Introduction

What is structural health monitoring for buildings?

 

Buildings are incredibly complex structures. From towering high-rises and sprawling stadiums to family townhouses and historical monuments, they consist of thousands of elements that interact with their environment and with each other at all times.

 

As these systems are in a state of constant flux, structural changes are a given. They accumulate gradually but can also happen in an instant, in a major event such as an earthquake or a flood. In either case, the sum total of these structural changes will determine the health and lifetime of your building over time.

 

That is where structural integrity monitoring comes in. It uses infrastructure monitoring sensors to deliver real-time data on the state of a building.

 

The MS Gecko Monitoring System goes a step further than that. We are proud to offer next-generation structural monitoring solutions that not only collect reliable data but also provide you with detailed analyses.

 

Our buildings monitoring services include baseline structural health reports, maintaining long-term SHM factoring in equipment degradation, and rapid condition screening in the aftermath of extreme events.

 

This way, we empower you to make informed decisions at each stage of your building’s life.

What Types of Infrastructure Can Be Monitored?

MS Gecko provides asset integrity monitoring solutions to nearly all types of buildings. If you would like to know what we could do for your building, get in touch today for an expert consultation.

Is Your Infrastructure Secured?

There is more to structural integrity and security than erecting a well-planned building using the highest-quality materials — although that is definitely a must. We live in uncertain times, and the need for structural health monitoring has never been more acute. If you are not using a building monitoring service, you are putting your assets at severe risk.

What Monitoring Approach Is Right for You?

If you are looking for dynamic, real-time diagnostics on the health of a structure in the aftermath of an extreme event, you need a portable health monitoring system that can provide quick, reliable, and actionable information on the go.

 

Alternatively, you may need continuous structural health monitoring of buildings to support your ongoing construction, operation, and maintenance activities.

 

In either case, the MS Gecko Structural Health Monitoring System (SHM) for buildings is your best choice. Our versatile state-of-the-art system can be used for effective long-term monitoring as well as for portable testing.

STRUCTURE

We embed our health monitoring system within your existing structures. As a result, we are able to collect and process data in real time.

DATA TRANSFER AND STORAGE MECHANISM

All data is transferred and stored in a secure manner.

SENSORS

We use a wide array of fine-tuned sensors for structural monitoring that pick up even the slightest changes in the infrastructure and its surroundings.

DATA MANAGEMENT

The MS Gecko Monitoring System comes with built-in data management services that handle all your data in an integrated way.

DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEMS

Once collected by the sensors, the information on the structural health of your building is fed into our data acquisition systems for further analysis and processing.

DATA INTERPRETATION AND DIAGNOSIS

We analyze and turn raw data into actionable reports. Our data analysis services include:

  • System identification
  • Structural model update
  • Structural condition assessment
  • Prediction of remaining service life

The Benefits of the MS Gecko Monitoring System

The MS Gecko Structural Monitoring System delivers real-time, actionable information on the structural integrity and health of your buildings. Our system can be used for both continuous monitoring and portable ad-hoc diagnostics. In either case, our reports will allow you to detect and address problems as soon as they arise and make informed decisions going forward.

 

As a result, you will save time, money, resources, and manpower. You will also streamline your ongoing operations and maintenance activities — allowing you to focus on doing what you do best.

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.
