What is Structural Monitoring?
Structural monitoring is the process of continuously or periodically observing a structure, to assess conditions, performance and safety over time. It involves the use of sensors and measurement systems to collect data on factors such as strain, vibration, displacement, temperature, and cracking. By analysing this information, our clients can detect early signs of deterioration, damage, or unexpected behaviour, allowing maintenance and repairs to be planned before serious problems develop. Structural monitoring helps to improve safety, extend the service life of infrastructure, reduce maintenance costs, and ensure that structures continue to perform as intended under operational and environmental loads.
Our services can help to identify, track, and react to the movement of buildings, and structures and natural features, such as rock slopes. Remote monitoring these assets and slopes provides real-time data which can be used for emergency response or for long-term mitigation of risks.
