Structural monitoring

Monitor the impact of industrial activities on surrounding infrastructure with Worldsensing’s Vibration Meter, designed to operate in compliance with industry standards for building integrity (DIN4150-3 and BS7385-2).

Monitor the pot bearing pressure and displacement through pressure sensors, extensometers or crackmeters. Control the joint expansions and contractions wirelessly connecting these sensors to Analog, Digital or Vibrating Wire data loggers.

Ensure the proper functionality of anchor systems -active and passive- by monitoring in a representative sample the load throughout their lifecycle including the load tests and stressing works. Stream data wirelessly from most of the load cells based on resistive strain gauges available in the market using the Piconode analog data logger. The 5-channel Vibrating Wire and the Digital Logger can also be suitable, depending on the type of load cell.

Crack meters available in the market can be readily connected to a Vibrating Wire 1-channel data logger or the Piconode to monitor movement across surface cracks.

Monitor the tensional states of concrete tunnel linings using a NATM connected to a Vibrating Wire 5-channel data logger.

Monitor settlement, heave and building response to tunneling and excavation with a liquid level settlement system connected to the Analog 4-channel data loggers or the digital data logger. Alternatively, you can use tiltmeters attached to a rigid beam and installed in a chain.

Attach VW Strain Gauges to the steel arch supported by arc welding them directly to the steel arch to achieve long-term strain measurements of the structural element. Connect the gauges to the Vibrating Wire 5-channel data logger. Additionally, it is possible to embed VW Strain Gauges in the shotcrete to measure strains within the tunnel lining.

Assess the tangential and radial stresses in shotcrete support for underground excavations with pressure cells connected to the Vibrating Wire 5-channel data logger.

Monitor static deflections of piles, piers, and decks using Tilt-XHP. Enhance data robustness with a 3-in-1 Laser Tiltmeter, which includes distance laser measurements to a reference point in the monitoring process.

Total pressure cells at different orientations and piezometers can be connected to a 5-channel Vibrating Wire data logger to interpret the behavior of the paste backfilling and the load on the barricade.

Assess soil water tension and moisture with a tensiometer and a granular matrix sensor both connected to an Analog Data Logger. Additionally, measure volumetric water content with a soil moisture sensor connected to a Piconode. You can also connect the Digital Logger to one or a chain of digital tensiometers.

The Digital Logger can be utilized to read and transmit the 3-D stress measurements from HID cells via a digital converter.
