The GIS-based distributed monitoring information management and early warning system for foundation pit has been developed to meet the need for monitoring information management

integration and sharing. The framework of the system is introduced and the main emphasis is placed on key functions of the system. Based on the GIS visualization technique the developed system implements functions as acquisition of multiple foundation pits geologic

design

construction information

monitoring point

monitoring apparatus

monitoring data and information of buildings around

etc. Furthermore the system implements functions as management

process

analysis

query

prediction

early warming of the information and automatic monitoring reports. The C/S ( Client / Server ) structure is employed for information sharing and team cooperation; and the system has great performance under network circumstances. All the features make it as a powerful information platform for foundation pit monitoring.
