We understand the importance of precision, accuracy, and reliability in construction and structural integrity. Our team leverages cutting-edge technology to ensure the swift detection, thorough analysis, and effective action upon any instance of movement or deformation.

Precision and Accuracy in Monitoring Surveys

Our monitoring surveys utilise advanced total stations to monitor fixed targets. This technology is capable of detecting any shift in 3 dimensions with millimetre accuracy. This precision guarantees early detection of even the smallest deviations, safeguarding the structural integrity of your construction project.

Verticality Measurement with Laser Scanners

We employ laser scanners to measure verticality with precision. These devices are used over repeated visits, providing us with the ability to compare scans over time. This process allows for accurate detection and measurement of any movement or deformation between visits.

Monitoring Vertical Movement with Digital Levels

Our suite of tools includes precise digital levels designed for monitoring vertical movement. These tools measure changes to fractions of a millimetre, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of your structures' stability and security.

The Importance of Long-Term Monitoring

The impact of construction on surrounding infrastructure can be significant. Long-term monitoring enables us to assess these effects and implement necessary corrective actions in a timely manner. This proactive approach aids in preventing costly repairs and potential structural complications.

Subsidence Detection and Monitoring

Subsidence monitoring forms a critical part of our service. By systematically observing ground movements over time, we can identify and respond to any subsidence before it poses a significant risk to your structures.

We usually carry out surveys to monitor for movement in cases of subsidence in conjunction with a Structural Engineer. If you are a building owner with a subsidence issue put your Structural Engineers in touch with us and we will work with them so create a monitoring solution that will work best for your situation.

Navigating the complexities of construction requires precise, reliable monitoring. Trust our robust monitoring surveys to ensure the integrity and longevity of your structures.

Have used Bury Associates for a few jobs. Generally very responsive with quotations and competitively priced for a high quality product. They are certainly capable of handling complex and historic projects. I always enjoy working with their drawings. Lead times are also generally excellent, something my clients appreciate greatly. Any complications that do occur are handled promptly and professionally, with good communication throughout. I look forward to a continuing professional relationship and would highly recommend.

First time experience with Bury Associates and I would definitely use them again. They were inline with or perhaps a little more affordable than some, but it was their good comms and flexibility that made me choose them. On site, the surveyor was efficient and helpful, and carried out the survey with no fuss at all. As is normal, there were some niggles with the survey drawings, but importantly these were dealt with thoroughly and promptly by way of some very good natured communications - no push back whatsoever. Having (the excellent) Sar as a point of contact throughout was great. Overall recommended!

First time using Bury Associates and I can't fault their service; clear communication with us and our clients, great outputs and all done on time. Their customer portal helps enormously with tracking changes to drawings.
