Use of observational methods and monitoring to predict the impact of investments located in the immediate vicinity of underground infrastructure

The use of observational methods and monitoring to predict the impact of investments located in the immediate vicinity of underground infrastructure. Professor at the Warsaw University of Technology, specialist in hydrotechnical construction, water engineering, and the environment. In 2014–2020, he was the Head of the Department of Water Engineering and Hydraulics, and in 2016–2023 , he was the director of the Center for Geo and Hydrotechnical Analysis at the Institute of Applied Research at the Warsaw University of Technology (IBS PW), and in the 2020–2024 term, he served as Dean of the Faculty of Building Installations, Hydrotechnology and Environmental Engineering at the Warsaw University of Technology. He is a member of the Hydrotechnical Structures Section and the High Buildings Team of KILiW PAN, as well as a member of Technical Committee 206 Observational Method; International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (TC 206 Observational Method; International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering).
He deals with the application of advanced numerical simulations in geotechnics, hydrotechnics, and environmental engineering, as well as the assessment of the technical condition of buildings (including underground infrastructure and hydrotechnical facilities) using modern measurement methods, such as laser scanning, thermomonitoring, fiber optic measurements, etc. He is a specialist in the field of numerical modeling of water filtration in soil, safety analysis of buildings, and the impact of deep foundations on neighboring structures and groundwater in urban environments, including the determination of limit values for monitoring (both during construction and operation of the facility). He is a pioneer in taking into account changes in groundwater conditions and phenomena occurring in the ground caused by water filtration (filtration deformations: erosion, suffusion, clogging) in calculations and numerical analyses concerning the safety of buildings. He is the co-organizer and executor of the first measurements in Poland of the tightness of slotted walls using the thermomonitoring method and the use of fiber optic measurements for monitoring underground infrastructure – large-diameter collectors.
