Moniteye cWireless monitoring solutions movement monitor (Crack and tilt)

A dual-purpose wireless sensor that monitors both crack width displacement and structural tilt. Featuring a long-life battery and instant cellular alerts, it provides demolition and groundworking teams with an automated way to detect structural movement before it becomes a safety risk or a legal liability.

Dual-Axis Tilt and Crack Tracking: Simultaneously monitors structural inclination and crack width changes to provide a multi-dimensional view of structural health.
Wireless IoT Connectivity: Utilizes cellular or long-range radio networks to transmit data to the cloud, eliminating the need for complex site wiring and cabling.
Millimetric Precision: Features high-resolution sensors capable of detecting sub-millimeter movements, ensuring early warning of potential structural issues.
Extended Battery Life: Designed with ultra-low power consumption for multi-year autonomous operation on internal batteries, reducing the need for site maintenance.

Full Description

For house builders and groundworking contractors, protecting neighbouring properties is as important as the build itself. The Moniteye wireless monitor replaces manual "tell-tales" with high-frequency digital data. The unit can be configured to measure the widening of a crack (displacement) or the leaning of a wall (tilt), providing a 24/7 safety net during piling, excavation, or demolition phases. The system is completely off-grid, using an internal battery and a built-in GSM transmitter to push data to the cloud. This means there are no cables to install and no need for site power. If a structure moves beyond a pre-set safety limit (as small as 0.1mm or a fraction of a degree), the system triggers an instant SMS or email notification. This allows site managers to halt work immediately and investigate, providing the documented evidence needed to satisfy party wall surveyors and insurance providers.

FAQs

Why is monitoring both crack and tilt important for house builders?

Structural failure rarely happens in just one way. A wall might lean before a crack opens, or a crack might widen due to ground settlement. Monitoring both ensures house builders have a complete picture of structural health during heavy groundworks.

How does the system help with Party Wall agreements?

It provides a transparent, timestamped record of structural movement. If a neighbour claims your demolition work caused a crack, you can use historical data to prove whether the movement was pre-existing or caused by environmental factors like temperature.

How long does the battery last on a standard hire?

Depending on how often the unit transmits data, the internal battery can last for over a year. This makes it ideal for long-term house building projects where constant maintenance isn’t practical.

Is the unit wireless and easy to move?

Yes. The monitor is entirely self-contained with no external wiring. It can be easily relocated by our team as your demolition or groundworking phase progresses to different parts of the site.

What is the Fact-Finding accuracy of the sensors?

The sensors are incredibly sensitive, detecting movements as small as 0.01mm for cracks and 0.01 degrees for tilt. This precision allows for early warning detection long before movement is visible to the naked eye.

How are the alerts delivered to site managers?

Alerts are sent via SMS or email the moment a threshold is breached. This ensures that groundworkers can react in real-time to prevent accidental damage to adjacent structures.

Can it withstand the dust and vibrations of a demolition site?

Absolutely. The Moniteye units are housed in rugged, weatherproof enclosures designed specifically for the harsh environments of demolition and piling sites.

Does the system account for seasonal movement?

Yes. The monitors record ambient temperature alongside movement data. This helps engineers distinguish between normal thermal expansion and actual structural shifts caused by earthworks.

How do I view the weekly or monthly reports?

All data is accessible via a secure web portal. We can also provide automated weekly or monthly reports that summarise all activity, making it easy to keep stakeholders and local authorities informed.

Do you offer full installation for these units?

Yes. We provide a comprehensive installation service, ensuring the sensors are correctly calibrated and positioned on the most critical structural points.
