Geotechnical monitoring represents a key component in preserving the stability and safety of structures and the route of an expressway, especially in complex terrain conditions such as peatlands and saturated soils. This paper analyzes an integrated monitoring system along such a route, which includes tracking settlements, pore pressures, and horizontal displacements in embankments, as well as deformations of retaining walls, bridges, and overpasses. The applied methods include piezometers, magnetic extensometers, settlement gauges, inclinometers and tiltmeters. Particular attention is given to system automation, real-time data acquisition, and alarm activation in the event of deviations from the design values.
