Deformation Monitoring in Burnaby

Buildings, embankments, retaining walls and bridges move. Sometimes the movement matters. Repeat LiDAR scans at known intervals, processed for change-detection, quantify movement over time at sub-millimetre resolution. We deliver these for geotechnical firms, infrastructure owners and forensic engineers needing to document deformation. Output is a comparison dataset highlighting where movement has occurred, by how much, and in what direction.

Mall and transit-hub facility scans, point-cloud capture for institutional buildings on SFU's Burnaby Mountain campus.

Burnaby's built environment — concrete high-rises around Metrotown/Brentwood, 1960s–80s single-family residential, light-industrial in Big Bend — shapes how deformation monitoring is delivered locally. Burnaby's split personality — rapidly densifying tower districts in Metrotown, Brentwood and Lougheed alongside long-established residential pockets — means leak detection here ranges from 50-storey concrete inspections to mid-century bungalow plumbing.
