Structural Monitoring
& Engineering.

Ensuring stability, compliance and confidence in complex projects.

Safeguarding structures with certainty.

Connecting precision data and engineering insight for reliable structural performance.

From high-rise towers and stadiums to tunnels, bridges and critical infrastructure, stability is essential.

Plowman Craven combines advanced sensor technology, automation and survey expertise to deliver continuous structural assurance.

Our monitoring services detect change, validate compliance and provide the intelligence needed to act early, protecting people, projects and assets.

Structural movement monitoring.

Detecting movement, protecting integrity and ensuring safety.

Structural movement monitoring provides early visibility of potential instability, helping teams act before safety, schedules or budgets are affected. Our automated and manual systems deliver precise, real-time insight into how a structure behaves under load or environmental change.

We combine advanced sensors and survey control to measure structural behaviour with millimetre precision.

Track settlement, rotation, tilt, deflection and crack propagation
Deploy tilt sensors, IPIs, VWGs, crack and temperature monitors and Robotic Total Stations
Provide automated real-time alerts or manual periodic verification
Integrate monitoring data into clear digital reporting for rapid decisions
Applied across tunnels, bridges, retaining walls, heritage buildings and major infrastructure

Asset monitoring.

Understanding performance to manage risk and optimise asset life.

Asset monitoring provides targeted intelligence on how critical assets respond to operational or construction loads. By continuously tracking condition and performance, we help clients ensure compliance, plan maintenance effectively and extend the life of valuable assets.

We use targeted monitoring systems to track structural condition and behaviour in real time.

Combine tilt, displacement, crack and vibration sensors with survey control
Quantify movement and stress to support maintenance and risk management
Provide continuous, verifiable data for compliance and performance validation
Scale solutions from individual structures to extensive asset networks
Applied across utilities, transport corridors, industrial facilities and defence infrastructure

Condition monitoring.

Predictive insight for reliability, safety and efficiency.

Condition monitoring identifies changes in asset performance before they escalate into costly or disruptive failures. By combining continuous data capture with engineering interpretation, we enable predictive maintenance, improve reliability and reduce whole-life costs.

We integrate sensors with Total Stations, Precise Levels and vibration monitoring to assess performance under normal and changing conditions.

Detect early signs of deterioration or anomalies
Enable predictive and preventative maintenance strategies
Provide continuous insight to support cost and risk reduction
Improve compliance, safety and resilience across operational environments
Applied across energy, utilities, buildings and transport networks

Engineering surveys.

The foundation for precision and control in construction.

Engineering surveys provide the measurement framework that ensures every structure is built to design intent. By establishing millimetre-accurate control networks, we support design validation, construction accuracy and long-term structural compliance.

We deliver large-scale survey control networks that underpin every phase of construction.

Use Total Stations, Robotic Total Stations, Precise Levels and scanning techniques
Provide precise control for design, build and verification
Validate alignment and compliance across complex structures
Support phased development, staged handovers and long-term control
Applied across transport hubs, high-rise developments, stadiums and industrial facilities
