for your building
A DEMANDING LANDSCAPE
VIBRATIONS
Construction and excavation activities cause significant ground vibrations that can adversely impact neighboring properties, resulting in cracks, deformations and even structural failure
UNSTABLE FOUNDATIONS
Porous and sandy soils present poor load bearing capacity and can cause differential settlement, leading to uneven distribution of loads and displacement across various sections of the building
HIGH WATER TABLE
Building near sea level poses particular challenges for long-term foundation stability and material degradation due to the corrosive marine environment
WIND LOADS
Particularly in hurricane prone areas wind forces are a major stressor for high-rise structures causing oscillatory movements that challenge their stability and structural integrity
We are dedicated to enhancing safety and awareness in high-rise condominiums and commercial buildings by offering innovative, cost-effective structural health monitoring (SHM) solutions. Understanding the financial challenges faced by many organizations, we provide affordable leasing options with low initial costs.
"A data-driven decision making tool"
By adopting a tailored approach to each project and collaborating closely with highly experienced engineers, we can implement a system that meets the unique requirements of each building. With real-time data collection and analysis, it is possible to determine if the structure is subjected to abnormal external stressors and understand its response to such events
SMARTCORE SOLUTIONS
Vibrational Monitoring
Track frequency and amplitude of ground vibrations resulting from external factors such as traffic or adjacent construction activities. Receive automated alerts and reports when preset thresholds are exceeded
Differential Settlement
Monitor how different parts of the building or foundations settle over time. Highly accurate inclinometers detect the slightest tilt or rotation in real-time, which indicative structural movement and deformation
Structural Performance
Record the static and dynamic responsiveness of a building to external forces such as wind. Real-time accelerometer data enables accurate assessment of the building’s overall structural integrity and resilience
Modular Add-ons
Seamlessly integrate third-party sensors for continuous remote monitoring of other conditions such as cracks, slab vertical deflection and groundwater levels
Sample system setup
The science of Structural Health Monitoring
SHM is the process of continuously monitoring and assessing the condition and performance of structures to ensure their safety, integrity, and longevity. The acquisition of data from strategically positioned sensors, coupled with advanced data processing and analytical tools generate detailed information regarding the responsiveness, integrity, and operational performance of the monitored structure.
Value for all stakeholders
Owners
Structural health monitoring is crucial for building owners as it provides real-time data on the integrity and performance of structures, enabling early detection of potential issues and preventing costly repairs. This proactive approach ensures the safety of occupants and prolongs the lifespan of the building
Managers
Continuous insights into the structural condition of a building is essential for management as it allows for informed decision-making, reducing the risk of unexpected failures. This helps in optimizing preventative maintenance schedules, improving safety, and minimizing operational disruptions
Engineers
Having unrestricted access to live and historical data before, during and after a specific event, allows for more efficient technical assessment and response to problematic areas. The extensive and customizable analytical and reporting tools facilitate time and cost-effective technical investigations and final assessments, ensuring a thorough and accurate understanding of the issues
Insurers
Comprehensive data on the conditions and performance of building allows a proactive approach to maintenance and risk mitigation. Additionally, structural monitoring aids in streamlining claims investigations and reducing the uncertainty and costs associated with assessing damage and liability
