Is Your Infrastructure Secured?

If you are not using an integrated structural health monitoring system to track the vitals of your bridge in real time, you are exposing your assets to serious risk.
Bridges are particularly susceptible to aging and deterioration due to overloading, heavy traffic, physical impact, and weathering resulting from wind, rain, snow, and extreme temperatures. In addition, natural disasters such as earthquakes, landslides, fires, and floods can negatively affect the load-bearing capacity of bridge systems. Fatigue, slope creep, and vibrations from nearby construction sites can also cause damage over time.

 

Structural damage can take place gradually or in an instant; examples include wood decay and metal corrosion. In any case, repairs are almost always costly and time-consuming. More importantly, the failure to address structural issues as and when they arise could lead to loss of lives.
The MS Gecko Monitoring System is critical for ensuring the safety and integrity of your assets. By continuously monitoring and reporting on the state of the entire bridge system, it allows you to make informed and timely decisions and mitigate any risks.

What Monitoring Approach Is Right for You?

 

The MS Gecko Structural Health Monitoring System can be used to address both short- and long-term monitoring needs.

Whether you are looking to implement continuous bridge monitoring or only need portable testing, the MS Gecko System will deliver 24/7 diagnostics on the health of your infrastructure.

The Key Advantages of the MS Gecko Monitoring System

 

  • INTEGRATED MONITORING SOLUTIONS

    Your building is unique and complex. Our ultra-sensitive, state-of-the-art sensors will deliver comprehensive custom solutions that fully match all your needs.

  • INCREASED SAFETY

    Detecting issues as and when they arise is essential for ensuring the integrity of your infrastructure and preventing any damage. More importantly, it helps protect people and the environment — and may even save lives.

  • EXTENDED BUILDING LIFETIME

    Once a building is erected, it starts to age — and, unfortunately, if left to their own devices, buildings do not age like fine wine. Effective structural monitoring systems help you detect and repair any damage early on, which can significantly extend the lifetime of your building.

  • INCREASED MARKET VALUE

    The addition of state-of-the-art wireless sensors and fiber-optic monitoring systems to your building will increase its market value, resulting in a higher return on investment.

  • LOWER INSURANCE AND MAINTENANCE COSTS

    The MS Gecko Monitoring System allows you to fix issues early on before they can result in lasting damage. That boosts the health of your building, extends its operational life, and reduces your maintenance and insurance costs.

  • REAL-TIME INFORMATION AFTER CRITICAL EVENTS

    Whether it is earthquakes, storms, floods, or explosions, unfortunate and unpredictable events happen all the time. While you cannot prevent them, with the MS Gecko Monitoring System, you will be able to evaluate any damage and system failures in the immediate aftermath of critical events.
