🚇 Monitoring underground construction to support the future of urban mobility Delivering a new metro line in a dense urban environment requires precision, anticipation, and continuous control. As part of the construction of Line B of the Rennes Metro, SOCOTEC contributed its expertise to secure works and monitor the impact of construction activities throughout this major infrastructure project 🏗️ Operating in a complex underground environment, SOCOTEC deployed advanced geotechnical and structural monitoring solutions to track ground movements and assess the behaviour of surrounding structures in real time. Through tailored instrumentation, data analysis, and continuous site supervision, teams supported decision-making and helped maintain safe construction conditions ⚙️ This proactive approach enabled early identification of potential deviations, reducing risks for nearby buildings, infrastructure, and project stakeholders while supporting construction performance and schedule reliability 🔍 By combining technical excellence, digital monitoring capabilities, and risk management expertise, SOCOTEC continues to support the delivery of resilient and sustainable transport infrastructure that improves everyday mobility 🌍🚆 A great example of how smart monitoring contributes to safer and more efficient cities of tomorrow.
