She will share about what structural/geotechnical monitoring services is, how ECS services differ from surveyors and encourage you if you want to start a new project or service line offering. Resources mentioned:  All Trails App Some of Kelly’s key takeaways on structural/geotechnical monitoring services: Most of the monitoring services are introduced to the team when the design team and project owner are working on their permits for a new construction project, however, the bulk of the monitoring work is performed during the construction phase of a project when installing equipment and doing the active monitoring. Surveying vs. monitoring: our monitoring services report on changes of existing features to help advise the design team. If you have an idea of a new service line or want to start a new project within ECS, be sure to understand your clients’ needs, what resources are available to you and raise your hand!
