30 years ago” as Brian Isherwood
and Associates’ first employee, he
said. “It allows us to predict, with an
unprecedented degree of confidence,
that the shoring solution we recommend
is the best option for our client
and stakeholders.”
In 1973, Isherwood was one of
the first to adopt the use of belowground
wall movement and strut load
monitoring with inclinometers and
strain gauges to confirm a design’s
performance, safety and economy.
Ansari notes that he still has the serial
number of that first slope indicator –
“Lucky 13!” – in the archives of Monir
Precision Monitoring, which he established
as IGE’s sister company in 2002.
“Correct placement of monitoring
equipment to maximize data collection
allows for the prompt review and
reporting of results and ensures that
potential issues are addressed at the
earliest possible time,” he said.
A reputation for innovative
solutions for increasingly
complex projects
In 1993, IGE used monitoring to adjust
the design as work progressed on
the St. Clair River Rail Tunnel rescue
shaft to retrieve and repair the giant
100-ton cutter-head assembly of a
tunnel boring machine from nearly 100
feet below ground.
