Project Details
Many of these building were extremely sensitive and ITM Monitoring, now SOCOTEC Monitoring UK Ltd, was contracted by Taylor Woodrow BAM Nuttall (TWBN) to monitor the Grade 1 listed building, The House of St Barnabas in Soho Square.
ITM Monitoring worked alongside TWBN to develop a bespoke monitoring system consisting of electrolevel beams, tilt sensors and precise levelling points. A unique wireless tilt meter system was also discreetly installed underneath the floor boards. Fixed to the ceiling joists, this system reported data back to ARGUS every 15 minutes to provide critical twist information during localised compensation grouting works. All data from the automated systems was collected using Campbell Scientific based dataloggers and the client was provided access to ITM Monitoring’s web-based software, ARGUS.
