Deep excavation and dewatering can cause settlement long before damage becomes visible. Our structural movement monitoring uses instruments such as automated total stations and tiltmeters to track displacement in real time. We establish baseline movement surveys before work begins, then flag deviations early enough for corrective action. As part of our geotechnical monitoring services, building movement monitoring gives owners measurable assurance from the first shovel to final closeout.
Geotechnical and Structural Movement Monitoring Services
Why are Geotechnical and Structure Movement Monitoring Important?
Geotechnical monitoring is essential to various construction projects, particularly those involving excavation or foundation work. We use instrumentation and monitoring systems to measure and analyze the behavior of the soil and surrounding rock during construction to ensure the safety and stability of the structure being built by identifying potential issues like ground movement, settlement, and soil erosion.
Seismic Surveys structure movement monitoring provides real-time data on displacement, rotation, and structural strain so that engineers and contractors can be aware of any abnormal or unexpected conditions. This data enables construction professionals to make informed decisions to adjust design, construction, or maintenance plans, ensuring safety, durability, and reliability.
How Does Geotechnical and Structure Movement Monitoring Work?
Seismic Surveys uses state-of-the-art equipment installed at strategic points in the monitored structure or area to provide reliable and accurate geotechnical and structure movement monitoring to support the safety and stability of buildings, structures, and terrain. To achieve this, we use a range of advanced equipment, including:
- Automated Motorized Total Station (AMTS)
- Inclinometers
- Piezometers
- Extensometers
- Tiltmeters
- Telemetry
- Crack monitors
