Al Mirani Fort, a 600-year-old historical site in Muscat, Oman, underwent a comprehensive restoration to address rock decay and foundation instability. Encardio-rite provided a turnkey geotechnical monitoring solution, installing over 200 sensors, including in-place inclinometers, borehole extensometers, piezometers, and tilt meters, to monitor subsurface rock mass movement and structural tilt. Automatic data acquisition systems transferred real-time data to an online Web Data Management System (WDMS) for analysis and reporting. These efforts ensured the fort's safety during stabilization works like pressure grouting and rock bolting while preserving its historical integrity.
Al Mirani Fort along with Al Jalali Fort, flank Sultans Al Alam Palace. In the olden days, these more than 600-year-old forts served as bastions in defence of Muscat harbour and the old city. Al Mirani fort was restored to its original majesty as part of a concerted renovation program.
