description In the context of urban space constraints, subway and underground projects have become crucial strategies to alleviate urban congestion and enhance residents’ quality of life. However, pit engineering, a frequent accident area in geotechnical engineering, urgently requires innovative safety monitoring technologies. Traditional monitoring methods face challenges such as high labor costs, lengthy monitoring cycles, high-risk working environments, and over-reliance on human judgment. To address these issues, this paper introduces an innovative monitoring system integrating Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensing technology based on a subway pit project in Guangzhou. This system not only achieves fully automated data acquisition but also includes an intelligent monitoring cloud platform, providing unprecedented automated and intelligent monitoring solutions for support structures and the surrounding environment during mechanical shaft construction. The key findings of this paper include the following: (1) The breakthrough application of distributed optical fiber monitoring technology, including successfully deploying this advanced technology in complex pit engineering environments, enabling the precise and continuous monitoring of support structures and surrounding changes, and demonstrating its high effectiveness and intelligence in practical engineering. (2) The innovative design of an intelligent safety monitoring system. By integrating sensors and wireless communication technology, an efficient data networking architecture is constructed, supporting remote configuration and flexible adjustment of monitoring equipment, significantly enhancing data collection‘s real-time performance and continuity while greatly reducing safety risks for field staff, achieving an intelligent upgrade of monitoring work. (3) Comprehensive and accurate empirical analysis. During shaft excavation, the monitoring data collected by the system were stable and reliable, with all indicators maintained within reasonable ranges and closely matching expected changes caused by construction activities, validating the system’s practical application effectiveness in complex construction environments and providing a scientific basis for pit engineering safety management.
