Monitoring of ground and building movement, groundwater, tilt, cracks and vibration. Select the instruments and reading schedule for the investigation or construction works.
Instruments show how the ground and nearby buildings respond to construction. In the ground: settlement markers, plates and rod gauges, inclinometers for lateral movement, and vibrating wire or standpipe piezometers for groundwater pressure. On buildings: tiltmeters, Demec gauges and tell-tales on cracks, building settlement markers, and vibration monitoring.
Embankments on soft ground, deep excavations and retaining walls, slopes, tunnelling and piling next to existing buildings, and condition surveys before and during works.
Your site, the structure and what the design needs to know.
Test locations, methods and the reporting you need.
Testing, drilling and sampling on site by our field team.
Logs, plots and test results for your engineer.
The schedule follows the construction stage and the project's monitoring plan; we agree it with you before installation.
