German term

messtechnische Überwachung

German to English Tech/Engineering Engineering (general)
In a list of references for a pipeline engineering company.

Examples:

- Messtechnische Überwachung sowie sicherheitstechnische Bewertung von Leitungen im Einwirkungsbereich von Rammungen
- Messtechnische Überwachung von Hochdruckleitungen, die auf einem Seeboden verlegt sind
- Messtechnische Überwachung von Gashochdruckleitungen im Bereich wiedervernässter Tagebaue

Any suggestions anyone?

monitoring

nothing more, nothing less. No need to complicate matters. The EC7 uses exactly this in the English version where "messtechnische Überwachung" is used in the German version.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Yes, it would seem that "monitoring" implicitly includes the "meßtechnisch" element, so "monitoring" alone suffices as a translation. "

instrumented monitoring

I would use instrumented because "metrological" refers to something very stringent and highly calibrated. Besides, everybody is using "instrumented" when they want to say that measurements are conducted.
