At Remote Datum, we deliver tailored structural monitoring solutions for projects of every scale—from heritage façades to critical water infrastructure—across the UK. Our field-proven systems combine rugged sensors with secure data delivery to give project teams live, actionable information on movement, load and environmental effects, maintaining safety and programme certainty.
Using wireless IoT sensors, we integrate specialist services such as building crack monitoring, vibration monitoring and concrete temperature monitoring into a single, intuitive dashboard. Whether you require short-term construction assurance or long-term asset management, our monitoring packages provide clear evidence for compliance, early-warning alerts for risk mitigation and the confidence to keep projects moving efficiently.
Cracks & rotation in façades, soffits, and structural elements are early warning signs that should never be ignored. Our building crack monitoring service provides continuous, high-precision measurement of structural movement, detecting even sub-millimetre change in real time. Powered by resilient IoT sensors and cloud-based analytics, our system delivers 24/7 monitoring, instant alerts, and clear trend reporting—giving asset owners the confidence to act early, protect their assets, and avoid costly repairs, disruption, or failure. With reliable data you can trust, we help you move from reactive repairs to proactive structural risk management..
At critical assets such as water-pumping stations, our remote structural monitoring systems employ dependable tilt and displacement sensors to track movement around the clock. Readings are relayed to a secure online dashboard, giving engineers quick insight into emerging trends and allowing maintenance to be planned before disruption occurs. This straightforward approach delivers a clear, auditable picture of structural health without unnecessary complexity.
Our modular fleet of IoT sensors delivers cost-effective, remote monitoring across multiple parameters—strain, temperature, vibration and more—with all live readings consolidated on a single, intuitive dashboard. Customisable text and e-mail alerts ensure that key personnel are notified the moment thresholds are breached, enabling rapid, evidence-based decision-making and reducing the need for site visits.
During construction works, excessive vibration can compromise delicate masonry and finishes. Our vibration monitoring service places tri-axial vibration sensors on vulnerable elements —to track peak particle velocity (PPV) and frequency in real time against BS 7385 and other project-specific limits. Automatic alerts and clear graphical reports give contractors the confidence to proceed safely while protecting surrounding structures and stakeholders.
Controlling heat of hydration is critical on concrete pours. Remote Datum Ltd's low cost, easy to install twin-sensor concrete temperature monitoring solution records internal and ambient temperatures throughout curing, allowing engineers to model differential gradients, estimate early-age strength and optimise formwork removal. Continuous, remote access to this data mitigates thermal-cracking risk and supports rigorous quality assurance.
At Remote Datum, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional monitoring services across the entire UK, including mainland England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. Our structural monitoring and environmental monitoring solutions are showcased through our extensive case studies. Each project highlights our commitment to precision and reliability, ensuring that no matter where your project is located, Remote Datum has the expertise and coverage to meet your monitoring needs.
Below you’ll find answers to the questions we’re asked most often about our structural monitoring services. If you need further clarification or wish to discuss a project in detail, our engineers are always happy to help.
Structural monitoring is the continuous or periodic measurement of movement, load and environmental effects on a structure. By identifying early signs of distress, it helps owners comply with safety regulations, avoid costly repairs and protect the public. Our structural monitoring packages provide the objective data needed to make timely, evidence-based decisions.
We regularly monitor bridges, retaining walls, embankments, water-processing assets, heritage façades and temporary works. Specialist services—including building crack monitoring, vibration monitoring and concrete temperature monitoring—allow us to tailor a solution to almost any civil or structural application.
Our wireless IoT sensors log readings at user-defined intervals and transmit them to a secure online dashboard. Authorised stakeholders can review live values, historical trends and automated reports from any web-enabled device.
Not necessarily. Many of our sensor nodes are battery-powered or solar-assisted and use mobile networks to transmit data, removing the need for fixed mains or broadband. Where local power is available, we can integrate it to extend battery life further.
Yes. You can set project-specific limits—such as crack width, peak particle velocity or temperature differential—and receive instant SMS or e-mail notifications when these limits are breached, enabling rapid mitigation.
Simply contact our engineering team with basic project details (location, structure type, monitoring duration and any particular concerns). We will review your requirements, recommend an appropriate monitoring option and provide a fixed, itemised quotation—usually within two working days.
