Building and structure monitoring

Building and structures require monitoring when adjacent ground conditions are to be altered, creating the potential for damage. For example; tunneling, large excavations, changing of the water table.

Structural monitoring can be performed using a number of techniques, such as precise digital levelling, calliper measurements, piezometer dip measurements and strain measurements, to fully automated systems such as Lynton Survey’s prism monitoring system.

Building monitoring systems can use a variety of different sensors to detect deformation or changes in stress loadings, such as slope indicators electronic level (EL) beams and automated total station systems.

We can transfer the results back to a centralised location or process them onboard. We compare processed readings to alarm tolerances and SMSs are sent to relevant people if they are exceeded.
