Overview

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) systems offer critical insights into the behavior, stability, and performance of infrastructure over time. These advanced systems integrate a network of sensors—such as strain gauges, displacement sensors, accelerometers, and fiber optic lines—installed directly into or onto structures to detect stress, deformation, cracks, vibration, and tilting. The information collected allows engineers, contractors, and asset managers to predict failures, enhance maintenance planning, and ensure regulatory compliance. This page provides a detailed exploration of SHM technologies, practical applications, and how each sensor system contributes to data-driven decision-making.

Enviro Structural Monitoring, a leading B2B provider serving clients across North America, offers a complete line of SHM solutions. From smart bridges to high-rise buildings, our tools help clients deploy scalable systems tailored to project size, complexity, and environmental conditions. We specialize in delivering high-precision instruments backed by continuous product development and a robust quality control framework.

Structural Health Monitoring

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) refers to the continuous or periodic assessment of a structure’s condition using embedded or attached sensor technologies. The primary objective is to detect changes in the structural behavior or physical state that may indicate damage, fatigue, or degradation—before these issues become critical. SHM supports infrastructure lifecycle management across bridges, tunnels, buildings, dams, power stations, retaining walls, and towers.

At Enviro Structural Monitoring, we provide comprehensive SHM systems designed to collect, process, and transmit data that empowers real-time decisions. Our technologies are ideal for long-term infrastructure projects and high-risk zones where environmental loads, traffic vibrations, and material fatigue must be constantly assessed. Each sensor type is carefully selected and calibrated to address specific monitoring needs, ranging from micro-strain detection to angular displacement measurement.

Key SHM Sensor Systems We Offer

A flexible electronic circuit with multiple interconnected components is laid out on a transparent sheet, set against a blurred technical blueprint background.

Strain Gauge Sensor Arrays

These sensors monitor internal or surface strain across critical structural elements such as beams, girders, decks, and suspension cables. We offer multi-point and distributed configurations for high-resolution stress mapping.

Displacement and Crack Width Sensors

Ideal for monitoring joint movement or crack progression in concrete, masonry, and steel structures. Our solutions detect micrometer-level shifts and provide alerts for threshold breaches.

It illustrates distributed and bayibuted sensing, with labeled parts including a pressure sensor, strain sensor, and temperature sensor reading 25.3°C. A digital display shows data such as 150 kPa and graph lines, highlighting the system's monitoring capabilities.

Fiber Optic Sensing Systems (FOS)

Using technologies like Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBG) and Brillouin scattering, FOS systems allow long-distance, multiplexed sensing of strain, temperature, and vibration—especially valuable in tunnels and dams.

Tiltmeters and Inclinometers

Designed for measuring angular rotation or lateral displacement of vertical or sloped elements, including retaining walls, towers, and earthworks. We supply both uniaxial and triaxial versions with robust environmental protection.

Accelerometers and Vibration Sensors

Used to detect modal frequencies, damping ratios, and dynamic responses under load conditions. These sensors are key in seismic regions and for bridges subject to vehicle-induced vibrations.
