In May 2003 the fascia panel on the upstream side of Span seven of Westminster Bridge was removed. During the night time operation CMCS monitored the change in load in the temporary supporting props which were hung off the main rib supports of the road deck, as well as measure movements of the supporting piers.

The photgraph above shows the bridge at night with Span seven lit by flood lights for safety reasons. General movements of the parapet and piers as well as the temporary props were monitored using CMCS's TCA 2003 (half second) Total Station, seen on the left. Data from both the fixed sensor automatic monitoring systems and Total Station were presented to the engineers in charge of work using CMCS software.

The photograph (above right) shows the rear of Mansfield College Oxford which CMCS surveyed during the construction of a 10 m deep excavation to form a new Chemistry department for the college. The listed building, including the Church on the left, were surveyed using a NA 3003 barcode instrument. Unique to CMCS was the method of fixing the targets so that the structure of the building was not disfigured by 0attaching the surveying reference points. In the patch of stonework shown on the left is a 2mm stainless steel pin (almost impossible to see) which held short lengths of invar barcode so as to monitor the movements of both buildings shown above.
