Highway monitoring from Survey Solutions
Site Eye is part of Survey Solutions, the UK’s largest engineering surveying group. It provides highway monitoring for contractors, consultants, local authorities and infrastructure owners, tracking movement in roads, carriageways, bridges, retaining walls, culverts, embankments and nearby structures.
Schemes can be tailored to short-term construction works, long-term asset monitoring, emergency investigations or planned schemes, and combined with topographical surveys, mobile mapping, utility surveys, GPR, CCTV drainage surveys or site engineering.
What they monitor
- Roads and carriageways
- Footways and cycleways
- Bridges and bridge approaches
- Retaining walls
- Culverts and drainage structures
- Embankments, slopes and cuttings
- Underpasses and tunnels
- Utility corridors
- Adjacent buildings and third-party assets
- Temporary works and excavation zones
- Public realm and streetscape assets
Manual monitoring
Scheduled readings at agreed points in the programme, to track carriageway levels, structural movement, settlement, retaining walls or adjacent assets.
Automated monitoring
Frequent or continuous readings, with alerts when agreed movement or intervention levels are reached, so issues are found early and acted on quickly.
How a highway monitoring scheme runs
- Understand the asset, the works, access, traffic management and stakeholders.
- Define the monitoring points, frequency, reporting format and trigger levels.
- Capture baseline data before works begin.
- Take manual or automated readings at agreed intervals, then check and interpret them.
- Report clearly and consistently for engineers, contractors, designers and asset owners.
Project example: Battersea. Survey Solutions provided vibration and movement monitoring to protect a critical 6kV cable during piling for a major residential development. Read the project
