Deformation Monitoring & Control Surveying

Specialists in deformation monitoring and control surveying

When cracks or subsidence appear, whether it’s on a structural or natural feature, our team can relieve the stress with our deformation monitoring. Detailed measurements lead to comprehensive data which will determine the action to be taken. The data that we collect enables consulting engineers to move forward with detailed design solutions and for contractors to work safely. Similarly facility managers and insurance companies have the peace of mind that assets are being monitored.

On other occasions it can be the case that proposed construction work in the vicinity of a man made or natural feature is a cause for concern and a monitoring regime must be established prior to the construction and maintained throughout.

We have experience of providing complex ongoing remote observations that work 24/7 with triggered text and email alerts to key personnel, through to simple crack monitoring for you to maintain.
