Land and Engineering Surveyors
precise monitoring surveys in lancashire & beyond
Based in Lancashire, Operating Nationwide
A monitoring survey is used to accurately measure and track movement, displacement, or change in structures, land, or infrastructure over time. Monitoring surveys are critical where construction, excavation, or ground movement could impact surrounding buildings, assets, or ground stability.
At Site Surveying Services, we provide reliable monitoring survey services across the UK, delivering precise data that supports risk management, compliance, and informed decision-making throughout a project lifecycle.
What is a Monitoring Survey?
A monitoring survey involves the repeated measurement of fixed points to detect and quantify movement. These surveys are used to identify changes in position, level, or alignment, allowing potential issues to be identified early before they become costly or unsafe. The data collected provides clear evidence of whether movement is occurring, its magnitude, and whether it remains within acceptable limits.
Monitoring surveys can be carried out on:
- Buildings and structures
- Roads, bridges, and retaining walls
- Excavations and earthworks
- Railways and infrastructure
- Slopes and embankments
Why Monitoring Surveys Are Important?
Monitoring surveys play a vital role in risk mitigation and asset protection. They help to:
Types of Monitoring Surveys We Provide
Site Surveying Services offers a range of monitoring solutions tailored to your project requirements.
Structural Monitoring
Tracks movement in buildings, walls, bridges, and other structures during construction or excavation works.
Ground & Settlement Monitoring
Measures changes in ground levels, settlement, or heave caused by excavation, piling, or groundworks.
Crack & Deformation Monitoring
Monitors the development or widening of cracks within structures over time.
Pre-Construction Condition Surveys
Provides a baseline record of existing conditions before works commence, protecting all parties involved.
Monitoring Methods & Equipment
- Precise levelling surveys
- Total station monitoring
- Fixed control networks
- Reflective targets and monitoring studs
- Periodic or scheduled repeat surveys
Our monitoring surveys are supported by clear, professional reporting:
- Movement and displacement tables
- Graphs showing trends over time
- Annotated drawings and plans
- CAD outputs where required
- Clear commentary on results
Reports are designed to be easily understood by engineers, project managers, and stakeholders.
Why Choose Site Surveying Services?
We work closely with engineers, contractors, and clients to ensure monitoring surveys deliver actionable insights, not just data.

Land and Engineering Surveyors
topographical surveys
Site Surveying Services work with a variety of different clients on different projects, and we pride ourselves on delivering accurate, efficient, cost effective surveys ensuring our clients receive the best possible product.
utility mapping
Using the latest equipment, we can provide the location of underground services in either 2D or 3D. We use state of the art Ground Penetrating Radar and Electromagnetic Location to assist your project when service avoidance may be a potential issue on site.
monitoring
Is there any movement? That is the question that is asked before and during any monitoring scheme. That is the reason we undertake monitoring, to check for movement.
laser scanning
For mass collection of accurate survey data then nothing beats scanning. Using 3D laser Scanners the surveyors can capture millions of points per second with the creation of a PointCloud.
volumetric analysis
We specialise in the analysis of a scheme’s volumetrics at any point in time. Be it Tender, Prestart, Monthly, Weekly, or Final.
bathymetric surveys
setting out & site engineering
Bread and butter work for us! Having a strong relationship with many civil engineering companies we have a very strong team of Site Engineers and Engineering Surveyors working for us.
control network installation
At Site Surveying Services we have vast experience in this field. Be it a large highway scheme or a private property we can advise on what accuracies are required from your control network depending on what work you are carrying out and the tolerances you are carrying this work out to.
uav mapping & aerial surveys
Large areas of ground can be covered capturing the most unbelievable detail which would just be unable to be recorded with traditional methods. Our clients have really seen the benefit of what UAV surveys bring to the table.
measured building surveys
From an Industrial Unit through to a Historic House to a Semi Detached House, Site Surveying Services can provide a measured building survey for all.
3d machine control
Machine control systems have been around for years now and Site Surveying Services have been utilising these systems from the very start. We realised the benefits of these systems early on when working with earthworks contractors.
