Remote cameras and time-lapse create a clear, time-stamped record of works around important structures. As part of Survey Solutions, we can add sensor-based structural monitoring, accurate to sub-millimetre movement, with real-time alerts by text or email.
From new builds to historic and heritage landmarks, monitoring is useful for:
Fixed cameras on key elevations, work areas or access points, with time-stamped images, downloadable footage, edited films and long-term archive records.
Best for: progress reporting, quality records and evidence of what happened on site.
SiteStream adds continuous HD video and live viewing, searchable by date and time. More about SiteStream.
Best for: busy work areas and access points.
Survey Solutions measures movement and deformation, with manual or automated schemes, real-time data and alerts. See below.
Best for: excavation, piling, demolition and works next to sensitive assets.
Usually when construction activity could affect nearby buildings, infrastructure or sensitive assets, for example:
1We look at the structure, the risk and access, and agree what needs to be recorded.
2Our engineers install the cameras, alongside Survey Solutions instruments where needed.
3Your team reviews images, footage and data online from desktop or mobile.
4Time-stamped records and long-term archives, so you can see what happened and how the structure responded.
Site Eye is part of Survey Solutions, the UK’s largest engineering surveying group. Its monitoring surveys record and measure the movement or deformation of buildings and structures, from new build developments to historic and heritage landmarks, so problems can be found and a remediation plan agreed before they develop.
Schemes work to project specifications for movement as precise as sub-millimetre, with real-time data and alerts by text message or email when pre-set tolerance levels are breached.
Set up quickly, with surveyors visiting site at a frequency you specify, which can change with site activity. Data is usually supplied as spreadsheets, with 3D digital models available.
Monitoring technology installed on site measures fixed points 24/7, with cloud-based hosting and reporting shared through secure online portals, and alerts if tolerances are breached.
Project example: ExCeL London. Survey Solutions delivered remote structural monitoring for ExCeL London’s expansion, tracking brace movement 24/7 to protect foundations during excavation. Read the project
Project example: Lake Windermere. Remote structural monitoring protected a historic boathouse during piling works for Van Elle’s slipway rebuild. Read the project

Survey Solutions works to project specifications for movement as precise as sub-millimetre, with real-time alerts by text or email when tolerances are breached.
Instruments show how a structure responded. Cameras show what was happening on site at the time. Together they give the complete picture.
Manual monitoring takes readings at agreed stages and suits planned, lower-frequency checks. Automated monitoring takes frequent or continuous readings and sends alerts when agreed trigger levels are reached, for higher-risk or time-sensitive works. Survey Solutions recommends the right approach for the risk.
From a single phase of works to several months or years, with long-term archive records.
No site network is needed. Every camera has built-in 4G, and solar-powered systems are available for remote locations without a power supply.
Tell us about the structure, the works planned nearby and what you need to record or measure. We will suggest the right mix of cameras and monitoring.
