Step 1 of 2

Construction sites adjacent to existing assets require sophisticated monitoring to protect neighboring infrastructure from vibration, settlement, and excavation impacts. Whether protecting historic buildings, operating utilities, or occupied structures, these projects demand precision monitoring that balances construction progress with asset protection.

Adjacent assets face risks from ground vibration during pile driving and excavation, foundation settlement from groundwater changes, and structural movement from adjacent construction loading. Underground utilities, bridges, and buildings within influence zones require continuous monitoring to detect any movement that could compromise their integrity.

Our monitoring programs are designed for construction timelines, with rapid deployment capabilities and real-time alerts that allow contractors to adjust construction methods while protecting adjacent assets. We work closely with construction managers and asset owners to establish acceptable movement thresholds and provide data that supports insurance claims and regulatory compliance.

Popular Services in This Sector

1

Construction Vibration Monitoring

Pile driving, blasting, and heavy equipment operation create ground vibration that can damage adjacent structures and utilities.

2

Excavation and Settlement Monitoring

Deep excavations change groundwater conditions and soil pressures, causing settlement in adjacent foundations and structures.

3

Adjacent Structure Monitoring

Existing buildings and infrastructure near construction sites require monitoring for cracks, movement, and vibration-induced damage.

4

Displacement Monitoring

Construction activities can cause horizontal and vertical movement in adjacent structures requiring precise measurement and alerting.

5

Piezometer and Seepage Monitoring

Excavation and dewatering activities change groundwater levels, requiring monitoring to prevent foundation damage in adjacent assets.

6

Post-Event Rapid Assessment

Construction incidents or unexpected ground movement require immediate assessment of impacts to adjacent infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you protect adjacent assets during construction nationwide

We provide nationwide coverage for construction-adjacent monitoring, deploying standardized equipment and protocols that meet local building codes and insurance requirements across different regions.

What types of construction activities require adjacent monitoring

Pile driving, deep excavations, tunneling, demolition, and heavy equipment operation within influence zones of existing structures all require adjacent asset monitoring.

How quickly can monitoring be deployed for adjacent assets

We can mobilize monitoring systems within 24-48 hours of notification, installing sensors on adjacent structures before construction begins and providing real-time data throughout the project.

What happens if monitoring detects movement in adjacent assets

Our alert system immediately notifies construction managers and asset owners. We provide specific movement data to support decisions about construction pauses, method changes, or mitigation measures.
