Subsidence is a specific term that relates to the motion of the ground or the earth’s surface as it moves down. However, the term is colloquially used to describe the movements of a building/structure relative to the surrounding ground and the damage that may be caused by such movements.
In general parlance the term subsidence is used when the damage is by the upward or downward movement of the surrounding ground. In the UK it is highly unusual for subsidence to cause the total destruction of a building/structure except where there is extreme coastal erosion.
However, that does not mean that subsidence damage cannot be considerable and can deny the owner/occupier the use of a building where subsidence has occurred.
There is a substantial list of culprits that can cause structural property damage, including:-
Precision gauges, displacement lasers and tilt sensors are available across County Durham, Tyne and Wear and Northumberland, helping you verify masonry stability before work proceeds.
Total stations, load cells and strain gauges safeguard new and historic structures throughout Newcastle, Sunderland, Durham and surrounding towns.
Wireless loggers and gateways create reliable networks around sites in Middlesbrough, Stockton-on-Tees, Hartlepool and beyond, pushing data to the cloud with minimal power draw.
Triaxial geophones and accelerometers track piling, demolition and blasting levels across Gateshead, South Shields, Darlington and rural locations.
Embedded thermocouples and maturity sensors give live curing data on pours from Redcar & Cleveland to Blyth, keeping quality on schedule.
Class 1 sound level meters document compliance in urban or sensitive areas throughout the Tyne and Tees corridors.
Turbidity probes protect watercourses near works in coastal and inland parts of the region.
Optical particle counters measure PM₁₀/PM₂.₅ around active sites, supporting mitigation plans under changing weather conditions.
