Episode Synopsis

In this episode of #GroundBreakers, we sit down with Peter Scott, Managing Director of Osprey Measurement Systems International, to explore the cutting edge of geotechnical and structural health monitoring. With over 20 years of leadership in some of the world’s largest instrumentation and monitoring (I&M) projects, Peter brings unparalleled insight into how precision technology is scaling to meet modern infrastructure demands.We dive deep into the philosophy behind Osprey’s innovative hardware — like their signature Tilt String system — and examine how Peter’s team is pushing the boundaries of usability, scalability, and system interoperability. From managing massive infrastructure footprints to fostering open architectures and field-driven feedback loops, Peter offers a behind-the-scenes look at building systems that not only collect data but deliver actionable insight.Whether you’re curious about the future of fiber optics, GNSS, InSAR, or AI-driven monitoring systems, this episode offers a visionary perspective on the next decade of #Geotech and #InfrastructureMonitoring. We also explore what makes monitoring programs truly collaborative and successful — and how to nurture innovation within a team.🔍 Topics covered include:Scaling I&M systems across continentsOpen vs. closed system architecturesThe future of AI, ML, and autonomous monitoringBridging corporate and startup mindsets in engineeringAdvice for the next generation of geotechnical professionalsTune in for a grounded yet forward-looking conversation about the technologies, partnerships, and leadership styles shaping the future of infrastructure resilience.#GeotechnicalEngineering #InfrastructureTech #StructuralMonitoring #Innovation #CivilEngineering #IoT #FiberOptics #MachineLearning #SmartInfrastructure #EngineeringLeadership #AIInEngineering #FutureOfGeotech #PodcastJourney #construction #mining
