Structural deformation surveying provides accurate monitoring to track shifts and changes in a structure, ensuring long-term stability and preventing potential issues to maintain integrity
About structural deformation surveying
Ensuring structural integrity through accurate monitoring
Our deformation monitoring survey service measures and tracks changes in objects, buildings, and structures to validate alterations in their form or dimensions. These changes are often caused by external stresses such as applied loads, and our surveys are crucial for risk and hazard management. Deformation monitoring surveys are essential for logging measured values that are used for deformation analysis, predictive maintenance, and risk management. Common applications include civil engineering projects like dams, tunnels, roads, bridges, and viaducts. At Red Laser Scanning, we deliver detailed deformation monitoring surveys across London and the UK, providing expert analysis and detailed reports to ensure the structural integrity of your projects.

Applications of deformation survey
Mitigating risks with precise deformation monitoring
A deformation monitoring and control surveying system is essential for practical control of hazards related to potential structural alterations. Deformation surveys reduce risk exposure before and during the construction phase and throughout the lifecycle of a building or structure. These surveys are particularly important in areas with a higher risk of earthquakes or land deformation. Without a thorough deformation survey procedure, these conditions can significantly impact land and buildings, leading to costly and potentially dangerous outcomes.
Precision tools for accurate deformation monitoring
Precision tools for accurate deformation monitoring
At Red Laser, we specialise in deformation survey procedures using advanced geodetic measuring devices, such as total stations, levels, and GPS receivers, along with advanced geotechnical equipment, to deliver highly accurate deformation surveys. Our expert surveyors utilise the latest laser scanning technology to measure and monitor objects and structures subject to deformation. Whether it’s structural deformities in an oil storage tank or additional loading on a bridge, our team provides the expertise and technology needed to ensure your project’s safety and success.

What is a deformation survey?
A deformation survey is the measuring and tracking of objects to verify alterations in their shapes or dimensions.
What is the purpose of a deformation survey?
Deformation surveys provide specialist engineers with important input data that will be used in the analysis of the structural deformation. It will allow actions to be taken to deal with the causes/consequences in order to mitigate or eliminate possible risks and structural safety.
What can you monitor and track through deformation surveys?
Deformation surveys are carried out to monitor the following sample structures:
- Dams and embankments
- Rail tracks
- Tunnels
- Buildings
- Retaining walls
- Bridge supports, beams, and columns
- Landslides and settlements
- Structural cracks and load testing measurements
What will you receive?
Our experienced surveying team offers extensive geotechnical monitoring, providing detailed reports and expert analysis. You will also find, if any, detailed reporting of changes and modifications.
What 3D laser technology do we use?
Our deformation surveys employ the latest geodetic measuring devices, such as total stations, levels and GPS receivers and geotechnical measuring devices for satisfactory results.
