Target monitoring is a precise and effective technique used to measure structural movement, helping to identify potential subsidence, settlement, or shifting in buildings and infrastructure. At SML Subsidence, we specialise in deploying target monitoring to provide accurate, real-time data that supports early detection and informed decision-making.

What is Target Monitoring?

Target monitoring involves fixing reflective targets to key points on a structure. These targets are regularly surveyed using specialised instruments like total stations or laser scanners to measure any displacement with high accuracy. By tracking the movement of these targets over time, we can assess the stability of the building and identify areas at risk.

Why Choose Target Monitoring?

• Highly Accurate Measurements: Detect even minor movements to prevent costly damage.

• Non-Invasive & Flexible: Targets can be placed discreetly without disrupting building use.

• Real-Time Data Collection: Enables timely interventions and reduces risk.

• Customised Monitoring Plans: Tailored to suit different property types and project needs.

Our Target Monitoring Process

1. Site Assessment: We evaluate the property to determine optimal target locations.

2. Installation: Reflective targets are carefully installed at strategic points.

3. Regular Surveys: Using precise instruments, we measure target movement at scheduled intervals.

4. Reporting & Analysis: Detailed reports highlight movement trends and recommend next steps.
