Monitoring Surveys
Monitoring surveys are essential for tracking the movement of buildings or structures over time, particularly during construction activities such as deep excavations. Using advanced equipment like laser scanners and tilt sensors, these surveys provide precise data on movement or vibration, often measured to the millimeter. Regular monitoring is conducted throughout key phases, including demolition, excavation, and below-grade construction, to assess the stability of the surrounding environment.
We offer a comprehensive range of monitoring services, including:
Construction and Excavation Monitoring
Infrastructure and Slope Stability Monitoring
Preload Settlement Monitoring
Periodic Movement Monitoring (available on a daily, weekly, monthly, or annual basis)
1D, 2D, and 3D Monitoring Solutions
Why are monitoring surveys important throughout construction?
Construction activity especially those involving deep excavation, can sometimes cause shifts in adjacent buildings, roads, or infrastructure. Therefore, these surveys are critical in identifying any potential movement or lack thereof, which is then analyzed by Geotechnical Engineers. The data collected ensures the safety of workers within the excavation and provides valuable insights to evaluate and maintain the integrity of the structure. Ultimately, the purpose of a monitoring survey is to safeguard both the project site and the surrounding areas by identifying and mitigating risks related to movement that could impact nearby properties or infrastructure.
