CKL supported emergency foundation repair work on Auckland’s historic Ferry Building by delivering real-time structural monitoring using advanced electronic theodolite scanning and tilt sensors.
As a Category 1 heritage building situated on reclaimed land, the Ferry Building required careful observation during stabilisation work. CKL installed electronic tilt sensors that recorded data 24/7 at pre-set intervals, enabling live monitoring throughout the repair process.
These wireless sensors transmitted data to a secure online platform, giving engineers and stakeholders instant access and automated alerts if pre-set movement thresholds were triggered. Simultaneously, our team conducted reflectorless scanning using an electronic theodolite to capture precise settlement and tilt measurements, without the need for physical contact with the structure.
The combination of automated monitoring and remote scanning ensured that work could proceed safely while protecting one of Auckland’s most iconic waterfront landmarks.
