Frequently asked questions
How is data from monitoring used for maintenance?
The collected data helps identify stress points, wear, and potential failure risks, informing targeted maintenance and repair strategies.
How does remote monitoring work for bridges?
Remote monitoring collects data through wireless sensors that transmit performance indicators, allowing engineers to assess the bridge’s condition without being on-site.
What technologies are used in bridge monitoring?
Our service uses advanced sensor systems, including strain gauges, displacement sensors, and corrosion monitoring tools, to track real-time data about bridge performance.
Are inspections part of the monitoring process?
Yes, regular visual and structural inspections complement the data collected by sensors to ensure comprehensive monitoring and safety assessments.
