Ozland Survey provides professional monitoring surveys for buildings, structures, infrastructure and ground movement investigations throughout Victoria.

Our monitoring services involve repeated survey measurements over an agreed period to identify and document changes in levels, positions and structural movement. We provide reliable survey information to support engineers, local councils, builders and property owners in assessing movement and monitoring site conditions.

Scope of Survey

Depending on project requirements, our monitoring services may include:

• Settlement Monitoring: Repeated level measurements to assess vertical movement or settlement of buildings, foundations, floors and other structures.
• Structural Movement Monitoring: Monitoring selected points on walls, columns, retaining walls and other structural elements to identify changes in position or level.
• Ground & Surface Monitoring: Monitoring ground levels, pavements, surrounding surfaces and other nominated locations where movement or settlement may occur.
• Infrastructure Monitoring: Periodic surveys of roads, drainage structures, civil infrastructure and adjacent assets where movement assessment is required.
• Monitoring Points & Benchmarks: Establishment of identifiable monitoring points and suitable reference benchmarks to support consistent measurements between survey visits.
• Baseline Survey: Initial measurements to establish reference levels and positions against which subsequent monitoring results can be compared.
• Periodic Monitoring Surveys: Repeat observations at agreed intervals, with the monitoring frequency determined by project requirements.
• Movement Analysis & Reporting: Comparison of survey results to identify measured vertical or horizontal changes, with supporting tables, drawings and monitoring records.

Applications

Our monitoring surveys support building settlement investigations, structural movement assessments, construction-related monitoring, retaining wall investigations, infrastructure monitoring and long-term observation of existing buildings and ground conditions.

Monitoring may be undertaken before, during or after construction works, or over an extended period where engineers and property owners require a reliable record of measured movement.

Survey Deliverables

Depending on the scope of work, deliverables may include:

• Baseline monitoring survey
• Periodic monitoring measurements
• Settlement and movement tables
• Monitoring point location plans
• Comparative level measurements
• Horizontal displacement information
• Movement graphs and summaries
• PDF monitoring reports
• AutoCAD drawings (DWG)
• Survey control and benchmark details
• Site photographs and records
• Final monitoring summary report

Monitoring Programs & Reporting

Monitoring programs are tailored to the requirements of each project, including the location and number of monitoring points, survey methodology, measurement frequency and reporting arrangements.

Results are compared with previous survey observations to document measured changes over time. Where movement thresholds are specified by the project engineer, the reported measurements can assist in evaluating whether further engineering assessment is required.

Ozland Survey provides clear, consistent monitoring records to support informed engineering decisions and ongoing assessment of buildings and infrastructure.
