FoundationScan aids in the analysis of structural data. The app focuses on three sets of measurements: Vertical Level, Topography and Wall Profile comparisons. The user enters data in a loop around the building for the Vertical Level, changes in floor height for the Topography and deviation from a flat wall for the Wall Profile. Several series of data can be taken over time to monitor structural changes. The structural data is displayed as a series of line graphs for the Vertical Level, and as heat maps for the Topography and Wall Profile. FoundationScan also lists scheduled jobs, and can share acquired structural data through several channels.
