Sensor that measures crack movement in structures by detecting changes in wire tension. Provides precise readings even in harsh site conditions.
Sensor measuring horizontal displacement within soil or fill materials. Commonly used for monitoring embankments and ground stability. Data helps evaluate settlement patterns over time.
Device that measures loads in anchors, struts, or supports using changes in vibrating wire frequency. Ensures safety by tracking applied and transferred forces over time.
Sensor that measures pore water pressure in soil or rock with high accuracy. Widely used in dams, foundations, and deep excavations. Provides stable readings even in harsh conditions.
Instrument used to measure soil or rock pressure against retaining structures or tunnel linings. Helps assess load distribution and safety. Often applied in tunnels, retaining walls, and dams.
Embedded or surface-mounted sensor that measures strain in concrete, steel, or rock. Widely used in geotechnical, civil, and structural projects.
Sensor that records ground or structural vibrations in three directions, useful for monitoring construction impact. It also helps detect early signs of structural distress or instability.
Virtual Rail Sensors are digital tools that use geospatial and monitoring data to simulate rail alignment. They help detect settlement, track movement, and deformation trends without installing physical devices on the rails.
