## Real-time construction movement data — precise to the mm, dB & Hz

Construction is fast-paced — but the ground and structures around your site don’t always keep up. Even minor settlement, vibration, or deformation can lead to cracks, costly claims, or regulatory issues. Lil Mount Monitoring provides real-time solutions that detect movement early, track it clearly, and alert you fast enough to act.

## Our Solutions

### Settlement Monitoring

Track vertical ground and foundation movement with millimeter accuracy. Settlement monitoring protects adjacent buildings, utilities, and infrastructure from construction-related ground loss or soil compression.

Typical applications:

- - Excavation support systems
    - Adjacent property protection
    - Utility corridor stability

[SETTLEMENT MONITORING](https://lilmount.ca/solutions/settlement-monitoring?hsLang=en)

![high rise construction - R](https://lilmount.ca/hs-fs/hubfs/high%20rise%20construction%20-%20R.webp?width=600&height=800&name=high%20rise%20construction%20-%20R.webp "high rise construction - R")

![high rise construction - L](https://lilmount.ca/hs-fs/hubfs/high%20rise%20construction%20-%20L.webp?width=600&height=800&name=high%20rise%20construction%20-%20L.webp "high rise construction - L")

### Deformation Monitoring

Detect horizontal, vertical, and angular changes across structures and ground surfaces. Deformation monitoring ensures compliance with design tolerances and prevents costly surprises.

Typical applications:

- - Shoring walls and retaining systems
    - Bridge decks and abutments
    - Tunnels and underground infrastructure

[DEFORMATION MONITORING](https://lilmount.ca/solutions)

### Movement Monitoring

Capture both transient and long-term movement caused by construction activity, excavation, or [vibration](https://lilmount.ca/services/vibration-monitoring?hsLang=en). Our monitoring systems provide automated alerts when thresholds are exceeded, so you can respond before minor movement becomes structural damage.

Typical applications:

- - High-rise excavation near transit corridors
    - Rail and highway embankments
    - Sensitive heritage buildings

[MOVEMENT MONITORING](https://lilmount.ca/solutions)

## Solutions FAQ

### What is the difference between settlement, deformation, and movement monitoring?

Settlement monitoring focuses on vertical ground movement, deformation monitoring covers overall changes in shape or position (horizontal, vertical, angular), and movement monitoring captures any shifts caused by vibration or construction activity. Together, these solutions safeguard both ground and structures.

### How accurate are your monitoring systems?

Our AMTS and prism setups achieve millimeter-level accuracy, with tiltmeters and vibration monitors capturing sensitive changes instantly. Accuracy is maintained through traceable baselines, regular calibration, and consistent timestamps.

### Do I need settlement monitoring for every project?

Not always. Settlement monitoring is most important for deep excavations, projects near transit or utilities, and sites with soft soil. For smaller projects, a pre-construction survey or vibration monitoring may be enough. We tailor solutions to your project’s risk profile.

### Will I receive alerts if thresholds are exceeded?

Yes. Our systems are configured to send SMS and email notifications when pre-set thresholds are breached, allowing you to act before issues escalate.

### Do monitoring reports meet regulatory requirements?

Absolutely. Our reporting formats are designed to satisfy municipal requirements, engineering reviews, and insurance documentation. We provide monthly reports as well as on-demand data access through dashboards.

### How do pre-construction condition surveys fit into monitoring solutions?

Condition surveys document baseline property conditions before work begins. Combined with settlement, deformation, and movement monitoring, they provide clear before-and-after evidence, reducing disputes and protecting all parties.
