About the firm

Municon West Coast provides geotechnical and structural instrumentation services, real-time remote monitoring, and pre- and post-construction site documentation. Founded in 1991, it deploys smart geotechnical sensors to capture actionable data that mitigates risk, protects infrastructure, and prevents legal disputes. The practice serves contractors, developers, city agencies, and infrastructure owners across California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, and Western Canada.

Capabilities

Remote Monitoring

Service website

Utilizes advanced geotechnical and structural sensors to collect continuous, real-time data from construction sites, helping project teams track environmental conditions and structural performance.

  • Dust Monitoring

    Measures particulate sizes, wind speed, and direction against established baselines to manage air quality and ensure regulatory compliance.

  • Groundwater Monitoring

    Tracks subsurface water volumes, depths, and pressures using piezometers and monitoring wells to prevent construction site failures.

  • Settlement and Ground Movement Monitoring

    Detects structural shifting, land movement, and ground settlement to maintain excavation and foundation safety.

  • Sound Monitoring

    Captures acoustic levels on-site to verify compliance with community noise regulations and project limits.

  • Vibration Monitoring

    Measures ground and structural vibrations to prevent damage to surrounding buildings and utilities.

  • Utility Monitoring

    Protects existing underground systems by tracking movement and structural changes near active construction zones.

Conditions Surveys

Service website

Visually documents and registers pre-existing cracks, discolorations, and structural defects to protect contractors and infrastructure owners.

  • Photo and Video Documentation

    Uses DSLR cameras and video equipment to record detailed baseline visual documentation of site conditions.

  • Pre and Post-Construction Surveys

    Establishes a precise legal record of structural integrity before construction starts and after it concludes.

  • Drone Photo and Videography

    Provides high-resolution aerial imagery and videography for comprehensive site-wide tracking.

  • 3D Site Surveys

    Creates dimensional digital twins of physical locations using 3D lidar scanning to enable virtual inspection.

  • Crack Monitoring

    Applies precise gauges and sensors to measure changes in structural crack width over time.

Geophysics

Service website

Conducts subsurface investigations to produce multi-dimensional models of underground soil and rock formations.

  • MASW (Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves) Survey

    Performs seismic site characterization to assess soil stiffness and shear wave velocity distribution.

  • Utility Locating

    Identifies the position of buried utility lines, pipes, and structures to prevent excavation damage.

  • Vs30 Seismic Survey

    Generates localized seismic shear-wave velocity profiles down to thirty meters for foundation design.

Non-Destructive Testing

Service website

Applies non-invasive geotechnical and geophysical methods to assess concrete structures, foundations, and deep shafts.

  • CSL (Crosshole Sonic Logging)

    Analyzes the structural integrity and uniformity of concrete drilled shafts and slurry walls.

  • Thermal Integrity Profiling (TIP)

    Uses temperature measurements during concrete hydration to evaluate the entire cross-section of cast-in-place piles.

  • Concrete Scanning

    Locates rebar, conduits, and voids within concrete slabs and structures using ground penetrating radar.

  • Pile Integrity Testing (PIT)

    Determines deep foundation pile length and detects structural anomalies using low-strain impact methods.
