A monitoring survey can detect if or how far a building or structure has moved over time. The survey process involves monitoring specific markers at regular intervals, which can be daily, weekly, monthly, or even annually depending on the nature of the job.
You may have concerns about a crack in your wall, a bank of land that is gradually slipping away, a cliff face that is crumbling towards you, a watercourse that is edging towards your home, or a chimney that is on the move. Or perhaps you need to support a wall – whether it’s yours or a neighbours – while renovating a property, and you would like to check it for movement.
Archidata can monitor any kind of structural movement for you over a relevant period, producing a report that shows any change or potential for change in the future.
Amongst other jobs, we are currently monitoring a wall and riverbank weekly on the River Arun in Arundel. (Note the permanent yellow monitoring targets.)
