8 ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENT FOR INSTALLATION AND MONITORING
PERSONNEL
Personnel involved in installation and monitoring must have a background of good installation and
monitoring practices and knowledge of the fundamentals of geotechnics. They must be professionally
trained. Persons having no prior experience may find it difficult to carry on with this work. Intricacies
involved are such that even if a single essential but apparently minor requirement is ignored or
overlooked, the most reliable of instruments and data obtained from them will be rendered useless.
This method statement does not provide for each and every condition in the field that may affect the
performance of the instrument. Also, blindly following the method statement will not guarantee success.
Sometimes, depending upon field conditions, the personnel will have to consciously depart from the
written text and use their knowledge and common sense to find the solution to a particular problem.
Users must ensure that their installation and monitoring personnel have prior training and experience in
all operations laid down in this method statement before taking up this installation and monitoring work.
