Monitoring surveys are the most effective way to track changes to your site or structure. By monitoring essential data, such as changes in position, ground levels, and the dimensions of a structure, they can help you effectively manage potential risks. At Baypoint Surveys, we use the latest monitoring equipment to ensure accuracy at every turn.
Movement Measuring
Movement measuring detects the movements and deformations of a site or structure. Using high-accuracy 1” Total Stations, Lidar Drones, Terrestrial Laser Scanners and leading-edge software, our team can record accurate results of a variety of environments, such as:
- Marinas
- Cliff faces and embankments
- Listed/Historic buildings
- Internal ceilings
- Residential and commercial buildings
- Ground levels
- Boundaries
- Concrete slabs
- Rail embankments and cuttings
- Rail tracks
- Bridges
- Landfill sites

Civil Engineering
Monitoring bridges, tunnels, dams and structures for shifting ensures that they are secure and structurally sound.
Geotechnical Engineering
Monitoring surveys can also assess landslides, slopes and embankments for structural integrity.
Mining
Tracking ground subsidence and deformation in mining operations can help protect miners and investments.
Geodesy and Geology
Researchers and authorities often monitor tectonic shifts, fault lines and volcanic activity for safety reasons.
Transportation
monitoring railways, highways and airport runways can ensure that repairs are conducted as soon as they are needed.
The Benefits of Monitoring Surveys
Increased Safety
Fully understand hazards and potential instability to ensure construction works are safe.
Early Issue Detection
Detect issues before they become serious concerns and conduct repairs to prevent further problems.
Improved Planning
Plan more accurately and efficiently with an in-depth understanding of your site.
Project Reassurance
Understand the potential risks associated with your project and proceed with confidence.
Deformation Monitoring Survey Questions
What other factors do monitoring surveys measure?
A monitoring survey helps establish baseline measurements and track small changes over time. It is often used to detect horizontal movement, subsidence, or structural shifts that may affect new builds, adjacent properties, or existing structures.
What equipment do you use to conduct these surveys?
We utilise the latest technology to conduct our surveys, including Total Stations, laser scanners, lidar drones, crack monitoring devices, and more.
Can a monitoring survey support party wall agreements?
Yes. Monitoring surveys are commonly used as part of a party wall agreement to track any movement that may result from neighbouring construction. This ensures all parties are protected and remedial action can be taken if required.
How often do you carry out site visits?
The frequency of site visits depends on the package we create for each project. We’ll recommend a schedule based on the site conditions, potential issues identified, and the level of risk involved.
How do I determine which type of survey is best suited for my project requirements?
Our team will guide you through the survey process, gathering information to help you determine what type of survey is the right fit.
How much will it cost?
The cost of your monitoring survey will depend on the size and scope of your project. To get an estimate of how much your specific project may cost or for further information, contact our team today.
How long will my monitoring survey take?
Monitoring surveys can be conducted for any duration. Many people choose between short-term surveys conducted during construction and long-term surveys conducted after construction is complete.
Who conducts the monitoring survey?
A dedicated team and a survey manager will be assigned to your project so that you can receive professional support and interim reports at regular intervals.
All of our team members are fully qualified and, once the project is ready to commence, we will send you the necessary details, including start date, time, your surveyor’s name and contact details.
