Structural Monitoring Extends the Lifespan of Large Buildings

 

Looking at the size and solidity of huge buildings makes it appear as if they will last forever. We know that isn’t so, but there is a great deal your engineers can do to preserve these structures, such as colleges, public buildings, and hospitals. Taking measures to protect these buildings means they’ll stand up to the test of time.

We recommend structural monitoring for the commercial or industrial buildings you own. This system of control panels collects data from sensors in the structure that allow your engineers to track changes. Comparing real-time data points out problems and prompts maintenance and repairs. 

Data That Informs, Protects, & Preserves

Make use of a building monitoring system to make timely repairs. The sensors may show the increase of corrosion, an accumulation of cracks and lines, or deviations from the vertical. This is vital information that tells your engineers about the type of repairs necessary and a time frame with which to work.

Use the information you gain from structural monitoring to boost the safety and longevity of the structure, reduce maintenance costs, and prolong the working life of the building. It makes sense to safeguard your investment.

Structural Monitoring Protects the Investment in Your Building

That huge building you own is a significant investment that you want to last, so it pays for itself and more. The best way to do this is with structural monitoring. The newest generation of control panels plays host to sensor technologies that provide data logging and programmable alarm and alert functionality in this process. This building health monitoring system lets you accurately track the data in real-time. 

With such solid information, your engineers see what’s going on with your warehouse, sports arena, college, or office building. This allows them to recommend maintenance that prevents or corrects problems that could shorten the longevity of your investment. 

Collecting Data for Physical & Mechanical Damage

Structural monitoring provides data in two main areas – physical and mechanical damage. We’re talking about factors, such as temperature and humidity, which lead to corrosion and oxidation by physical damage. This also includes damage done by mold, plants, and insects, which can be significant over time. 

Mechanical damage involves tracking vibrations, movement, and cracks. Over time, these threaten the building’s structural integrity. With regular monitoring, you can compare the changes and take action to protect and preserve your structure.

Providing Structural Monitoring for Your Building

Care and maintenance of structures, such as skyscrapers, stadiums, and hotels, doesn’t end when the construction is complete; it just changes focus. Instead of worrying about what it takes to get the work done, place your attention on the condition of the finished project. Of course, you want that structure to last for decades, or more, so it still requires your attention. Your concern now changes to structural monitoring for your building.

You want to keep an eye on its condition, especially looking for damage that may be happening in places where you can’t see it. With the newest generation of control panels, we provide you with structural monitoring for your building. 

We look at factors such as vibrations, visible cracks, temperature, and humidity. Our panels keep track of all of the data for you with automatic monitoring that alerts you to changes that demand your attention. 

The ultimate goal is to provide you with the technology to preserve your building. With knowledge and information, you have the power for preventive or corrective maintenance that protects the structural integrity of your investment. And we provide all of this in real-time, so you can make intelligent decisions by tracking multiple building elements.
