MONITORING
Precision monitoring to track foundation movement over time, confirming whether subsidence is active and guiding repair decisions.
WHAT IS MONITORING?
Structural monitoring involves installing measurement devices on a building to track any ongoing foundation movement over a period of time. This provides objective data on whether cracks are getting worse, stabilising, or improving — essential information for making repair decisions.
HOW IT WORKS
Crack monitors, tell-tales, or electronic sensors are installed across cracks and at key structural points. Regular readings are taken over a monitoring period (typically 12 months) to build a picture of movement patterns. Some systems provide real-time data via wireless sensors.
