Rail Transit Monitoring Cases

For metro stations, shield sections, adjacent buildings and operating lines, SoilCreate combines portable survey tools with permanent automated monitoring so construction and operation teams see one continuous risk picture.

3/7/8

Ningbo Lines

Representative metro project coverage includes Ningbo Rail Transit Lines 3, 7 and 8.

4/6

Suzhou Lines

SoilCreate has served Suzhou Metro Lines 4 and 6 in rail-transit monitoring projects.

10/11

Guangzhou Lines

Guangzhou Metro Lines 10 and 11 are representative South China projects.

Xingtangjie Sections

The Suzhou Line 5 Xingtangjie case used 15 monitored sections.

Case scope

What SoilCreate Monitors On Site

Rail transit projects combine fast construction change with long operating life. A station pit may need minute-level support-force and displacement monitoring; an operating section may need settlement and vibration trends over years. The project stack therefore includes sliding inclinometers for manual campaigns, in-place inclinometers for automated pits, settlement gauges for tracks and buildings, VW terminals for support force, and edge devices feeding a line-wide cloud platform.

✓
Portable and automated modes together
Sliding inclinometer campaigns can validate permanent arrays; automated stations then carry the high-frequency workload.
✓
Line-wide multi-asset monitoring
Station pits, tunnels, bridges, side slopes, tracks and adjacent buildings can be managed under one platform and one alarm hierarchy.
✓
Construction event traceability
Support installation, excavation, grouting and shield advance records are tied to data curves so abnormal motion can be explained.

Data chain

Monitoring Chain Used On Site

Delivered projects are organized from monitoring targets to data quality, alarm rules and reporting outputs.

Station / tunnel → Inclinometer → Settlement → VW + water → Line cloud

Representative projects

Delivered Monitoring Cases

These cases focus on monitoring targets, sensor combinations and the data logic used after delivery.

Line Portfolio

Shanghai, Ningbo, Suzhou, Fuzhou and Guangzhou Metro Projects

SoilCreate has delivered monitoring work for Shanghai Rail Transit Line 2, Ningbo Lines 3/7/8, Suzhou Metro Lines 4/6, Fuzhou Lines 2/6 and Guangzhou Lines 10/11 including Shangyong Park Station.

Support Monitoring

Suzhou Rail Transit Line 5, Xingtangjie Station

SoilCreate monitored support-force behavior at Xingtangjie Station using 180 axial-force elements and 15 sixteen-channel VW acquisition boxes across concrete and steel support layers.

Same-Bore Validation

Shaoxing Metro Line 2, Paojiang Lianghu Station

SoilCreate completed adjacent-position validation between flexible and sliding inclinometers. Over half a year, the A-axis displacement trends remained highly consistent.

Implementation checklist

Delivery Checks Behind Reliable Data

The following checks are standard items in field delivery and long-term operation.

Delivery phase	Field check
Stage planning	Separate construction-phase high-frequency risks from operation-phase long-term trends.
Device selection	Use sliding systems for campaigns, IPI for continuous pits, settlement gauges for track/building elevation and VW for support force.
Platform setup	Map each station, section and asset into a line-level view with role-based permissions.
