Introduction
The MS Gecko Monitoring System is a state-of-the-art structural safety monitoring technology that can deliver a rapid assessment of the health of your roads and tunnels.
The MS Gecko structural health monitoring sensors provide the following real-time services:
- Vibration monitoring
- Damage detection and structural deformation monitoring
- Immediate assessment of tunnel safety after a major event
- Crack monitoring, including automatic crack detection and classification methods
The system also allows for continuous ground displacement detection over distances from under one to 100 km in between sensors. That makes it possible to reach remote areas where a small landslide or another critical event may go unnoticed.
In addition, the MS Gecko Monitoring System controls the temperature distribution over the entire length of the structure. That increases fire safety and improves existing means of fire alarm control that are only able to control the temperature at certain points.
The results?
Enhanced roads and tunnels safety, optimized system operation and maintenance activities, and reduced risk in tunnel design and construction.
WHAT TYPE OF INFRASTRUCTURE CAN BE MONITORED?
The MS Gecko System offers comprehensive road and tunnel monitoring solutions for a wide variety of infrastructure projects.
Whether you are looking to monitor the slope stability around a tunnel construction or:
- Get a rapid assessment of a tunnel’s state
- Assess motorway tunnel structural load
- Monitor displacement of concrete tunnel sections
- Enhance overall road tunnel safety
… our tunnel monitoring system can deliver all that and more.

Is Your Infrastructure Secured?
If you do not have a system that allows for remote tunnel safety monitoring in real time, then your infrastructure is at risk. The failure to invest in high-quality monitoring equipment shortens the service life of your roads and tunnels and also increases maintenance costs. More importantly, it gives rise to serious health and safety hazards.
So, what is the solution?
Implementing structural monitoring with fiber optic technology can guarantee the tunnel operation safety of your systems. Get in touch with us today to learn more about our safety monitoring solutions, as well as how they can be integrated into your existing infrastructure.
What Monitoring Approach Is Right for You?
The MS Gecko Structural Health Monitoring system can be used to effectively address monitoring as well as portable testing needs.
Do you need ad-hoc, real-time diagnostics on the health of your structures? Or do you require a tunnel safety monitoring system that can carry out continuous, long-term data collection instead?
In either case, the MS Gecko System can be the perfect solution for monitoring structural change, visualizing the condition of roads and tunnels, highway tunnel monitoring, and more.
SENSOR TYPES USED IN MS GECKO ROADS AND TUNNELS STRUCTURAL HEALTH MONITORING
The MS Gecko System relies on the use of distributed fiber optic technology for security monitoring of road tunnels and related infrastructure. Our line of sensors provides all the necessary measurements to monitor the health and structural integrity of your infrastructure.
We use the following sensors for structural safety monitoring of roads and tunnels:
- Tiltmeters
- Weather station
- Humidity sensors
- Temperature sensors
- Airflow monitor (AFM)
- Fiber optics piezometers
- Piezoelectric sensors
- FBG inclinometers
- MEMS accelerometers
- Fiber optics strain gauges
- Fiber optics displacement sensors
- Air quality monitor (measuring NO2, NO, NOx, CO)
- Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors and demodulators
- Distributed fiber optic sensors (DFOSs) and interrogators
Are you still wondering, “But what is structural health monitoring?”
