How Monitoring Enables Better Decisions. Groundbreaking with Shiv Mohan and Rodrigo Betanzo

In this episode of #GroundBreakers, we tackle a fundamental truth about infrastructure monitoring: Most monitoring systems don’t fail because of technology. They fail because they were never designed to support decisions. Featuring Shiv Mohan and Rodrigo, this conversation explores a critical shift — from viewing monitoring as a collection of instruments and dashboards to understanding it as a decision-making system designed from the start. We break down why traditional specifications often fall short, how compliance-driven setups limit real value, and what it takes to design systems that actually deliver clarity, context, and action. This episode goes deeper into: * Why monitoring specifications must begin with decisions, not devices * The gap between data collection and engineering judgment * How to think about integration, data flow, and context early in the project lifecycle * A structured approach to move from raw data → to actionable intelligence At its core, this is about a shift happening across the industry: from monitoring systems → to decision intelligence systems. Whether you’re an asset owner, consultant, or contractor, this episode offers a practical lens to rethink how monitoring should be designed — not for compliance, but for real-world decision-making and risk management.

Groundbreaking with Jose Berrio

In this episode of #GroundBreakers, we dive into one of the biggest gaps in infrastructure today: why monitoring data fails to become decisions.Across major infrastructure projects, data is being collected at scale — from geotechnical instruments, structural sensors, and environmental systems. Yet in many cases, this data remains fragmented across contractors, formats, and platforms, never reaching engineers and decision-makers in a way that truly informs action.Joining us is Jose Antonio Berrio, VP of International Services, as we unpack what it actually takes to move from fragmented data to engineering clarity.Together, we explore how convergence, contextualization, and integrated platforms can transform raw readings into actionable intelligence — enabling better risk management, faster decisions, and more reliable asset performance across the lifecycle.Through real-world examples, this conversation highlights a critical shift happening in the industry:from data collection → to decision intelligence.Whether you're an asset owner managing complex portfolios, a consultant designing monitoring strategies, or a contractor navigating data handoffs, this episode will change how you think about monitoring systems and the role of data in engineering decisions.Join us as we continue #TransformingGeotech and building the future of #EngineeringExcellence.#GroundBreakersPodcast #TransformingGeotech #DecisionIntelligence #DataToDecisions #InfrastructureMonitoring #SmartInfrastructure #GeotechnicalEngineering #StructuralMonitoring #IoTInEngineering #DigitalEngineering #EngineeringLeadership #InfrastructureSafety #DataIntegration #EngineeringInnovation #AssetManagement #CivilEngineering #MonitoringSolutions #DigitalTransformation #EngineeringPodcast #RiskManagement

Groundbreakers LATAM Rising with Sebastian, Jonathan and Antonio

GroundBreakers Presents: LATAM Rising Episode 2: Fragmentation to IntegrationIn this episode, hosts Ritvick Bhalla and Sebastián Lobo-Guerrero explore how the region is shifting from fragmented monitoring to integrated decision intelligence connecting sensors, dataloggers, remote sensing, and intelligent platforms like Proqio. Featuring: Jonathan Mendoza Chávez – Encardio-Rite Peru Antonio Lozano – Geoengineering Services Consulting, Peru Discover how integration drives better slope stability analysis, mining safety, and infrastructure resilience — turning data into foresight and action. “Integrar es proteger — integrar es avanzar.” Integration is protection — and progress. Watch now and be part of the movement transforming geotechnical intelligence across LATAM. Key takeaway: Integration starts before the project breaks ground — not after. #Groundbreakers #LATAMRising #Geotechnical #DecisionIntelligence #Proqio #RemoteSensing #IoT #SlopeStability #Mining #CivilEngineering #SmartInfrastructure #DataIntegration #groundbreakerspodcast #geotechnicalengineering #LATAMRising #TransformingGeotech #DecisionIntelligence #Integration #FromFragmentationToIntegration #Geotechnical #GeotechnicalEngineering #CivilEngineering #StructuralHealthMonitoring #SlopeStability #MiningEngineering #InfrastructureMonitoring #RemoteSensing #InSAR #IoT #Dataloggers #SensorTechnology #DataIntegration #DigitalMonitoring #Automation #AIinEngineering #LATAM #LatinAmerica #PeruEngineering #EngineeringCommunity #MiningLATAM #InfrastructureLATAM #Proqio #EncardioRite #SmartInfrastructure #SmartMonitoring #ConnectedSystems #IntegratedEngineering #InnovationInEngineering #EngineeringForGood #FutureOfMonitoring #EngineeringLeadership #TechForSafety

Groundbreaking with Prof Neelima Satyam

In the 18th episode of #GroundBreakers, we are honored to host Prof. Neelima Satyam, a pioneering voice in geotechnical earthquake engineering and resilience in India. A SERB Power Fellow and civil engineering professor at IIT Indore, Prof. Satyam brings her deep expertise, institutional experience, and global perspective to a powerful conversation on the future of India’s geotechnical landscape.Our dialogue explores how India can leap forward by combining cutting-edge technologies with traditional engineering wisdom. From seismic microzonation and instrumentation to landslide risk and early warning systems, Prof. Satyam shares a sharp, systems-level view of what's working, what’s not, and what needs to change across academia, industry, and public policy.We examine real-world events like Joshimath and their implications for national planning, spotlight underutilized technologies such as microtremor measurements and GNSS, and explore how codes, committees, and inclusive leadership can scale impact. Prof. Satyam also offers guidance for young engineers, especially women, who are eager to make a difference in resilience-building and infrastructure safety.This episode is a must-watch for engineers, policymakers, researchers, and anyone passionate about building a safer, smarter future for India and beyond.
