Advanced Displacement & Crack Width Sensors for Structural Integrity
Reliable, real-time monitoring solutions that detect structural movement and cracking with high precision for B2B projects across North America.
Overview
Displacement and crack width sensors are essential tools for detecting movement, settlement, and fissures in structures. These sensors provide precise, real-time data to engineers and asset managers, enabling the early identification of structural degradation, fatigue, and safety risks. By continuously monitoring displacement and crack progression, infrastructure stakeholders can take preventive measures before minor issues become critical failures. These technologies are especially crucial in applications such as bridges, dams, tunnels, high-rise buildings, retaining walls, and heritage structures.
Enviro Structural Monitoring offers a suite of advanced displacement and crack width monitoring technologies tailored for B2B customers throughout North America. Our systems are built for demanding environments and support scalable integration across diverse infrastructure types. As a trusted provider of structural health monitoring solutions, we help organizations meet regulatory standards while optimizing long-term performance and safety.

Case Studies

Bridge Crack Width Monitoring in Pennsylvania (U.S.)
A regional transportation authority deployed wireless crack width sensors across a steel-girder bridge showing signs of fatigue. Our sensor arrays transmitted real-time alerts via LoRaWAN to their cloud dashboard, helping engineers proactively reinforce the critical beam connections and avoid costly emergency repairs.

High-Rise Building Settlement in Houston, Texas (U.S.)
Displacement sensors were installed in the foundation and central columns of a commercial tower to monitor vertical settlement during adjacent excavation. The system helped construction teams dynamically adjust shoring techniques, preventing structural damage and project delays.

Tunnel Crack Detection in Montreal, Quebec (Canada)
To address concerns about tunnel lining integrity in a metro expansion, a public transit agency selected our integrated crack and displacement monitoring solution. The real-time system minimized the need for manual inspections and improved passenger safety assurance.
