HARTFORD STRUCTURAL INSPECTIONS

Real Data.
No Surprises.

Independent construction monitoring, pre-construction surveys, and defensible documentation for projects across the Northeast.

When construction activity creates vibration, movement, noise, or concerns for nearby property, accurate documentation matters. HSI provides the independent monitoring and clear records contractors, developers, and project teams need to stay compliant, respond to claims, and keep work moving.

Since 1999, Hartford Structural Inspections has supported public and private projects with reliable field execution, timely reporting, and data that holds up when questions arise.

We do more than check boxes. We install equipment correctly, document site conditions thoroughly, and give your team clear, unbiased records from the start.

Get the Defensible Data Your Project Needs

Construction Monitoring Services

Wireless Seismograph Installation & Remote Monitoring

We install and maintain wireless seismographs so project teams can monitor jobsite conditions remotely from a computer or smartphone.
Pre/Post-Construction Surveys
We document existing conditions before and after construction through detailed video and photographic surveys. These records help determine whether construction activity is responsible for reported damage.

Vibration Monitoring

Our team monitors vibration from drilling, blasting, excavation, site preparation, sheet driving, and pile driving. We deliver accurate data to support compliance and reduce the risk of disputes.

Sound/Noise Monitoring

We monitor sound and noise levels to help project teams meet municipal requirements, address stakeholder concerns, and maintain clear construction records.

Optical Settlement Monitoring

HSI provides optical settlement monitoring to track movement and identify changes that may affect nearby structures, infrastructure, or site conditions.

Crack Monitoring

We document and monitor existing cracks, so project teams have clear baseline records before, during, and after construction.

Well Water Testing

Our team provides well water testing for construction projects where nearby water resources need to be documented.

What Clients Say

Andrew Cribb
"Frank and team carried out pre-construction surveys at both buildings adjacent to our project in Brooklyn NY. We were preparing to carry out foundation excavation work, including drilling in 20 helical piles. Frank also installed seismic / vibration monitoring, optical settling monitoring, and crack monitors at both the neighboring buildings and serviced them for the duration of our work, providing timely reports to the engineers. All in all, Frank was very helpful and responsive at all stages of this work. We will be using him again for other similar projects. "
Christine G
"Highly recommend! Used them for a project in Manhattan and was very happy with the service. They were able to install quickly and had great customer service. Plan to use them for my upcoming project in Brooklyn! "
Youseok Lim
"The experience with Frank and Christine was seamless. They really helped us understand the monitoring and inspection processes. The service and data provided was fantastic. Definitely would use again!"
