Monitoring
Monitoring Surveys
Monitoring surveys provide essential data to a construction project by identifying movement or deformation in a building or structure as well as any environmental impacts such as noise, dust and vibration. The data can help determine whether remedial action is needed or to inform the next stage in the project.
Structural and environmental monitoring surveys give reassurance that any potential problems can be identified and corrected as quickly as possible.
The data is essential for professionals involved in the projects like building construction, tunnelling and infrastructure development to ensure safety and stability. This can include construction managers, engineers and geotechnical professionals as well as maintenance project teams.
Our specialist team will design, specify, install and carry out monitoring schemes on buildings – from new build to heritage properties – as well as major structures including bridges, sea defences and retaining walls.
Our solutions combine the latest technology alongside cloud based hosting and reporting systems. Our team review all of the data but this can easily be shared with the project team through secure online portals. We can map small changes in vertical, level and horizontal movement or full 3D XYZ coordinate differences in either real-time or over long periods. Depending on the project, monitoring can be either manual or automated, with ongoing data produced so that trends or patterns can be identified.
Our range of services also includes environmental monitoring to enable a greater understanding of the role and impact of noise, dust and vibration on both buildings and the surrounding environment. This can be applied to new residential developments, as well as existing commercial, retail, leisure and heritage buildings.
What do you need from monitoring solutions?
- Reliable, accurate and precise data aiding fast and effective decision making.
- Leading monitoring technologies and software delivering read-time and accurate results.
- A one-stop solution where we can combine structural, environmental and geotechnical service eliminating the need for additional suppliers to help you manage costs and improve efficiency.
- The option for one hosting platform so all data is in one place avoiding the need for multiple systems and information presented in different formats which can lead to data misinterpretation.
- Quick response times both in terms of site installation and set up and in providing data and alerts ideal for projects with tight schedules or critical safety concerns.
- The ability to tailor and customise your solutions to the specific needs of your project.
- Training project teams to ensure a consistent knowledge across all users and allowing new team members to be trained quickly.
Monitoring Services
Environmental Monitoring
Our environmental monitoring uses sensors to measure structural movement, or the environmental impact from noise, dust and vibration on site.
View service detailsHighway Monitoring
Highway projects are often delivered in live, constrained and safety-critical environments where movement, deformation or environmental impact can quickly affect safety and asset performance. Survey Solutions provides highway monitoring that help contractors, consultants, local authorities and project teams track movement in roads, carriageways, bridges and nearby structures.
View service detailsRail Monitoring
Rail projects operate in complex, safety-critical environments where small movements can create significant programme, compliance and operational risk. Survey Solutions provides rail monitoring that help teams understand movement, track condition and structural behaviour before, during and after works.
View service detailsStructural Monitoring
Our structural monitoring surveys record and measure the movement or deformation of a building or structure across a broad range of projects.
View service detailsTime-lapse Monitoring
Time-lapse monitoring gives you a clear visual record of your project from start to finish, helping you track progress, update stakeholders and capture the story of your scheme as it develops. At Survey Solutions, we provide fully managed timelapse monitoring for construction, infrastructure, rail, energy, commercial, fit-out and long-term development projects across the UK.

Monitoring FAQ’s
Monitoring surveys track movement, deformation in structures and environmental impacts such as noise, dust and vibration, helping project teams identify issues early and act fast.
Structural monitoring focuses on movement and deformation of buildings, environmental monitoring tracks impacts like noise, dust and vibration around your works.
Monitoring is commonly used on higher-risk works such as demolition, piling, tunnelling and infrastructure projects, especially near sensitive assets, utilities or the public realm.
Reporting is agreed at the start. Typically scheduled reports, clear thresholds and escalation steps so project teams can make decisions quickly.
