for contractual accountability.
Credible geotechnical capability without hiring a team — something defensible to hand your client.
Teams selecting monitoring technology
“We're choosing monitoring technology and don't know what to pick.”
You need to invest, but the market is full of vendors each selling their own system — and you want advice that starts from your requirement, not from a product.
- It's hard to compare monitoring technologies objectively.
- Real risk of buying the wrong system for the actual ground risk.
- Vendor advice is rarely neutral.
- Advice that starts from your ground risk and your requirement — not from a product.
- Objective comparison of the options against what you actually need.
- On your site, what we recommend is driven by your risk and your data.
The right technology for your risk, chosen with confidence.
Mature teams wanting assurance
“We want an independent second opinion.”
You already have the engineers, the systems and the process. But on critical assets, you want an outside expert to audit and confirm what you're seeing.
- Internal review can miss what a fresh expert sees.
- Critical assets warrant independent assurance.
- High-stakes decisions are stronger with a defensible second opinion.
- Specialist third-party review of your monitoring, interpretation and escalation.
- An independent audit against good practice.
- A defensible second opinion on the calls that matter.
Independent assurance on the assets where it matters most.
Teams needing an integrated platform
“We need one integrated view of everything.”
You have the people and the systems, but the work is scattered across tools. No single place brings every geotechnical sensor, report and decision together.
- Separate tools for each sensor type.
- No single overview; traceability is manual.
- Decision records are scattered across systems.
- DTG Focus™ brings monitoring review, traceability and decision records into one governed environment — built and running, and used in DTG's own delivery today.
- A single overview across all your geotechnical sensors, within DTG's wider service approach.
Straight with you: DTG Focus™ is built and running — we use it every day in our own delivery, and individual capabilities can be set up for your operation on request. Complete coverage across every source in one place is still being completed, so we start from what your teams most need to see. If a platform is what you’re after, talk to us about what we can set up for you.
An integrated, governed view of what matters most — with every decision traceable.
None of these quite you?
Most sites are a mix. Tell us where you’re starting from and we’ll be straight about what DTG would bring.
