Planning & Design Phase: • Detection of areas of prior movement to clarify

liabilities in case of construction induced movement

• Risk planning management: identification of sensitive areas

Construction Phase:

• Measuring beyond the reach of in-situ instrumentation along track

• Complementary and independent measurements

Operations & Maintenance:

• Long term monitoring after in-situ instrumentation has been removed

• Planning of surveying campaigns for maintenance
