SURVEYING SERVICES

Surveying Monitoring and Deformation Monitoring

Accurate surveying services for monitoring movements, deformations and changes in the position and elevation of structures and engineering elements during construction and operation.

Accurate Data for Monitoring Structural Movement

A reliable basis for detecting movements, deformations and changes over time

Surveying Monitoring and Deformation Monitoring is a specialized surveying service used to measure and track spatial and vertical changes that may occur in structures and engineering elements over time.

The work is based on establishing dedicated monitoring points at selected locations across the structure and connecting them to stable reference control points. Repeated measurements are then carried out at defined time intervals, allowing the results of different monitoring cycles to be compared accurately.

The appropriate surveying method and equipment are selected according to the nature of the structure, required accuracy, monitoring period and project requirements. Monitoring can be performed using Total Station, GNSS / RTK, Digital Level and 3D Laser Scanner.

The collected observations are processed, reviewed and analyzed to determine horizontal and vertical movements, settlement, displacement and other geometric changes. The results are documented through tables, drawings and periodic monitoring reports to support engineering assessment and project decision-making.

Scope of Surveying Monitoring Works

Periodic measurement and monitoring of engineering movements and changes

Monitoring Point Establishment

Establishing and distributing monitoring points across the structure and areas of interest and connecting them to stable reference control points for reliable comparison over time.

Vertical Movement Monitoring

Measuring and monitoring changes in elevations and levels and detecting settlement or vertical movement through successive observation cycles.

Horizontal Movement Monitoring

Monitoring horizontal changes in the position of observation points and determining the magnitude and direction of movement compared with previous surveys.

Deformation Monitoring

Monitoring geometric changes and deformations in structures, surfaces and engineering elements and analyzing differences between successive measurements.

Surveying Monitoring Methodology

A structured process for accurate measurements and reliable monitoring results

01 Structure Assessment & Monitoring Requirements 

Reviewing the nature of the structure, construction or operational stage, areas of interest, required monitoring parameters, observation frequency and required accuracy according to the project requirements.

02 Reference Control Point Verification 

Establishing or verifying stable reference control points and confirming the coordinate and elevation reference system to be used as the basis for all monitoring observations.

03 Monitoring Point Establishment 

Establishing and distributing monitoring points across important structural elements and areas according to the nature of the structure, allowing repeated observations and reliable comparison between monitoring cycles.

04 Field Measurement & Monitoring Cycle 

Performing field measurements using appropriate equipment such as Total Station, GNSS / RTK, Digital Level or 3D Laser Scanner according to the structure and required monitoring accuracy.

05 Monitoring Data Processing & Analysis 

Processing and reviewing the collected observations, comparing them with previous monitoring cycles and calculating the differences, movements and changes in order to determine their magnitude and direction.

06 Periodic Monitoring Reports 

Preparing periodic monitoring reports, tables and drawings presenting measurement results, detected movements and changes, together with the required technical observations and documentation.

Monitoring Equipment & Technologies

Selecting the appropriate surveying technology according to the structure and required accuracy

Total Station

Used for accurately monitoring horizontal and vertical movements and measuring coordinates, angles and distances to monitoring points.

GNSS / RTK

Used for coordinate monitoring, detecting spatial changes and connecting observations to the appropriate project reference system.

Digital Level

Used for precise elevation monitoring, differential leveling and detecting settlement and vertical changes at monitoring points.

3D Laser Scanner

Used for three-dimensional documentation of surfaces and engineering elements and for analyzing geometric changes and deformations in complex structures.

A Reliable Basis for Monitoring Structural Movement

Surveying monitoring provides accurate data that allows the engineering condition of a structure to be compared across different time periods. This helps identify movements, changes and deformations and track their magnitude and direction in a structured manner.

Establishing appropriate monitoring points and connecting all observations to a stable reference control network provides reliable results that support engineering monitoring, documentation, analysis and technical decision-making according to project requirements.
