Monitoring

Building construction, especially deep excavations, can sometimes cause adjacent buildings and roads to shift as the excavation proceeds. During construction, monitoring surveys are required to measure any movement, or lack of movement, to the millimetre. These values are then used by Geotechnical Engineers to evaluate the stability of the excavation and ensure the safety of those working in the excavation. These surveys also serve to protect developers from potential claims from adjacent landowners that the excavation has damaged their property. With proof of little or no movement, developers are not responsible for the state of adjacent buildings.

Bennett Land Surveying Ltd. owns state-of-the art survey equipment for monitoring surveys. In addition, we have developed a number of techniques in-house that allow us to achieve outstanding results for our clients on every project.
