Structural monitoring

Structural monitoring for civil works and geotechnical instrumentation

The structural monitoring It allows monitoring the behavior of critical infrastructures and structures over time, helping to detect early movements, deformations, pressure variations or changes in stability that could affect the safety and durability of the work.

In applications of civil works, It is not enough to have a sensor: it is essential to have a reliable measurement solution in real field conditions, where factors such as humidity, vibrations, electromagnetic interference, long cable distances or demanding environmental conditions have an impact.

In GUEMISA We offer solutions for geotechnical instrumentation and structural monitoring for engineering projects, monitoring and continuous control in tunnels, dams, bridges, slopes, foundations and other structures under technical supervision.

Solutions for monitoring and control of structures

Within this category you will find equipment and sensors geared towards:

• Pressure and level measurement using piezometers
• Control of displacements and movements with inclinometers
• Deformation monitoring with extensometers
• Continuous data recording by dataloggers and acquisition systems
• Integration into monitoring, remote control and data acquisition systems

Common applications

• Tunnel and excavation monitoring
• Structural control in dams and canals
• Supervision of bridges and unique structures
• Slope instrumentation and ground stability
• Geotechnical control in foundations and underground works

Technical advice for each application

Selecting the right instrumentation depends on multiple factors: the variable to be measured, the operating range, the required accuracy, installation conditions, the acquisition system, communications, and the service environment. Therefore, at GUEMISA, we don't just offer products; we help define the most suitable solution for each application. structural monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is structural monitoring?

It is the set of techniques and equipment used to measure and monitor the behavior of a structure over time, allowing the detection of changes that may affect its stability or safety.

What is the purpose of geotechnical instrumentation?

Geotechnical instrumentation allows the control of parameters such as pressure, displacement, deformation or water level in the ground and in structures, facilitating decision-making in engineering and civil works projects.

In what types of works is it used?

It is used in tunnels, dams, bridges, slopes, excavations, foundations, canals, underground works and other infrastructure where technical control and monitoring are necessary.
