Optical Monitoring Services by Big Apple Group: Precision Tracking of Structural Movement
Big Apple Group offers advanced optical monitoring services, designed to meticulously track and report both horizontal and vertical structural movements during construction activities. Our process involves strategically setting points at various locations around the perimeter of the construction site. From these points, we establish a baseline against which all future measurements are compared.
This baseline serves as a critical reference for ongoing monitoring, allowing our team to accurately gauge any settlement or movement of structures adjacent to the construction area. Our comprehensive reporting system ensures that all data gathered is thoroughly analyzed and presented in a clear, concise manner, providing valuable insights into the structural integrity of nearby buildings and structures.
Choose Big Apple Group for dependable optical monitoring services, where precision, accuracy, and comprehensive reporting are key to safeguarding structures during the dynamic phases of construction
Crack Monitoring Services by Big Apple Group: Ensuring Structural Integrity
Big Apple Group offers specialized crack monitoring services, using “Telltales” or crack gauges, to ensure the structural integrity of permanent structures on neighboring properties during construction activities. These gauges, typically made of clear plastic and measuring 1-inch tall by 6-inches long, are expertly installed in locations specified by the client and the engineer on record (EOR).
The installation process involves securing the two halves of the gauge on opposite sides of an existing crack, using either epoxy glue or direct fasteners. This design allows the halves to overlap, enabling them to detect and measure relative movements to the nearest 1 mm on a graduated scale. This precise measurement capability makes monitoring crack widths in concrete buildings, bridges, and roads both easy and reliable.
