Monitoring of critical infrastructure

Bridges, tunnels, dams and buildings are constantly responding to traffic, wind, temperature changes and other environmental influences. Over time, even subtle changes in vibration behavior can provide valuable clues about structural fatigue, overloads or emerging material defects.

That makes Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) an essential tool for understanding how critical assets perform throughout their lifecycle.

ASC offers inertial sensor technologies covering a broad spectrum of structural monitoring requirements. The ultra-low-noise ASC EQ series captures extremely small accelerations, while the laser-welded ASC OS-115LN provides precise low-frequency measurement in demanding environmental conditions. For higher-frequency structural dynamics, the ASC OS-125MF expands the measurement range. A key advantage of these sensor models is the detachable connecting cable, which simplifies the integration of the measurement equipment into the infrastructure.

For applications requiring highly dynamic vibration measurement, MMF IEPE piezoelectric accelerometers, available through ASC, complement the portfolio with compact, lightweight and robust solutions.

Jointly, these technologies provide the precise, reproducible data that engineers need for long-term monitoring, structural analysis and informed maintenance decisions.

Because understanding how infrastructure moves is key to understanding how well it will endure.
