Environmental & Structural Monitoring Surveys

In today’s environment many structural failures occur. We carry out precise monitoring surveys to determine up to sub millimetre movement of dams, listed and historic buildings and monuments, bridges, tunnels and any other structures which maybe subject to deformation.

We have carried out high precision monitoring surveys at various sites throughout the UK and locally such as Amble Quay wall in Northumberland, where wall failure occurred due to river flooding. At Durham Cathedral we have monitored any possible long term movement and we have a term contract to carry out monitoring of dam structures such as Kielder Dam in Northumberland, the largest man made water body in Europe. To comply with legislation all dam structures need to be monitored on a regular basis.

Over the years we have carried out detailed surveys to position the metro system tunnels in Newcastle, to allow the client to determine pile positions on new build projects. Monitoring of the tunnel is then carried out during construction to determine any possible movements and post construction changes.

Using the latest 3D laser scanning technology we can provide high definition surveys of mines and quarries in the fraction of the time it takes to carry out a traditional survey. These results can be transformed into high detail digital terrain models allowing for more accurate volumetric calculations.
