High Precision Monitoring
High Precision Monitoring facilitates the identification of any movement or deformation in a building, structure or landscape environment. Utilising precise survey instrumentation, digital levels and movement detectors, the process measures and tracks the smallest of alterations in terrain conditions. Establishing monitoring strategies allows the recording of how materials used in construction actually settle and adapt in their environment and whether potential stresses on a structure are affected by vertical, level or horizontal movement in the ground.
An example of our High Precision Monitoring work can be viewed below. We have been advising a client from near Papworth in Cambridgeshire on structural damage to their large agricultural grain store. The concrete slab and perimeter ring-beam has been cracking and is thought to be associated with excessive horizontal deflections in the columns rotating about the foundation. The store holds up to 6.5m height of grain, and although it’s possible that the client has been overloading which has contributed to the issue, other factors in the environment could equally be causing problems. Monitoring is on-going through the harvest season to determine what remedies are required.
I first made contact with Tom and the team from Target Site Engineering & Surveys after a personal recommendation of their services two years ago. With the technical landscaping projects we undertake, precision and detail is critical from beginning to end. Target SES has been responsible for setting out and surveying many of our recent projects including Here East in Stratford, Level 10 and 16 Roof Gardens at Principle Place in Shoreditch, the Chelsea Royal Hospital Gardens, and the Silver Gilt Award-Winning Silk Road Garden at this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show. Tom’s work is always meticulous, and that allows us to lay the foundations of our projects with absolute confidence. Willerby Landscapes and Target SES are currently working on further projects in London, Cambridge and Surrey, and I would highly recommend their services to prospective new customers.

A timely and accurate service is what we require from professional surveyors and Target SES provides that. Of all the surveying companies we work with on a regular basis, however, we find Target SES to be most progressive in terms of embracing the latest technology and taking on interesting projects where ’thinking outside the box’ is a must. They are good people to know and work with.
Tom Stebbing
I have had the privilege of working with Tom for over ten years. Tom has supported us on a range of diverse construction projects from reconstruction of sections of the A14, Highways England Award winning Machine Control Project, to upgrading the A13 to facilitate the operation of the new deep water port for D P World at Shellhaven.
Target Site Engineering and Surveying has also worked with me on mineral and waste planning submissions with topographical surveys and volumetric analysis. Their services and commitment are second to none with a superb work ethic.

RG Carter has been using the services of Target Site Engineering and Surveys on approximately fifteen of our building projects for around three years now. Tom and his team have most recently worked with us on the brand new Ford Store in Harlow, as well as a Grain Store in Ipswich Docks, the MMDIC building at Colchester hospital and the STEM building at Walthamstow Forest College.
We call upon Target SES time and again because they offer a prompt, reliable service that’s always delivered to time and budget. Tom’s experience and depth-of-understanding of what’s required on each of our projects is invaluable to us, and that’s why I would highly recommend Target’s services to you.
