Why do we monitor structural health?

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is essential for a wide range of structures, including bridges, wind farms, pipelines, tunnels, oil rigs, ships, planes, and trains as well as other related infrastructures. These structures are constantly exposed to internal and external factors that can lead to wear, malfunction, or damage. Factors such as deterioration, construction errors, lack of quality control, accidents, or environmental loads can contribute to structural issues

Advanced monitoring solutions for bridges and tunnels

Implementing a robust monitoring system is crucial to observe material changes and detect anomalies in structural behaviour, ensuring the safety of users and of the infrastructure. By identifying issues in a timely manner, maintenance and repair actions can be implemented more efficiently, resulting in reduced operating costs.
