How our monitoring system works

Our monitoring services provide accurate, continuous insight into structural and ground movement, replacing isolated survey visits with reliable, long-term data. From initial assessment through installation and reporting, our process is designed to be simple, minimally disruptive and evidence-driven, supporting confident decision-making at every stage.

Whether monitoring subsidence, slab movement or structural cracking, the approach remains consistent, transparent and professional.

Our process

1. Initial assessment & scope definition

Every project begins with a review of the site and the nature of the concern. This may include subsidence investigation, internal floor movement, cracking or post-repair verification. During this stage we:

  • Review available reports, drawings or claim information

  • Identify the appropriate monitoring type, locations and duration

  • Confirm access requirements and installation approach

This ensures the monitoring strategy is proportionate, targeted and technically appropriate.

2. Sensor installation

Once the scope is agreed, sensors are installed by experienced technicians. Installation is quick, discreet and minimally intrusive, with no excavation or major disruption required. Depending on the project, this may include:

  • Subsidence monitoring sensors (single or several)

  • Slab and floor level monitoring points (single or several)

  • Digital crack monitoring sensors (single or several)

 

All sensors are securely fixed and calibrated to ensure consistent, high-quality data capture from day one.

3. Continuous data collection

After installation, movement data is captured automatically and continuously, typically recorded on a daily basis. This approach eliminates the gaps associated with periodic site visits and provides a far clearer picture of behaviour over time. Continuous monitoring allows:

  • Identification of trends and seasonal patterns
  • Early detection of accelerating movement
  • Confident distinction between active and historic movement

Data is time-stamped and stored securely for full auditability.

4. Secure online access & visualisation

All monitoring data is made available through a secure online dashboard, allowing authorised users to view results at any time. Information is presented in a clear, graphical format that is easy to interpret while remaining suitable for technical review. The dashboard provides:

  • Visual movement trends over time
  • Clear indication of stability or change
  • Data suitable for reports and assessments

This ensures stakeholders remain informed throughout the monitoring period.

5. Interpretation & reporting support

Monitoring data is only valuable when it supports clear conclusions. We provide reporting support and data interpretation to assist engineers, insurers and consultants in understanding the results. Monitoring outputs are commonly used to:

  • Support subsidence investigations
  • Inform engineering recommendations
  • Demonstrate stabilisation prior to repair or claim closure
  • Verify post-repair performance

Our data integrates easily into technical and insurance reporting frameworks.

6. Monitoring completion or extension

At the end of the agreed monitoring period, data is reviewed to determine whether sufficient evidence has been gathered. Where movement has stabilised, monitoring can be concluded. Where behaviour remains unclear, monitoring can be extended to capture additional seasonal or long-term trends.

This flexible approach ensures decisions are based on evidence rather than assumption.

A Simple, Proven Process

Our monitoring process is designed to:

  • Minimise disruption to occupants
  • Reduce unnecessary site visits
  • Improve confidence in conclusions
  • Support proportionate, cost-effective outcomes

By combining professional installation with continuous data capture, we provide a clear, reliable picture of structural behaviour over time.
