Monitoring Surveys | Bay Area 

High-Precision Monitoring to Protect Your Assets and Infrastructure

In the Bay Area’s active seismic environment and dense urban landscape, movement—even by a few millimeters—can be critical. Golden Gate Surveying provides specialized Monitoring Surveys to track the structural integrity of buildings, shoring walls, and slopes. We provide the data-driven "early warning system" you need to mitigate risk during excavation and long-term settlement.

Our Monitoring Capabilities

We utilize millimeter level precision technology to detect horizontal and vertical movement. Our services include:

• Construction Monitoring: Tracking adjacent structures during deep excavations, pile driving, or dewatering.

• Shoring & Retaining Wall Monitoring: Regular check-ins to ensure earth-retention systems are performing as designed.

• Settlement & Deformation Analysis: Long-term monitoring of foundations or slabs to identify structural shifts over time.

Why Precision Matters

Whether you are working on a high-rise in San Francisco or a hillside development in the East Bay, our monitoring reports provide:

1. Liability Protection: Documentation of existing conditions and any movement (or lack thereof) to protect against legal claims.

2. Engineering Compliance: Providing civil and structural engineers with the real-world data required for project safety.

3. Real-Time Alerts: We can establish "trigger levels" that alert your team immediately if movement exceeds pre-defined thresholds.
