Slab & Floor-Level Monitoring
Slab and Floor-Level Monitoring with Sub-Millimetre Accuracy
Detect tilt, settlement and differential movement across slabs and internal floors with continuously-recording precision sensors.
Slab problems often hide in plain sight. A door that won't quite close. A racking aisle that doesn't sit true. A hairline crack across a screed. A floor that feels slightly off underfoot. Each can point to slab movement that traditional level surveys struggle to quantify and that one-off measurements can't track over time.
Our slab and floor-level monitoring service uses continuously-recording sensors deployed across multiple points to capture changes through the day, week and month. For engineers, asset managers and operators, this turns a vague concern into a clear, defensible record , separating background settlement from active movement that needs intervention.
We monitor warehouse and distribution slabs under load, manufacturing facilities with sensitive plant, retail and commercial floors, and residential ground-floor and suspended floor structures across the UK.
What we monitor
Tilt, settlement and the relationship between them.
Slab behaviour is rarely uniform. Multi-point monitoring captures the patterns that single-point surveys miss.
Tilt & rotation
Detect angular changes across slab sections , critical for racking, plant and operational tolerances.
Differential settlement
Compare movement across multiple points to see whether one area is moving relative to another.
Loaded industrial slabs
Monitoring under load tells you how the slab is responding to actual operating conditions, not theoretical ones.
Operational tolerances
For racking-served warehouses and AGV-served sites, even sub-millimetre changes matter , and we can detect them early.
Suspended floors
Suspended timber and concrete floors are equally suitable, with sensors mounted unobtrusively at structural points.
Performance verification
Confirm that newly-poured slabs, post-underpinning floors or stabilised ground actually behave as designed.
Process
A repeatable, measurable approach.
Sensor layout
Engineering review of the slab to agree the right number and pattern of sensors for the question being asked.
Non-disruptive install
Low-profile sensors installed around operations , typically scheduled outside peak hours.
Continuous capture
Daily automated readings via cellular comms, with multi-point trend analysis on the dashboard.
Engineer-grade output
PDF reports for sign-off and CSV data exports for further engineering analysis.
