Time-lapse monitoring gives you a clear visual record of your project from start to finish.
At JWG, we support clients across rail, infrastructure and construction projects throughout the UK. As part of Survey Solutions, we can also provide access to specialist time-lapse monitoring technology through Site-Eye, helping project teams track progress, review key stages and showcase completed works.
Whether you need short-term monitoring for a possession, installation or key project stage, or long-term cameras for a full construction programme, we can help you find the right setup.
What is time-lapse monitoring?
Time-lapse monitoring uses fixed cameras to capture regular images of a project over time.
These images can be uploaded to a secure online portal, allowing project teams to check progress remotely, review timestamped images and keep a clear visual record of the works.
At completion, the images can also be turned into a professional time-lapse film for reporting, handover, stakeholder updates or marketing.
Why use time-lapse monitoring?
Time-lapse monitoring is useful when progress needs to be seen, not just explained.
It can help with:
- Progress tracking
- Remote project viewing
- Stakeholder updates
- Possession and weekend works records
- Monthly reporting
- Handover material
- Project films and marketing content
It gives clients, contractors and project teams a simple way to see what has happened, when it happened and how the project has moved forward.
Suitable for short-term and long-term projects
Time-lapse monitoring can be used for defined stages or full project programmes.
Short-term monitoring is useful for:
- Weekend possessions
- Overnight works
- Crane lifts
- Plant installations
- Demolition stages
- Temporary works
- Key construction milestones
Long-term monitoring is useful for:
- Rail upgrades
- Infrastructure schemes
- Station works
- Bridge works
- Depot projects
- Commercial construction
- Regeneration projects
- Energy and utilities projects
